Overview
- St. Pauli announced Saturday’s home game against RB Leipzig is off after days of snow clearing proved insufficient, with snow on the stadium roof a key concern.
- The club said postponement would reduce strain on emergency services, transport networks and the healthcare system during the storm.
- The German Football League had said it expected all nine top-flight games to proceed but would closely monitor the worsening forecast.
- Other fixtures in the hardest-hit areas remain under review, with Werder Bremen urging early arrival and limited car travel and Union Berlin mobilizing volunteers to clear snow.
- Snow disrupted northern and eastern Germany on Friday with more expected overnight, suspending long-distance rail in much of the north and hindering road travel; a new date for St. Pauli–Leipzig has not been set.
