For the first Time, the Club invites you to a Christmas sing into the stadium. Maybe it helps also in the Bundesliga.
commentary by Claudia Henzler
for Centuries, the Church was the place where people with candle-Shine and singing together advanced and as a part of a community experienced. While the churches members lose, obviously, need to feel from time to time, as part of a collective. And not a few can breastfeed in the football stadium, which are considered as “cathedrals of everyday life”.
In the run-up to Christmas, you are not only in a figurative sense, since Fans of the 1. FC Union Berlin have invented the Carol singing. According to the legend, the gathered a few members of the fan clubs of “Alt-Unioner” 15 years ago “semi-legal” in the Stadion an der Alten forsterei with mulled wine and pastries and Christmas carols sang. This developed into the now traditional Carol singing, with nearly 30 000 participants, had to be introduced because of the great demand even a ticket system. Fans rave about the cross-generational event, in the case of the people to peacefully get together and have a Christmas feeling to experience.
Other clubs have taken up the idea and with their own imprint. The BVB in Dortmund even had the Christmas records to sing in the eye and cheered this past weekend over 50 000 visitors (“Also to the community Sing, Dortmund, top-of-the-class”). The friends of the blue stadium up your family advent singing, however, rather unexcited.
For the first Time in Nuremberg this year. There, the municipal operating company of the Max-Morlock-stadium on Sunday for the collective sing. She hopes to more than 10 000 visitors, and in view of the pre-sale confident that that works, too. Participants pay six euros and get a candle and a booklet of 20 Christmas songs, including “All years” and “silent night, Holy night”. A Euro goes to a regional Association, the care of chronically ill children. Four choirs of the Franconian Sängerbunds will set the tone and a representative of the churches donate an Ecumenical blessing. And maybe it helps the Club in the Bundesliga, because he is in last place.
