Mr Kubicki, they were now already more often in the Stadion an der Alten forsterei. What you are looking for as a FDP politician?

In the case of Union of Berlin, it is primarily about football and not about Commerce, all of these are solid guys here. The stadium has fallen to my wife. And the atmosphere in the stadium is spectacular, comparable to St. Pauli.

As you were at the Union?

it came As the contact is established, I don’t know anymore. Anyway, I was for the first Time in the stadium, as a Union, against Kiel played. Since then, I deal more intensively with the history of Unions.

The Hertha you are not interested in?

I, of course, the rivalry between Hertha and Union; in the city there is only “Iron” or Hertha. And it is not exactly cheap in Berlin, with regard to the majority, to explain, to find Union better than Hertha.

Then you know, who can not be from the West to buy, as the Union’s anthem.

The fan behaviour to defend themselves against certain aspirations, I think. It has fascinated me, for example, that Unioner and Kiel during the last duel of the first 20 minutes are completely silent. The German football-documented League that it should actually go to football and not to the sale of the TV times, is a clear Statement.

Would you say that Union is characterized a special Ostmentalität?

Union, at least, that the Fans have done a lot for their club. Without you, there would be no club. This is a very close relationship that is lived in almost no other club. Regardless of whether this relates to the construction of the stadium or the legendary Christmas sing, the Federation has gained wide fame.

When the stadium announcer calls out the names of the Unioner, provided the Fans with the addition of “football God”. This egalitarianism, you endure?

Oh, that’s not my Problem. In Kiel, however, there is a football God – this is Patrick Herrmann, but it’s gone unfortunately. If the shot is a goal – which occurred rarely, was the celebrated well. I think it’s in the Union for the players beautifully, that you are all appreciated in this Form.

Nina Hagen sings in the Union-anthem, that it has only a could give, “Eisern Union”. This is still with your passion for Holstein Kiel-compatible?

of Course, because I can understand it well: For every Fan and his club is the biggest. The line is not meant to be evil, as a complete differentiation from all the others. But this Text is perhaps due to the history of Union deeper. It was during the East German era, the direct competition to the Stasi club.

you raving almost. Can you really, in good conscience, Kiel Fan?

Please never forget: Until I was 18. Years I played at Eintracht Braunschweig.

As a right halfback, right?

Right runner and centre-half, the Position is no more today.

you should Have been able to take left-wing positions?

Because I’m right footed, it would have been impractical.

you Have were still a few memories of a particularly painful low?

Not really. The Arm I broke me ankle broke. And because I was playing without Shin-pads, still grace a few bumps on my legs.

Was it really that bad?

For me has always been: Real men fight without cover. Therefore, I have dispensed with the protection measures to a large extent.

there Were at least a few sweet tasting victories?

As a viewer, I especially remember the title of master of Concord in 1967. I sang in a choir, because I had a-a-bell voice. 14 days before a gig, but I was in the stadium and have a Big yelling. Then I could no longer sing. The choir had to be in front of the appearance in Wolfenbüttel occupied – without my participation.
