- After the third division game of SpVgg Unterhaching against FC Hansa Rostock on Saturday, there were "violent misconduct" by so-called fans on the A9 motorway, as the police reported.
A large contingent of emergency services was necessary, but was then able to quickly bring the situation under control.
Before that, FC Hansa Rostock had won 1-0 against SpVgg Unterhaching.
While the relegation of the club from the district of Munich from the third division to the regional division was already certain in the previous week, after this victory, FC Hansa Rostock is now on the verge of promotion to the second division.
Some of the fans who traveled with us took this as an opportunity to celebrate extensively.
A9 / Dreieck Holledau: Rostock fans block the autobahn after beating Unterhaching
According to previous investigations, around 30 fan-filled cars accompanied the FC Hansa Rostock players' bus on its way back to its Nordic homeland.
At around 5:45 p.m. at the Holledau motorway triangle (Pfaffenhofen district), the escorts slowed their vehicles to a standstill, blocking all three lanes for several minutes.
Several FC Hansa Rostock supporters, some of whom were drunk, also left their cars, celebrated, waved flags and set off pyrotechnic objects.
This resulted in significant traffic delays.

As the police announced, it was more of a lucky coincidence that no people were injured by the blockade. According to previous knowledge, there was also no property damage. Nevertheless, a large contingent of the police had to move in to initiate the dissolution of the blockade. In total, more than 200 officers from various agencies and riot police were on duty.
Several vehicles involved were identified and escorted to the Ingolstadt-Nord junction by the officers. There, the affected vehicle occupants were subjected to a check. The personal details of a total of 17 people were recorded. In coordination with the Ingolstadt public prosecutor's office, investigative proceedings were initiated against the suspects for dangerous interference in road traffic and for breach of the peace. In addition, violations of the Weapons and Explosives Act as well as the Infection Protection Act and the Narcotics Act were found. The people checked were then able to continue their journey home.
