Hans Högg is annoyed about a "Bundesliga-ready circus" that is increasingly being organized by district league footballers, and about parties in the clubhouse.

Football has been played on the sports field next to the Amper for almost 100 years.
Except for sporting explosiveness, there hasn't been any major excitement there so far.
That has now changed.
Emmering
– Only the river, which is almost ten meters wide at this point, separates the sports field from the residential buildings in the town centre.
A Ur-Emmeringer and once passionate FCE supporter has therefore felt his peace disturbed for eight years now.
“The sports facility has mutated into an event zone.
"They party until late at night," says Hans Högg.

Before, during and after games, meaningless music blared out of the speakers for just a handful of spectators.
"And there are more and more games with a corresponding background noise," explains Högg.
The 60-year-old has lived right across from the stadium on the other bank of the Ampere since he was born.
Now he is going to the administrative court.

However, the lawsuit is not directed against FC Emmering.
Rather, Högg initially has the district office in his sights.
The trouble started in September 2021. At that time, the district office had to deal with complaints about nightly parties in the clubhouse for the first time.

Hans Högg, Emmering
Högg, whose family at times played a key role in shaping and shaping Emmeringer football, explained to the Tagblatt that he "of course did not" want to destroy Emmeringer football or even have the sport banned.
"We just want everything to be tolerable again." A number of neighbors along the main road would support him with his complaint.
"We're talking about a club that plays football in front of a maximum of 50 spectators in the district class and organizes a circus like in the Bundesliga," says Högg, who is well connected in town.
The "noise level apparently necessary for this" had become unacceptable for the residents.

Unacceptable noise on the sports field: "circus like in the Bundesliga"
Which, Högg suspects, is also due to the structural changes that have been made to the clubhouse in recent years.
The pergola was expanded to become an integral part of the building and was only approved later.
One reason why the lawsuit has so far only been directed against the Free State of Bavaria and the district office under it.
Högg does not want to rule out a dispute under private law with the sports club.
The complainant is also bothered by the fact that long after the final whistle and curfew, the players and their entourage "are allowed to bawl and play music at full volume with impunity until late at night".
The situation arose when the club no longer ran the parlor itself, but leased it to professional restaurateurs.
"Of course, they have an interest in the guests staying as long as possible and making sales."
The club management accuses Högg of not responding to his complaints for eight years.
In fact, a number of rounds of talks were unsuccessful, confirms Mayor Stefan Floerecke (CSU).
He was also "very surprised" that a site visit with plaintiffs, the district office and the mayor had recently taken place without the participation of the association.
This is justified by the district office with the recently completed change of management board.
President Manfred Schunn, who was elected four weeks ago, does not want to comment on the matter, citing ongoing proceedings.
According to Floerecke, the immense increase in game operations in recent years would have led to renewed complaints.

Incomprehensible for Högg, because that's exactly why the new football fields were created at the community center.
For the mayor, however, one thing is certain, despite all the sympathy for complaints and complaints: "The sports grounds assigned by the municipality to the club on a hereditary leasehold right are designed exactly for this in the development plan.
A restriction of game operations is therefore non-negotiable.” But Floerecke also admits: “We as a community are only involved in the matter to a limited extent.” The relevant authority is the district office.
There, the building authority, trade authority and the immission control authority are now examining possible measures.
But after eight years of unsuccessful complaints, Hans Högg no longer wants to rely on that.
"We've filed a lawsuit," he confirms, knowing what he's getting into: "But I'm not a toast to complain about church bells or the smell of odel, I'm a local who knows that these noises at such a noise level are not normal are in the middle of a village.”
At the same time, the resident continues to emphasize his willingness to talk: “I grew up with football in Emmering.
And I want football to continue to be played here.
But please with consideration, decency and calmly,” sums up Hans Högg.
