He also knows that too few signs were set in the past.

“There was a lack of courage, courage and decency (for me and others).

Right-wing extremists and extremist attitudes were accepted without contradiction.

I got to know that in my other youth football days at other clubs, ”says Küpperfahrenberg, a little self-critical.

"We have to be careful, we have to be vigilant, we must never tolerate racism and homophobia, we have to intervene, we have to show courage," he adds.

Jimmy Hartwig has once again strongly condemned Jens Lehmann's racist statement and praised the reaction from Hertha BSC. "I think it's great that Hertha BSC immediately took the consequences and removed him from his position because you can't say that," said the former international in an interview with the news channel Welt on Wednesday.

Instead of Aogo, he would not have accepted Lehmann's apology. "That was not an excuse." The message was "an impression that I apologized for in conversation with Dennis," tweeted Lehmann. Hartwig said: “You can always apologize, but you have to think about beforehand what kind of nonsense you are talking about. Especially on the subject of racism. "

As an ambassador for fair play, diversity and respect for the German Football Association, Hartwig attaches great importance to the fight against racism.

“It's a long way into the minds of these people.” Above all, he relies on conversations with young people.
