The participation on Friday evening was huge.

The Löwen fans commemorated the late Ultra Moritz Walter with a unique choreography.

Munich – And suddenly Giesing is mourning.

The sportingly successful start to the season – overshadowed by a particularly tragic accident.

A devoted Curves fan, father of four young children, died in a motorcycle accident.

Aged only 36.

The fate of Moritz Walter from Freising affects everyone who has anything to do with TSV 1860: fans, professionals, and also the investor Hasan Ismaik, based in Abu Dhabi, who spontaneously announced: "We will not leave the family alone."

Moritz Walter was "even as a baby with his father" at the games of TSV 1860 Munich

But the participation was huge in other respects as well.

The home game against Halle on Friday started with a minute's silence, before that Ultras dedicated an emotional choreo to their curve comrades: a sign with his likeness protruded from a sea of ​​black balloons, Bengalos were burning instead of candles, and a block-spanning poster read white on black: "Rest in Peace, Moritz!"

"Even as a baby with his father," Moritz was taken to TSV 1860 games, according to a circular from friends who organized a fundraiser.

Motto: "All for Moritz".

After a short time, 3,000 people expressed their sympathy for the bereaved.

"The lion family sticks together."

Hasan Ismaik in his letter of solidarity.

Ismaik, although an enemy of inveterate Ultras, went one step further.

He will work to ensure that the professional team "comes to the home club of the deceased", to the district league club FC Inhauer Moos.

The entire proceeds will go to the widow and their four children, the Jordanian promised via Twitter and even quoted from the Bible: "Brothers, we don't want you to be ignorant of the deceased so that you don't mourn like the others who have no hope have” (1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 13).

"The lion family sticks together," concluded Ismaik's letter of solidarity - and that's how the Ultras see it, too, who put a note on the pitch for every stadium visitor.

This contained, among other things, the official donation address: DE68 7005 1995 0020 6694 20 (IBAN), reference: "All for Moritz Familie".
