She wanted to breastfeed her son and was then harassed by a drunk Union Berlin fan - now Moritz Jenz's wife Steffani has made the situation public.
Berlin – Repulsive scenes in Berlin: Steffani Jenz, wife of Wolfsburg professional Moritz Jenz, just wanted to quietly breastfeed her son in the stadium restaurant last Saturday.
An obviously drunk Union Berlin fan felt harassed and harassed her.
The mother of the eleven-month-old boy described the incident in a long Instagram statement - and was deeply shocked that she was not helped.

The Italian-born singer reported that a man with a beer in his hand and an angry look on his face approached her while she was breastfeeding her son in the family area of the nearly empty stadium restaurant.
The situation occurred during the first half of the Bundesliga game between Union Berlin and VfL Wolfsburg.
The “man over 70” is said to have asked her to leave the room and even threw one of the child’s toys at the mother.
The staff didn't seem to understand the situation.
When Jenz spoke to a security employee, he went to the older man and, as the Wolfsburg star's wife described it, they both laughed after five seconds.

“Unfortunately, we live in a society that not only does not condemn these types of ignorant people, but also protects them and has the courage to laugh about them,” raged Steffani Jenz in her post.
1. FC Union Berlin wrote an apology directly underneath.
“We saw Ms. Jenz’s post and immediately apologized to her via social media, but also thanked her for making the issue public,” explained Union communications director Christian Arbeit.
“It should go without saying that mothers can breastfeed their babies without being bothered.
We also place this demand on the guests and employees in our stadium.”
