Adrian Maleika

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adrian Maleika (born November 22, 1965 , † October 17, 1982 in Hamburg-Altona ) was a fan of SV Werder Bremen and the first person to be killed in attacks by hooligans in the Federal Republic of Germany. He died on October 17, 1982, one day after the attack on him on the way to the DFB Cup match between Hamburger SV and SV Werder Bremen , in the Altona General Hospital of a skull base fracture and cerebral hemorrhage .

prehistory

In the 1970s, the problem of violence between rival fan groups, known as hooliganism , also increased in the Federal Republic of Germany . This also applied to parts of the supporters of the two big north clubs Werder Bremen and HSV.

Raid

The 16-year-old Bremen glass apprentice from an Upper Silesian late repatriate family was on the way to the DFB Cup game of SV Werder at Hamburger SV with other Werder fans when he was attacked by members of the Hamburg fan group Die Löwen, not far from the Volksparkstadion , which is notorious for its aggressiveness . The group was infiltrated by right-wing extremists . He did not get off at the Stellingen S-Bahn station , which is closest to the stadium and was monitored by police officers, but went one stop ( Eidelstedt S-Bahn station ). On the way to the stadium, through an industrial area and then through a wood on the area of ​​the Altonaer Volkspark , there was an attack by members of that HSV fan group on the Werder fans group, in which Maleika also moved. Among other things, gas pistols , flare ammunition , CS gas , billets and bricks were used. Maleika was hit in the head by a stone. Although he was already on the ground, members of the Lions still kicked the 16-year-old.

Maleika died the next day in the Altona General Hospital as a result of the injuries ( fractured skull base , cerebral haemorrhage ). He was buried on October 22, 1982 in the cemetery in Bremen-Huckelriede , the funeral service was also attended by the then manager of SV Werder, Willi Lemke , and HSV, Günter Netzer , as well as Werder vice president Klaus-Dieter Fischer and Bremen's team captain Benno Möhlmann part.

Aftermath

In order to avoid "acts of revenge" and future clashes, around 200 fan delegates from both clubs and managers Lemke and Netzer met in Scheeßel , about halfway between the two Hanseatic cities. According to Skrentny / Prüß, a "standstill agreement" was agreed there.

With the support of the Hanseatic city, the Hamburger Sportjugend initiated the HSV fan project that still exists today. This also earned merit because parts of the right-wing extremist scene that had emerged in the context of HSV in the 1980s and early 1990s were pushed back.

On December 19, 1983, eight members of the Hamburg fan club Die Löwen were charged by the 4th criminal chamber of the Hamburg Regional Court with dangerous bodily harm , breach of the peace or participating in a brawl . One defendant was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, another was sentenced to ten months probation, and a woman was given ten labor assignments. Five defendants were acquitted. However, it remained unclear who killed Maleika.

Honor

From 1987 to 2003 Adrian Maleika memorial tournaments took place. Since October 17, 2012, 30 years after Maleika's death, there has been a memorial plaque in the east curve of Bremen's Weser Stadium .
