The cost was less than 100,000 euros. - Behind Lautern's stunningly efficient dance moves lies a secret.
As the match at the Berlin Olympic Stadium is about to begin, a fiend with the FCK marking on his chest emerges from the Lauter fan curve's depths. In his left clasp, he holds the DFB Cup tightly, while his right holds a trident, which he uses to stir a kettle in which the crests of previous Pokal opponents such as Nuremberg, Cologne, Hertha, and Saarbrücken swim. The Leverkusen emblem is also noticeable.
In the backdrop: Mountains with lava streams flowing, symbolizing Betzenberg, where the Fritz Walter Stadium is located. Lautern's spectators are renowned for their intricate choreographies. However, this one is on an entirely different scale.
Lautern's spectacular choreography!
Captain Jean Zimmer (30) remarked calmly, "What transpired in the stadium - this choreo, if you're familiar with the faces, the individuals behind it, the amount of labor, time, and money spent to bring about such a presentation, we can be proud of it and take off our hats. It was even more painful that they weren't recognized."
Lautern lost 0:1 against the German champion Leverkusen on a long-range shot from Granit Xhaka (16).
Lautern's season was a struggle to avoid relegation in the second division, but at least in the Pokal final, their fans displayed Champions League-worthy choreography! Over a thousand hours were spent on the initiative: cutting, drawing, painting, and planning. Approximately 100,000 euros were spent. A completely new dimension. Normally, choreos in the Bundesliga cost around 20,000 euros.
These projects are supported from their own pockets, through donations, and membership fees. Ultras at the Betzenberg, Fan Hall West, collect contributions in the beaker. These fans devise extravagant ideas with the deposit.
The choreography wowed even their players. Ben Zolinski (32) remarked, "It was genuinely incredible when we ran onto the field and confronted the massive devil. I thought, what's going on here? An astonishing atmosphere that I will remember forever."
The choreography is made from the material "Frontlit PVC": tear-resistant, weatherproof, and non-flammable. The layout was designed by graffiti artist Daniel Ferino, a devoted FCK fan who has already created murals at the Betzenberg. With a clever bottle pulley system, the large banner was hoisted using steel cables. Flyers were distributed beforehand so that everyone in the block understood what to do. The arrangers appealed beforehand for "absolute assistance and discipline" in the curve.
The plan was a success, and an choreo for eternity was created.
