Law enforcement officers dispatched to the Bundesliga game between Hamburg SV and FC St. Pauli

On August 29, 2025, the Bundesliga football match between Hamburger SV and FC St. Pauli took place at the Volksparkstadion, attracting over 57,000 spectators. The day was marked by a successful police operation, as public transport ran smoothly under the guidance of the Federal Police.

The Federal Police Directorate Hannover, in collaboration with local authorities and DB AG security forces, implemented targeted coordination measures and barrier concepts to minimise potential crowding issues, particularly at the S-Bahn station Stellingen. These measures proved effective, as there were no significant disruptions during the arrival and departure in the Federal Police's area of responsibility.

The tactical security concept of the Federal Police in the railway police area was successful, with the cooperation between the forces being described as good, as in previous deployments. The Federal Police deployment forces focused on preventing any encounter or mixing of fan groups in the railway police area, specifically during times of arrival and departure.

Approximately 20,600 fans of both clubs used public transport during the event, and the balanced concept implemented by the Federal Police allowed for the safe following of the derby by peaceful fans. The course of the police operation on the day was peaceful, with Michael Schuol, President of the Federal Police Directorate Hannover, expressing satisfaction with the operation.

The identities of the federal police officers who were deployed alongside the Federal Police Reserve in the special operational organization (BAO) during the match have not been publicly disclosed for operational security reasons. However, it is known that around 320 federal police officers, including units from the Federal Riot Police, were deployed for the event.
