Borussia Dortmund STADIUM TOUR! (Westfalenstadion)

I FINALLY went to Germany to take the Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion) stadium tour, the home of Borussia Dortmund.
I saw the Champions League, Bundesliga and DFB Pokal trophies and will even explain the confusing BVB 09 name this club officially has!

I've always had a soft spot for Borussia Dortmund (also for FC Liverpool) because both played eachother in the 1966 final (then) European Cup-Winners Cup. A few weeks before the '66 World Cup in England. Played at Hampden Park, Glasgow. At age nine it was the first game of my life I ever watched on TV (black & white). Incredible 2nd half and extra-time. Watching Dortmund's fantastic forwards Siggi Held, Lothar Emmerich and "Stan" Libuda, also goalie Tilkowski and others was sheer incredible. Or the Liverpool lot. Not forgetting Roger Hunt's equalizer. Yep, names that were immortalized since then in the 1966 World Cup final. Oh, nearly forgot, Dortmunt won 2-1.

A few years ago I had the privilege to attend a game at Signal Iduna and stood on the Yellow Wall. The game was Dortmund v Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup. What an incredible experience.

[@evanhaskel206]

6:11 after attending an MLS match last year, I realized that the thing I really love about football is how organic the fan energy is. There’s no obnoxious club/organ music being played to rally the fans. It’s all started by the fans.

[@Patrick-mn7bg]

Haha you use organic and mls in one sentence 😂 Kinda funny

[@evanhaskel206]

@@Patrick-mn7bg why is it funny?

[@LJMahomes]

Great observation. I wasn’t really sure what exactly I found so ridiculous about the Timeouts when watching NBA games, but I always mute my PC and sometimes even turn off the monitor when there are timeouts lol. Now you put it into words. It feels like the fans are just some marionettes, they react to what the arena does and it is pretty much the same for every game you watch. In football every club has their own identity and the fans influence that a lot. Especially here in Germany, where tickets aren’t incredibly expensive like in England, where you also are kind of an consumer and not a fan

3:42 also why there's several football clubs named Borussia all over Germany, to name a few: Dortmund and MG on the top tier; Tennis Berlin and Wuppertaler SV in the Regionalligas (although on the latter, the Borussia part is rejected by their fans); Neunkirchen and Fulda further down; and Friedenstal on the ladies' fourth tier.

[@nurderbvbabernurderbvb]

Hey, great Film about my club. But the reason for the name was a bit wrong. This is right for the outher Borussia. Borussia Mönchengladbach. But the Borussia in BVB comes from a Beer manufacuture in Dortmund with the name: Borussia Brauerei. The funny fact. The Factory only existed until 1901, but Borussia was founded in 1909. It was named after an old sign of this factory in a bar. The founder of BVB searched for a name, so, sitting in the bar, they decided to call it Borussia Dortmund.

[@jasondroy]

No way my son and I came from Kilmarnock to the Hoffenheim game last week - can't believe you were there you could have got some Scottish insight ! Amazing place and we did the football museum in Dortmund itself before coming to the game

4:23 Yes, the founder, which founded the club in the pub "Wildschütz" at Borsigplatz on 19.12.1909, were looking for a name for their new club. On the wall in the pub was a sign (advertising) of Borussia brewery. So they decided to name the club Borussia.

[@xxpvpmasterskillerproskyen514]

The German word for Prussia is Preußen. Borussia is the Latin name and the name of the female personification of the state of Prussia, which existed from 1525 to 1947. The name comes from the Baltic tribe of the Old Prussians or Prußen in German, which lands where conquered by the Teutonic Order or Deutscher Orden in German. 😄

My pain at 1:30 is unbearable, I know you probably didn't know this at the time, but you travelled via the orange line, via Wuppertal instead of Essen as you showed on the map. The big green thing you showed right before it the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal, literally translated as Hover Train, and it is still a very important mode of public transport in the city

[@Jimo1956]

Joost, though/felt the same ("My pain at 1:30 is unbearable"). He probably didn't realise it when the train passed the "Wuppertaler Schwebebahn." Then it's probably not easy to imagine what one is passing if one doesn't have the luck to see one of the "Schwebebahn" trains passing you.

Fun part at 12:32. Former Dortmund managerJürgen Klopp's broken spectacles. They didn't survive a game against Bayen Munich, 3:1 for Dortmund, because "Kloppo" was cheering so frantically. Funny the slip of tongue at 13:28 as the German DFB Pokal is named as the "Dutch" cup. Guess that's news to the Netherlands.

[@icetwo]

The German name for Prussia is Preußen, Borussia is just the Latinized version of it. There are also other clubs that have called themselves that, such as Borussia Mönchengladbach or Preußen Münster. Borussia Dortmund probably didn't call itself Borussia out of national pride, but rather after the Borussia brewery, which was located in the north of Dortmund, i.e. where the club was founded. That was just the beer they drank there. But it's not a factory team or anything like that, but simply an inspiration from the brewery (at least that's what the founding legend says)

[@michaelsaltmarsh3417]

One of the best stadium's in my opinion

[@chazhartwayne6493]

Great video but PSA: Its either "Signal Iduna Park" which is the stadiums official name at the moment due to the insurance company "Signal Iduna" having bought the naming rights from the club - OR (as we fans still call it becasue that is its original and true name) the Westfalenstadion.

I live in Seattle WA and a huge fan of the current CONCACAF Champions League winners, Seattle Sounders. They share their ground with the football team, Seattle Seahawks. But I lived in Frankfurt as a kid and remain a big fan of Eintracht Frankfurt. There are also 3 other Frankfurt clubs, which are in the lower leagues... FSV Frankfurt, FC Posavina Frankfurt, and FSV Fortuna Frankfurt 1973. FSV Frankfurt have had the biggest rivalry with Eintracht but all 4 clubs are very close in distance with each other. So if you come to Frankfurt, you probably can have 4 videos and you would not have to change hotel rooms. If you go see Bayern Munich... don't forget about 1860 Munich.

A little history Borussia is the Latin word for Prussia, a former European state that comprised much of what today is Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Russia. With its capital city in Berlin, Prussia was a major European power in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its military might was the driving force behind the unification of the various Germanic states in 1871 and the establishment of Germany as we (more or less) know it today. As a unified Germany became an increasingly industrialised nation and more powerful player on the international scene, nationalism grew, and was a factor in a number of German clubs, such as Dortmund and Gladbach, but also Neunkirchen and Fulda among others, having Borussia in their name. Dortmund, founded in 1909 in a local bar, have since become one of the most famous clubs in world football. - Bongarts/Getty Images Founding Borussia Dortmund The Borussia in Borussia Dortmund had less to do with patriotism than convenience, though. In 1909, a group of local young men, unhappy with playing football under the strict eye of the local priest, decided to form their own club in protest. They met at 60 Oesterholzstrasse, then a bar by the name of Zum Wildschutz, but since the meet-up was rather spontaneous and unprepared, the name Borussia was suggested simply because there was a Borussia-Brauerei sign on the wall, the Borussia Brewery being situated just a short distance from the bar. Founding Borussia Mönchengladbach Borussia Mönchengladbach had been formed in 1900 when a group of young men had assembled at the restaurant Anton Schmitz in the Eicken district of Mönchengladbach. In this case, patriotism was a stronger motivation and Borussia was added to the name since the city of Mönchengladbach was formerly part of the old kingdom of Prussia. Who are the true 'Borussen'? You might also hear fans of each side labelled “Borussen”. Just who are the true Borussen is a point of contention among the two sets of supporters - Gladbach arguably have more of a claim to the title since their club’s formation pre-dates BVB's by nine years - but what is certain is the proud place both of them hold in Germany’s football history.
