Union Berlin became a hotbed of punks, rebels, and opponents to GDR prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 2004, fans donated blood to keep the club afloat, and in 2008, supporters volunteered to renovate the club's stadium.
More than a decade on, Union reached the Bundesliga for the first time, and now they're flying high alongside the likes of Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Borussia Monchengladbach.
So in today's video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the incredible fan culture at Union Berlin, the club's struggles in the past, and how they turned their fortunes around.

The fans actually help the club, that’s really charitable. Those fans are probably the most charitable people I’ve ever heard of.

It's a great signing and with Max we are able to compete for and in the Europa League. Without Max we are still sucessfull, but not as offensively prolific. Without the last two Games we were 5th and sometimes 4th. These last two games were our first consequtive losses and were pretty close, I guess ihr team is tired such as a lot of teams...

There is one issue, the club haven't a budget for the UEL and stadium classification for european tournaments. And when they get more attantion plus a very good ranking until the end of the season. Then will come the bigger clubs to buy a lot of players, like LENZ is moving to Frankfurt, Unions Budget isnt so big enough to replace the players and the team gonna broke and the fall gonna come. They have to pass some seasons in the Bundesliga to generate some more budget, this is the the first important goal for the club.

@Elijah Edric Guinto Not sure if they have the potential to qualify for the Champions League but if they can keep their roster then they have the potential to be regular Europa League or Europa Conference League participants which is already a huge achievement for a club that never played in 1. Bundesliga prior to 2019.

You should do a video on David Martindale. If you don’t know he was in prison for 3 and a half years and after getting released he volunteered to help out Livingstons training. He rised from a volunteer to a manager who is unbeaten in 11 and has guided Livingston to a league cup final for the first time in 17 years. I’m not a Livingston fan but it really is a heart warming story. Thought it’s an interesting idea for a video.👍

Now that you made a video about Union please make a video about the Football Club on the other side of Berlin, Hertha. They got millions of Euros from a Billionaire and spend the third most amount for transfers in this season. With ambitions for at least the Europa League the first half of the season started terribly for them and there now almost in the relegation zone. Now after the defeat against Werder Bremen there are rumors that they will kick out thier manager Labbadia.

Hey Alfie, would you consider doing one of these deep dives videos for Defensa y Justicia from Argentina? They just won the Copa Sudamericana, their very first major trophy, afther having reached the argentinian firts division for the first time ever in 2014. In those six years, they have consistently been one of the most offensive, free flowing and fun to watch teams of the league, reaching second place a few years ago. All of that despise having changed managers multiple times and having a high player turnover, as most of their squad is usually composed of loanies at any given time. Really, they are a joy to watch, and the sudamericana title feels like a just reward to them. It would make a fine video I think.

It’s crazy in that Newcastle are considered to have possibly the best supporters in the EPL yet Sunderland are known to have potentially the worst. The Sunderland supports are very quick to turn on their managers (as they did Peter Reid). Can’t say I have experienced this myself so am not sure if this is accurate or just slander.
