In the fall of 1918, after it had become clear that the Great War was lost, revolution broke out in Germany. In the area around Leipzig, workers supported the revolution with unusual determination, in many cases seeking to socialize their companies on their own authority.

This book examines a five-year old football club from Leipzig which was founded by Red Bull for marketing reasons. Because the audience’s interest is surprisingly high, the motivation for the attendance of those fans has been investigated.
