On February 17th & 18th this year, the 2nd german league had more viewers in the stadiums than the first one. You seem to have a point here.

Schalke's situation is like if Tottenham was on the brink of going to League 1 in 4 years, only that Schalke is far bigger. 5th biggest sports club in the world.

Love Bundesliga and 2.BL, been to 5 games in germany, flying all the way from USA. I actually at the 2.BL match when Stuttgart clinched the title. Amazing. German football is the best.

Also in the 3rd League the atmosphere in some stadium are more crazy than in England.

Thanks from Germany, great video 👍🏻 2. Bundesliga and even 3. Liga have been way more enjoyable than the 1. Bundesliga for a couple of years now.. top flight football unfortunately has lost his soul literally everywhere, so it's great to have such great atmospheres and classic clubs in the lower leagues.

Just not to forget that there are also a couple of big names in the Third Bundesliga, like TSV 1860 München or Dynamo Dresden. More than half of its clubs have spent time in the Bundesliga at some point of their history. Some only briefly and long ago, like Preußen Münster, others for years or even decades and more recently, like MSV Duisburg, Arminia Bielefeld or München 1860. Until 2022, Kaiserslautern also spent some time in the third tier and might go there again at the end of this season. I don't know the numbers from ticket sales, but I suspect the Third Bundesliga must have a very high attendence.

They might have better players and more money, but the English football has lost its soul due to the heavy investment of oil money.
Plus, the ridiculous rise in ticket prices has led to a situation where the real ones can't afford to watch their club live.

Hertha against Schalke had more spectators in the stadium (70.000) than Barca against Atletico (68.000) in a parallel game 🤯

[TheBusbyBabes]

when an investor wanted to buy parts of the bundesliga this season all the fanbases of the german clubs joined in protest against it across all two top leagues, disrupting a ton of games.

Great video! Learnt a lot. Now have an interest in what’s going on in German football. Didn’t realise so many big teams I remember now in the second division !

[jakob]

Kaiserslautern has also 4 league Titels an 2 times german Cup winner

[derzool]

Talking about history rich clubs in the Bundesliga 2 without even mentioning Kaiserslautern is ridiculous.

[nightstorm]

Many good players where once young players from Schalke like: Thilo Kehrer, Julian Draxler, Leroy Sané, Mesut Özil, Joel Matip and Manuel Neuer.

[louiskohnke]

To expand on your point: the five seasons Hamburg has been in Bundesliga 2 they have finished fourth, fourth again, fourth AGAIN, then finally went into relegation play-off by finishing third (but lost) - twice in a row. Ridiculous.

[kingstonow]

German here, it's really nice to see the 2. Bundesliga being appreciated. It's crazy how this season goes. I wish there would be more people like you.

[DerEchteer]

Tomorrow there will be 75.000 Visitors between. Hertha BSC and Hansa Rostock. With 30.000 away fans. That’s absolutely incredible

[robinschenk]

Well, as a fan of a Bundesliga-club, that is always close to being relegated to 2.Bundesliga (Mainz), I could relax and say: "What a fantastic league. Nothing bad if you go down." But as tight as the competition is and as ambitious as many clubs are:
You don´t wanna go there. It could be your death...

[Krenoss]

Nice Video! I'm from germany visiting basically every homematch of st.pauli since being a little boy and it's awesome to see the second league getting appreciated internationally.

The reason why German fan culture is so different, is because of the way football is structured. With the exception of Leipzig, Wolfsburg and Leverkusen (the latter two because of historical reasons and Leipzig due to some rule trickery) are majority fan owned (even Hoffenheim is nowadays, after the previous owner gave up majority ownership). So fans aren’t fans of the club, they are the club. There is a deeply rooted connection to the club.

In England or other countries you have no voice, except for the few percentages ticket sales make up in your clubs revenue.
