Overview
- The DFB sports court confirmed a €75,250 penalty for the Sept. 30 derby against Energie Cottbus after officials counted at least 145 pyrotechnic violations, with up to €25,050 allowed for security and violence‑prevention measures.
- A separate €32,950 sanction was finalized for the floodlight‑farewell display after the 2–1 win over 1860 Munich, when a nine‑year‑old sustained severe burns, with up to €4,300 eligible for safety investments.
- The court’s written reasoning states no exemption from the DFB ban on stadium pyrotechnics was requested or granted for the displays.
- Rostock authorities said the event permit covered only twelve effect hand flares (Category T1) per floodlight mast, and other devices used were neither applied for nor approved.
- Including prior cases, Hansa’s total fines this season stand at €137,355, the highest tally in Germany’s 3. Liga.
