History:

always the second club in Munich, but with a better stronghold in the working class quarters and in the surrounding countryside.
Chaoten 1860 was the first ultra-oriented group 1996.

2001 many of them founded the Cosa Nostra, the first “real” Ultragroup.
2008 Giasinga Buam joined and became the leading support group, after the jordanian investor Ismaik take over a big part of the club and CN stopped for a long time their activity.

They fight a long time against the stadium (the Allianz Arena), the Investor & his friends (Power, ec.) and their own club management.
2017 they got nearly bankrupt and played in the 4th League. But finally, they came back into the Grünwalderstadion.
Current they´re in the 3. League.

2016 Giasinga Buam lost their fence flag to Bayern München. Also Cosa Nostra dissolved themselve because of internal things.

So, they founded the umbrella Organisation Münchner Löwen.  Also Panzerknacker & Blue Blood Fanatics became more important.
Comitiva 90 is more or less the same like CN.

1860 was always attractive to far-right wing / NS organizations (Kraken, 3.Weg, NPD, ec.) because of the history / recruitment of younger fans. So, they have/had their own groups like Outsiders or Brigade Giesing.

2023 Münchner Löwen as an umbrella Group stopped, because the Groups inside had internal problems.

Leonum is current one of the best German groups.

History:

the biggest/most successful club in Germany by far.
Südkurve as a Stand was founded still in the old stadium (Olympia Stadium) by cawl Fanclubs.
First Ultra groups were Munich Maniacs 1996, later joined by Red Munichs.
2001 Inferno Bavaria started.
2002 the three groups collect their power in Schickeria München.
this new group grew rapidly, but also without any control. So, after an incident, where SM-Members attacked Buses of Nürnberg with glasses and a noninvolved woman lost an eye, they changed their member system and also took more a focus on politics.

So, Inferno Bavaria left the Schickeria and became a well-respected own group again, until they dissolved themselves 2016.
With the time new groups joined. The fan scene of Bayern had to survive much repression from the part of their own club, the police & the media. Sometimes they were nearly dead.
But today they became much stronger than they were in the past.
