History:
Ultra-oriented Groups like Komplott Hannovera, Brigade Nord, Roter Infarkt & Verrückte Meute closed in the year 2000 to Ultras Hannover together.
Brigade Nord left the UH, after personal disputes & difficult views About tifo, mentality, ec. in the Stadium.
They stood in the first Floor, UH & Rest of the fanscene in the second.
Since years the whole fan scene fight against Martin Kind, the club president & Investor of Hannover 96 & one of the worst guys in german Football.
2014, Brigade Nord lost their away flag to Dortmund.
After that, BN split & parts of the made the Group “Streunende Köter” who changed their name after a bit of time in Gruppe Unterrang. They are a apolitical Group & have good Connections to UH, in contrast to BN.
BN lost 2016 some stuff to Braunschweig & so they dissolved themselves.
2018, RBH was kicked out of the fan scene & stand, after some of them take part in a political Demo.
In the Last days; Ultras Hannover (as a Group for all Ultras) was official dissolved, also the subgroups Dudes & Mitte 96 stopped their activities. In the UH there were some disputes About the RBH, internal Things, ec.
Today the Leading Groups are West Hannover, Komplott, GU & P&P
Overall a nice and important scene in Germany and Europe wise.
