Travel Tips

In 1986 as I was six years old my father went to the Neckarstadion with me.

Since that moment I was infected withe the red virus.

I always support the red ring.

This the traditional outfit of the shirt. The red ring around the dress.

As long VfB Stuttgart wear this dress I will support this club.

A person said you must have a red ring tatoo!

Until now I have seen over 500 matches of this club in many different stadiums and countries.

It is completely something else than groundhopping to follow the reds.

It is a passion that will never end! In good and bad times!

This is the only autograph card I own.

It is with a personal sentence from Jogi Löw:

For Tobias in Hebsack the greatest supporter.

It was in 1996 when Jogi Löw was the coach of the VfB Stuttgart.

Some girls from school asked Jogi for this autogramm and gave it to me.

This was the time when I bought my first season ticket 1995/1996.

My first away game was 1997.

This is Buddy the symbol of commando cannstatt.

Since 1998 I am member of this group.

Since 2000 I have a tatoo of buddy.

This shows that I will be a member of this crew forever.

Why that: Ultra lifestyle is not a temporary youth subculture!

It is a way of thinking and living.

Ultra means to support your crew and your team in all times.

To support with chants, to support with optic possibilties.

Ultra means to be proud of the tradition of your club.

To the defend against influences from football enemies.

Enemies are companies like red bull. They only use football for making money.

Without money football doesn't work.

But it is important that people stand together and use their influence to empasize the meaning of traditions and the interest of the reals supporters.

Ultra means not to use football for violence, hooligans and political action.
That is defitive not right!

This was the choreograophic action before the match against Aachen to celebrate the ten years anniversary of Commando Cannstatt.

Hallo Cannstatter Kurve,

es ist soweit. Das Commando Cannstatt hat die Dekade erreicht. Wir drehen die zehnte Episode eines Films, der im März 1997 als Amateuraufnahme ohne Drehbuch begann und inzwischen unter der Regie von Generationen VfB-Abhängiger zu einem Blockbuster in Stuttgart geworden ist. 10 Kalenderjahre voller Emotionen und Leidenschaft liegen hinter uns, in denen wir zusammen mit euch gefeiert und geträumt, gelitten und geweint, geliebt und gekämpft haben. Wir alle zusammen, die Cannstatter Kurve, haben großartige Auftritte hingelegt, aber auch peinliche Darbietungen gehabt, wir haben enorme Fortschritte gemacht, aber auch bittere Rückschläge einstecken müssen. Wir haben für Stuttgart gesungen und gefightet, protestiert und gehuldigt, triumphiert und verloren, gestritten und zusammengehalten. Gemeinsam haben wir eine Mitte der 90er-Jahre tote Fanszene wiederbelebt, einen damals fast aussichtslosen Kampf gekämpft, und Jahre später nicht für möglich gehaltene Ziele erreicht. Wir haben zusammen mit euch Geschichte geschrieben und die Cannstatter Kurve zu dem gemacht, was sie heute ist.

This picture was taken on the 28th of april.

The supporters club "boyz inferno" invited the supporters to their ten anniversary away bus.

The away drive was fantastic. It was great to see all people again and we had a great time together. It was like a family meeting.

Boyz inferno is one of the fan clubs who did much work to establish the Commando Cannstatt and to progress fanculture in Stuttgart.

Their Fanzine "follow the reds" is one of the best fanzines. For me it was one of the most interesting literature like the bible.
After I read this magazine I changed my life. I started groundhopping and became a member of Commando Cannstatt.

Thanx to boyz inferno!

From season 1998 I supported VfB on many away games. Especially on important games and european cup ties.

This picture was taken in Cottbus withe Fritzle the VfB-mascot.

Since 1999 my nick name in Stuttgart's Fanscene is Gallendieter.

Dieter comes from the dramaplayer Dieter Krebs.
And Gallen comes from Dieter Gall - a person's name.
After some scenes on a away bus all people used the name "Gallendieter"

This are pictures with the old flag on away games in Iceland, Berlin and Moscow.

In latest time the collage is not important any more. Between 1997 and 2000 I collected pictures like that.

This is also a collage of Commando Cannstatt.

Between 1997 and 2000 often pyromanic action on terraces happened.

Now it is strictly forbiddened.

Everyone who is cashed by the policed will be banned for minimum of two years.

Since that hard presecution pyromania increased to a minimum.
