Abstract

This study investigates the role of public administration in the development and implementation of effective security measures in German football stadiums. Using a qualitative research approach, the study combines an extensive literature review with an analysis of existing security concepts. Key factors such as legal frameworks, cooperation between authorities, and preventive measures are examined. The findings reveal that security challenges stem from tensions between fans, particularly Ultras, and law enforcement, as well as inconsistent regulations across federal states. Best practices, such as stadium alliances and international cooperation during UEFA EURO 2024, demonstrate the potential for improved security strategies. However, concerns remain regarding the balance between security measures and civil rights, particularly in relation to data collection on violent offenders. The study concludes that a stronger focus on preventive measures, stakeholder cooperation, and transparent communication is essential for enhancing stadium security.
