Julian Nagelsmann has just set out to console. The coach of the German national soccer team walks onto the field from the sidelines, accompanied by assistant coach Sandro Wagner. 0:2 against Austria, a “Watschn” for the DFB. In the Ernst Happel Stadium, the home team celebrates with their fans, Gigi D’Agostino blares from the loudspeakers. “L’amour Toujours”, a love song by the Italian DJ, first released in October 2001 and particularly popular in nightclubs late at night.
Videos of this unspectacular scene can be found in large quantities on the social platform “TikTok”. “Do the Austrians really celebrate with our village festival song?” writes one user. “They’re seriously playing the anthem,” another. Hundreds of videos with the song as a soundtrack have been posted since mid-November. Usually titled “The New Anthem” or “You don’t know how hard it is not to sing along.” Not only more relevant profiles.
The origin lies in Berghholz, a small town with 418 inhabitants in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. There were incidents at a harvest festival there that are now also a concern for state security.
In a video clip, men in particular can be seen repeatedly shouting “Germany for the Germans, foreigners out” to the song “L’amour toujours” by Gigi D’Agostino. Without shame, in the middle of the dance floor. Some of the people have already been identified, the police said.
The mayor of the community, Ulrich Kersten, told the “Nordkurier” that he was not aware of the video. He left the event around 11 p.m. He recognized people on the recording. “If I had still been there at the time, I would have gone up to the stage and had the music played,” he told the newspaper.
The rapper Fler also has to be annoyed: the soundtrack has now been placed under a video of the musician’s concert. This gives the impression that the slogans were spoken during one of his appearances. He announced legal action. The state security agency is investigating on suspicion of incitement to hatred.
