Mister Gapthe romantic sentence comes from them: “You are born in a club and died one day.” Is that really a lifelong love between Arminia and you?
The beginning was a bit bumpy. As a child, I played handball at the local competitor TuS Eintracht Bielefeld Bielefeld, and I was able to follow up close how the Arminia was wildered at the Eintracht in the football department. The best players grew up, one even got a moped for the change. I didn’t find it so good.
How are you still for Arminia-Fan has become?
I was classically socialized: my father and my grandpa took me to the stadium, on the south stands. At the end of the 1960s and early 1970s. The 1-0 victory against FC Bayern on October 3, 1970, for example, that was a century game. In addition, one of the greatest Arminen of this time lived on our street: goalkeeper Gerd Siese, in the main profession painter, who often drove to training in white dungarees. Siese was my hero.
To person
Ingolf Lück, born in Bielefeld in 1958, is an actor and comedian. In his hometown he studied German studies, philosophy and pedagogy-and jointly attended lectures with the Arminia professional Ewald Lienen. Lück appeared on small theater stages during his studies. He became known to a larger audience from 1985 when he took over the moderation of the ARD music program “Formula one”. In the following years, Lück moderated numerous shows and toured the country with his own comedy programs. At the moment he works as a theater actor again
They were handball players.
Yes, yes. But I also played football with my friends – and I was always a goalkeeper.
A good one?
Well, the bones hurt my handball early on. As a circular runner, you often slam on the hall floor. My left knee is still deaf of the many falls today.
Being able to endure pain seems to be a basic requirement for an Arminia fan: eight times is Bielefeld Deleted out of the first division, only the 1. FC Nürnberg had to go down more often.
That’s right, but these hell trips only welded Arminia fans closer together. It is very easy to be a Bavaria fan, there is little to suffer. As a armine, on the other hand, you are always sent to hard exams. The Arminia is like real life. You have to be able to take it.
I envy people who can get into the beauty of a game
Which descent was the worst?
2014, the relegation against Darmstadt. We win 3-1 away and then lose 2: 4 at home. After the final whistle it was dead. 27,000 people in the stadium under shock. It was ghostly. Boah, I still run my back cold today when I think about it.
Have you made the many painful moments more robust?
On the contrary. I envy people who can get into the beauty of a game. For me it is the best moment when the referee whistles and we won. Then nothing can happen. This is a redemption every time. The 90 minutes before: often a pain, hope and pray that things are going well.
In addition to the musician Casper and Kevin Kühnert, they are probably the most prominent Arminia fan. The association donates them to them VIP-Tickets for home games?
The gateway to the grandstand would certainly be open to me, but I don’t want to go there.
Why not?
When people see that the gück is there and the team loses, it says: Lück is a bird of epidemic, it only brings us bad luck.
Are you superstitious?
I keep it with Caterina Valente, who once said: I am not superstitious because it only brings misfortune.
Do you have certain rituals when visiting the stadium?
Bratwurst and Cola Zero.
You discover feelings that have been buried for years
This season, the Arminia seems to be kissed from happiness: the team is in the second division in summer and is in the DFB Cup final this Saturday-the first third-class team for 24 years. How do you endure so much success as a armine?
Sometimes I wonder: is that all real? Or is that a dream? You discover wonderful feelings that have been buried for years.
Will you be in the Berlin Olympic Stadium when Bielefeld plays against VfB Stuttgart in the cup final?
I am a member of the Arminia Supporters and luckily I got a card. Before that, I tried it on the DFB ticket portal, with four or five cell phones and computers in parallel, but I already failed at the log-in. No wonder if 1.6 million people want a ticket at the same time.
Who will accompany you at the cup final?
I got myself with my buddy Guido Cantz (TV presenter and comedian, note of the editorial team) An appointment for a meeting after the final whistle. Guido was born in Cologne, but still glowing VfB fan. I offered him my strong shoulder, which he can lean on if the Arminen stretch the trophy in the evening.
