HOW a conspiracy theory made it to the Bundesliga | Arminia Bielefeld

Спорт

Arminia Bielefeld are back in the Bundesliga! Which is quite an achievement given there's a long-running conspiracy theory in Germany that asserts the city of Bielefeld doesn't actually exist. It sounds crazy, but Kick off! reporter Max Merrill decided to check things out, just to be sure. While he was there, he let us know what to expect from the Bundesliga's newest team.

    DW Kick off! Too bad Wyoming doesn’t have a sports team, because that might’ve been cheaper to render than the “city” of Bielefeld. All you need is 100 people, some generic flat farmland, a few cows and that’s pretty much it.

    Always a soft spot for Arminia Bielefeld. As a Schalke fan from the U.S., they were the opponent of the only Schalke game I've seen live (in 1997). We stayed in the same hotel as Bielefeld and had breakfast with the team all around. Spoke to one of their players who was pretty surprised to learn we were only in Gelsenkirchen for the game. A great experience, hope they stay up.

Then there's the fact every army camp in Bielefeld was named after places in North Yorkshire. Catterick, Ripon, Redcar, Reeth etc Then theres PC69 which deserves a whole youtube channel to itself lol Oh and Bielefeld is a bloody awesome place to grow up and live, oerlinghausen is cool as well Quarry jumping there in the 90s was incredible.
