The burning of the aforementioned pyrotechnic objects is categorically prohibited at soccer matches without exception! The risk of serious injuries such as burns, hearing damage or blast trauma is very high.

Bengal fire can generate temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Celsius, which can lead to burns even without direct contact with the flare.

Inhaling smoke fumes from a smoking pot is harmful to health.

The glaring light of a flare can cause massive glare to the eyes.

The effect of pyrotechnics (massive heat, strong smoke development, explosion effect) cannot be controlled. Especially in a crowd like in a stadium, there is a high risk of an uncontrollable situation arising. Even the slightest breeze or being jostled by other people can have a fatal effect.

The mere carrying of such objects therefore leads to police action being taken against the owner and must be refrained from at all costs.

In any case, setting off pyrotechnics is an administrative offense that can be punished with a fine of up to 10,000 euros. If a person is injured or the stadium equipment is damaged, criminal offenses such as grievous bodily harm or damage to property are possible, which are punished much more severely and result in civil claims for damages and compensation for pain and suffering.
