On the weekend of 21 and 22 April 2012, several members as well as football fans of the right-wing milieu attacked guests of the pub called “Hirsch-Q” in Dortmund, which takes a clear position against members of the right-wing milieu. First the offenders gathered in front of the pub and underlined their right-wing sympathies by shouting slogans like “SS, SA, Borussia” and “Scheiß Antifa”. The persons further wore clothes of the brand “Thor Steinar”, which is known as a characteristic feature of the neo-Nazi scene, as well as clothes of the hooligan band “Kategorie C”.

The perpetrators were armed with wooden slats, bottles, etc. Three guests were slightly injured by the attack. After the police arrived, the offenders could escape. Although the perpetrators could not be caught yet, they could be identified as fans of the soccer team BVB (Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e. V. Dortmund) with right-wing sympathies according to the slogans they shouted and the clothes they wore.
