Scheisse! recounts the extraordinary story of Union Berlin, the German Bundesliga’s most spirited football club, interwoven with a witty history of contemporary Berlin.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2023 (FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR)

––––––––––––

A club on the rise. A city in flux. This is Union Berlin.

No football club in the world has fans like 1. FC Union Berlin. The underdogs from East Berlin have stuck it to the Stasi, built their own stadium and even given blood to save their club. But now they face a new and terrifying prospect: success.

Scheisse! tells the human stories behind the unexpected rise of this unique football club. But it’s about more than just football. It’s about the city Union call home. As the club fights to maintain their rebel spirit among the modern football elite, their trajectory mirrors that of contemporary Berlin itself: from divided Cold War battleground to European capital of cool.

Scheisse! will appeal to readers who are captivated by sports biographies such as Raphael Honigstein's Das Reboot and social history like John Kampfner's Why The Germans Do It Better.

Kit Holden is a British-German author and journalist who lives and works in Berlin. He covers German news and sport for Agence France-Presse, The Athletic, Die Zeit and others. He writes regularly on Union Berlin for Der Tagesspiegel.
