"The South Tyrolean football fans are basically divided into two camps. Some follow Serie A, while others have always rooted for the big Bundesliga clubs. The Bavarian mentality is just closer to our hearts."
"The history of the fan club began in 2007. Many Bayern fans from Kaltern were still members of a fan club in Bolzano back then. When the club disbanded, some like-minded fans saw an opportunity. The idea of our own fan club in Kaltern had been floating around for some time."
"On 12 December 2007, the time had come. Founding president Manfred Pernthaler, his then deputy Tobias Gutmorgeth - now the president of the club - and six other Bayern fans officially launched the Weinbeisser. The name is no coincidence. We were looking for something that suited our roots."
The Weinbeisser Kaltern fan club, based in a South Tyrolean wine village, comprises approximately 350 members who share a passion for FC Bayern. Founded in 2007 after a Bolzano fan club disbanded, the club emerged from the desire of local Bayern supporters to create their own organization rooted in their community. Andreas Steinmann, a club member, explains that South Tyrolean football fans typically divide between Serie A followers and Bundesliga supporters, with the Bavarian mentality resonating strongly with locals. The fan club has maintained decades-long traditions of traveling to Bayern matches, primarily via the Brenner pass to Munich. As Bayern prepares for their Champions League round of 16 first leg against Atalanta in Bergamo, these dedicated fans provide guidance for traveling supporters.
