Arnd Zeigler brings football nostalgia to Braunschweig – be there!

On September 3, 2025, Arnd Zeigler will come with his program “Always Happiness is Skill!” to Braunschweig. The presenter, author and football romantic brings a mixture of humor, nostalgia and exciting stories about football. The focus is primarily on his personal memories of Braunschweig Eintracht, which he presents in an emotional setting. “Football is a central part of many people’s lives,” says Zeigler, who also includes his own anecdotes that make you smile. He particularly remembers a 2-1 win against Eintracht in the Weserstadion, which shaped him.

What makes Braunschweig so special for Zeigler? “It is a football city with tradition and a great culture of cheering,” is how he describes the passion of the fans. During his performances, he expects the audience to celebrate football and remember emotional moments. For Zeigler, football is not just a game, but an attitude to life that brings people together.

A question of balance between skill and luck

In the world of professional football, Zeigler sees both skill and luck as crucial. As a head coach, he could imagine teaching his players that materialism and Instagram poses are only acceptable after a certain number of Bundesliga games. This humorous attitude seems to fit well with football culture, where laughter and serenity often go hand in hand with emotional moments. “A perfect football day for me includes an emotional victory, a relaxed stadium experience and social gatherings,” he reveals.

The relationship between fans and football is not just characterized by passion. For many, football serves as an outlet for everyday frustrations and as a space for social interactions. As the online platform bpb describes, football has a long tradition as a mass audience sport that brings people from different social classes together. This sociability and shared enthusiasm also promote the search for identity and exchange among one another.

Review and outlook

A podcast article also highlights the cult TV show “Zeigler's Wonderful World of Football”, in which Lars Rücker talks about special games that Werder Bremen had to play against Eintracht Braunschweig and VfL Wolfsburg. Nostalgic aspects of football are discussed here as well as the modern football business, which is sometimes questioned. Such discussions help to better understand fan culture and its challenges.

Zeigler himself not only brings old jerseys into his shows - he owns a nostalgic Jägermeister jersey from Ronnie Worm - but also brings portraits like that of curve mom Christel Neumann to life. These stories help create myths and strengthen the sense of community among fans who rally around their club to laugh and mourn together.

Braunschweig will be able to look forward to a special event on September 3rd that will reflect the importance of football in society. Humor, emotion and community are at the forefront, and Zeigler knows how to captivate his audience.
