Einleitung
Football moves the masses - not only in Germany, but in all of Europe. Football is the number one sport in many european countries. The article does not focus on vieweing quotas, participation rates or the large-scale income generated by mediaand sponsorship deals, but instead on a rarely studied aspect: what makes a football match a site ofcollective memory? Which major events from european footballcreated common associations and emotions for a national group, or europeans as a whole? As a point of cristallization for national heritage the author descibes how football matches can make a contribution to the formation of a national or european identity. (gekürzt)
