In April of this year, the Fußballförderverein Druckeria Deutschland e.V. was officially established, an NGO-type association created by our supporters in Germany in order to support the activity of the Timişoara Polytechnic. Specifically, fans in this country and beyond can donate money to the account of the association whose primary objective is to support the activity of the white-purple center for children and juniors.
Police supporters in Germany have been active in various circles for more than six years. And the supporters of the Polytechnic are already familiar with the activity of Druckeria 360, through which our fans from abroad have engaged in supporting projects necessary to carry out the club’s activity in the best conditions. Druckeria Deutschland, the new structure, acts as a subsidiary of it and was formed with “comma” compliance with German law, being a transparent way to help the club much loved by the people of Banat in the area and not just them.
The initiators of the new NGO are Timisoara residents who have since settled in the area of Karlsruhe, twinned with our city. “We want to attract people who live in Germany and have an interest in supporting the club.… We are not allowed here to form an association that supports professional football, so we set up this association to support youth football. We thought that we could support the Center for children and juniors in this way, in order to bring a little extra or to give a helping hand to the training of the young football players of the Polytechnic. We can’t send money directly, a certain amount, we have projects, we are in contact with people in management, with Sebastian Novovic and Marius Adam, and, depending on our needs, we will try to contribute to the smooth running of things… For example, if you need training materials (fences, balls, sports equipment, etc.). This is our first goal (…) The second goal is to be able to talk to different clubs in our area. We live in Karlsruhe, we want to promote the Polytechnic in the area and facilitate, for example, the participation of the team in various tournaments. Or, to organize a tour in Timisoara and we to bring teams from Germany, which also have children’s centers. We want to gradually advance to this level as well. And the third goal is to contribute to the Christmas Action of Druckeria “, said Richard Daniel Scheel, President of Druckeria Germany.

The membership card is obtained by paying the annual fee of 19.21 euros. Currently the association is at the beginning, seven people are founding members, but the growth potential is very high, taking into account maybe thousands of Banatians, Poli fans, located in Germany, but also the constant support received in our initiatives from Borussia fans Monchengladbach. “Most of them are from Timisoara or Poli supporters and I hope that many Gladbach supporters will come too… I hope that more people from abroad will get involved through this association. We try to help as much as we can, as much time as we can (…) We want to do more projects and focus on donations. If a private person or a company from Germany donates a certain amount of money, here they can deduct from their taxes, make an income statement and then receive the money back from the state. Because they will receive from us a form, which specifies the amount of money, the fact that it was a donation “, stated” Ricky “. He has a similar story to other supporters who went abroad and stayed close to Poli. In Timisoara he attended Lenau High School, was a student at the Polytechnic University and was not absent from the white-violet lawn. “My family, my parents, live in Romania, although we are all Romanian citizens of German nationality. I was one of the first members of Druckeria, I left for Germany in 2013, where I live with my wife, also from Timisoara “, added Richard Scheel (main photo, center).
