Assoziale Schwaben! Hertha fans deploy this sharp put-down at any opponent even loosely linked to south-west Germany. No punches pulled - classic Berlin bluntness on the terraces. Anti chants blau weiss at their most direct. Loud and proud if you know the words.
Lyrics for Assoziale Schwaben
Ihr seid Schwaben,
Assoziale Schwaben,
Ihr schlaft unter Bruecken,
Oder in der Bahnhofsmission...
Read it in English
You are Swabians,
Anti social Swabians,
You sleep under bridges,
Or in the stations...

Behind the chant
What's the story behind Assoziale Schwaben?
'Schwaben' is Berlin slang for south German incomers stereotyped as aloof or out of touch. In Berlin culture the word carries its own distinct sting.
