The sociopolitical dedication of the SV Babelsberg 03 has its roots in the early 1990's, when the club was newly founded. After the wall came down, only a few viewers found their way to the Karl-Liebknecht-Stadion. As a result of the political and economical changes in Germany, empty houses were squatted, and at the time, Potsdam had one of the biggest communities of squatters in Germany. It was this community from which "Nordkurve Babelsberg", SV Babelsberg's biggest supporter group, emerged. Until today, the fan culture is open-minded and colourful. The two cornerstones – football and subculture – are still dominant for the club's self conception today. In the following years, as opposed to the at times rather xenophobic and anti-immigrant fan culture in Germany, the antiracist movement amongst supporters of SV Babelsberg 03 grew considerably. In 2015, for example, the antiracist festival „Der Ball ist Bunt“ (roughly translated as „the ball ist colourful“) has its 13-year-anniversary. Ever since refugees started arriving in Potsdam, supporters of SV Babelsberg have been closely in touch with them.
