The Invisible Wall

Die unsichtbare Wand: a BVB community proving You Will Never Walk Alone in the struggles of mental health.

About Us

Die unsichtbare Wand (the invisible wall) is a fan community that has been created to connect fans of Borussia Dortmund who need support with their mental health.

Three BVB fans, Derek (America), Jan (Germany) and Sarah (United Kingdom) came together after tweeting about their own opinions on mental health. From this chance online meeting, Die unsichtbare Wand was formed.

The aim of this community is to bring people together, in a space where it is safe to talk about mental health. All three of the founders have had their own mental health journey.

They are united in their love of BVB, and also their desire to encourage everyone to talk about their mental health, particularly, but not exclusively men.

Mental health in sport, particularly football, is something that is not often spoken about. Die unsichtbare Wand aims to change that, to prove that

You’ll Never Walk Alone.
