Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

In 1994, he was transferred to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] for the fee of [[Deutsche Mark|DM]] 4.6&nbsp;million, where he played until the end of his career in 2008. His commanding presence in goal<ref name="guardian2002"/> and aggressive style earned him nicknames such as ''Der Titan'' ({{IPA|de|deːɐ̯ tiˈtaːn|}}, "The Titan") from the press and ''Vol-kahn-o'' ("volcano") from fans.<ref name="Many new challenges ahead">{{cite news|url=https://www.dfb.de/news/en/e-bundesliga/zur-ersten-seite/15576.html |title=Many new challenges ahead |publisher=[[German Football Association|DFB.de]] |date=2 September 2008 |access-date=20 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090303201029/https://www.dfb.de/news/en/e-bundesliga/zur-ersten-seite/15576.html |archive-date=3 March 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
Kahn is one of the most successful German players in recent history, having won eight [[List of German football champions|Bundesliga titles]], six [[DFB-Pokal]]s, the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in 1996, the [[UEFA Champions League]] and the [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]], both achieved in 2001.

At the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], Kahn became the only goalkeeper in the tournament's history to win the [[FIFA World Cup awards#Golden Ball|Golden Ball]]. Kahn placed fifth in both the [[IFFHS]] Best Goalkeeper of the 21st Century and Best Goalkeeper of the Past 25 Years elections.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/node/15469|title=Buffon best in the 21st Century|publisher=Football Italia|date=7 February 2012|access-date=13 August 2015|archive-date=8 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208120655/https://www.football-italia.net/node/15469|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/serie_a/juve/2013/01/17-295532/%C2%ABBuffon+miglior+portiere+degli+ultimi+25+anni%C2%BB?src=linksommario|title=Buffon miglior portiere degli ultimi 25 anni|publisher=Il Corriere dello Sport|language=it|date=17 January 2013|access-date=13 August 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924023343/http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/serie_a/juve/2013/01/17-295532/%C2%ABBuffon+miglior+portiere+degli+ultimi+25+anni%C2%BB?src=linksommario|archive-date=24 September 2015}}</ref>

From 1994 to 2006, Kahn was in the [[Germany national football team|Germany national team]], in which he played as a starter after the retirement of [[Andreas Köpke]], he was an unused member of the squad that won the [[UEFA Euro 1996|1996 UEFA European Championship]]. In the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], although Germany were not among the tournament favourites, Kahn's prowess, despite being injured, in goal was key to reaching the [[2002 FIFA World Cup Final|final]], where Germany lost 0–2 to [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]. Kahn made a mistake on Brazil's first goal; nonetheless, he received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament.<ref name="CNN_World"/>

 |Oliver Kahn was recently asked if there was anyone who could tell him what to do. 'Who can?' he mused. 'The only thing which engages me is what I can do to be successful.' In other words, nobody can tell Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Oliver Kahn what to do. He is, and always has been, alone with his obsession to become the master of his chosen art.
