Most hated and loved team in Germany. I was stationed there very recently and I lived in Wiesbaden which had a second division side (Mainz was very close by as well) and Kaiserslautern who was relegated. Most of the Germans I knew hated Munich (but loved the players come the World Cup).
I have friends over there who are big fans of 1. FC Nürnberg. Of course they hate Bayern München. I tried to share with them some interest in 1.FC in the mid 90s when Joe-Max Moore played there, but never got into it. Nürnberg has also been relegated so they will be playing K-town in the 2. Bundesliga this season.
I was stationed for while in Herzogenaurach, which is near Nürnberg. Herzo is also the birthplace of both Adidas and Puma and the town where Lothar Matthäus played his youth football (for the Puma sponsored club).
