German team spokesman on Twitter wrote: 'We were re-routed on our way to the stadium and are now in a safe area.
'We cannot say more at this moment.'
At tonight's press conference German FA official Reiner Rauball was asked by a reporter of the German team were the terror threat’s target.
He said: 'We’re not sure if they were the main target. We cannot say yet how this will affect the coming matches.'
Mr Pistorius added: 'We cannot confirm yet that there were explosives in any ambulance.'
Prior to tonight's fixture ​Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger withdrew from playing in the friendly following the terror attacks in Paris on Friday night.
Security services told German news agency DPA the threat came from Islamists.
Hanover Police President Volker Kluwe told state broadcaster ARD that authorities had taken seriously indications of a planned attack with explosives, but did not elaborate further.
