DFB Cup: VfB Lübeck meets traditional opponents!
The DFB Cup game between VfB Lübeck and VfB Stuttgart is taking place today in the exciting football landscape of Schleswig-Holstein. It is expected to be an exciting duel that will test both old rivalries and the passion of the fans in one of the few club-owned stadiums in the state - the Lohmühle. The stadium, which is not only the home stadium of VfB Lübeck, can accommodate around 9,500 spectators and has already been the scene of impressive encounters, including a legendary DFB Cup game between TuS Hoisdorf and FC Bayern Munich in 1988, where 20,000 spectators were in attendance. This game made the Lohmühle go down in the history books, as did Hamburger SV's UI Cup games in 1999, when they had to play here due to renovations at the Volksparkstadion, and the DFB League Cup games in the early 2000s.
The history of VfB Lübeck and its home is rich in events. In 2011, FC St. Pauli also had to play its home games here due to DFB sanctions. These experiences show that the Lohmühle plays a central role in northern German football. Despite the renovations that have taken place over the years and the overall capacity reduced, the atmosphere in the stadium remains unforgettable, especially when it comes to important games like today.
VfB Stuttgart on the rise
On the other side of the pitch is VfB Stuttgart, a traditional club that was formed on April 2, 1912 from the merger of Stuttgarter FV and FC Krone Cannstatt. It has a remarkable history that spans more than a century. VfB has not only been able to celebrate success in the Bundesliga, but has also won the DFB Cup twice (1954, 1958) and has won several championships. Despite various ups and downs recently, including a setback with relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2015/16 season and a return to the Bundesliga as champions of the 2nd Bundesliga in 2016/17, the club seems to be on a positive path.
Last season was particularly successful: Stuttgart finished second in the Bundesliga and reached the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup, which raised the expectations of the fan base. The team is very ambitious, especially in the current 2024/25 season and would like to continue its performance. A key player who has caught the eye this season is Serhou Guirassy, who broke the record for most goals in a season for Stuttgart.
What awaits us today?
Fans of both clubs can look forward to an exciting game. The VfB Lübeck supporters in particular hope that their team can make optimal use of the support from the stands. On the other hand, VfB Stuttgart will do everything in its power to continue last season's success and win the DFB Cup again. Will the Lohmühle become the venue for another great evening of football? That's what's at stake today.
The historical significance and the passionate rivalry between the teams make this duel a real highlight in the German football calendar. Eyes are on the Lohmühle, where history could be written!
