history

VfR and VfL Heidenheim

Club emblem of the Heidenheimer Sportbund

The 1934/35 season was the first high point in the history of Heidenheim football. It was not until 2020 that Heidenheim footballers were so close to making the leap to first class again. The team of VfR 1911 Heidenheim qualified for the promotion round to Gauliga Württemberg, which was not formed until 1933 . But in the round with six participating teams, VfR ended up in last place with 7:13 points, level on points with VfB Friedrichshafen , but four points behind the second promoted FV Zuffenhausen and far behind the sovereign winner of the promotion round, the SpVgg Cannstatt .

Despite the fact that the second division in southwest German football was split up into many small leagues, footballers from Heidenheim did not initially play higher class after the Second World War . It was not until 1955 that they were promoted to the highest amateur league, the Württemberg Amateur League . In the then third-class league, VfL Heidenheim was able to establish itself after a 15th place in the first season and landed in 1958/59 in sixth for the first time in a single-digit table position. In 1960, the Württemberg amateur league was divided, and VfL immediately played in the Northern Württemberg amateur league. There he was mostly placed in midfield. Until the merger in 1972, two sixth places (1963/64 and 1971/72) were the best placings, and twelfth place in 1967/68 the worst.

Heidenheimer SB

After the merger with the TSB, whose footballers played a league lower, the team, now known as Heidenheimer SB, stayed in the amateur league for three seasons before relegating in 1975. In the same season, Heidenheim's footballers were also in the DFB Cup for the first time . In the first main round in 1975 , she met the Berlin city division team Hertha Zehlendorf . After a 2-2 draw in the first leg, there was a clear 5-0 defeat in the replay.

The descent could be corrected immediately. The SB immediately rose again and took off with the ascent swing. As a newcomer, the SB was runner-up and barely missed the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga . Thanks to the fourth place in the following season, the Heidenheimer SB qualified for the newly founded amateur league Baden-Württemberg . In the same season, the team from Heidenheim was allowed to start again in the DFB Cup, but the first main round ended again : against the second division club FK Pirmasens, the SB lost 2-1.

The amateur league turned out to be too big for the sports association. As 18th of 20 clubs, they rose to the fourth division of the association league. Only the DFB-Pokal provided a big moment when the professionals from Hertha BSC came to Heidenheim in the first main round and won 4-0. For 25 years, the SB shuttled between the association and regional leagues before returning to the fourth-class amateur league in Baden-Württemberg in 2003/04. In the 2003/04 season, HSB came second behind Normannia Gmünd in the Württemberg Association League and was able to prevail in the relegation against the Offenburg FV after they had failed in the relegation against the second team of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim the year before . In contrast to the first foray into the league, the SB immediately played a good role in the league. In the 2004/05 season they took 5th place and reached the final in the WFV Cup , which was, however, lost to the Stuttgarter Kickers with 1: 3. The 2005/06 season was even more successful, in which HSB was runner-up and only just missed promotion to the Regionalliga Süd by four points behind SSV Reutlingen 05 . And in the 2006/07 season they played for a long time for promotion to the regional league. Third place was achieved in the end. 75:36 goals and 72 points were recorded here. Master SV Sandhausen had five points more on the account.

1. FC Heidenheim

During 2007, the football department decided to split off from Heidenheimer SB as a legally independent club with retroactive effect from January 1, 2007. The 1. FC took over the existing sporting and other structures of the Heidenheimer SB, including the starting positions for the respective teams. The separation had become necessary because the entire club could hardly meet requirements in the licensing procedure of the DFB for the desired regional league. In particular, the demands to check the economic performance of the association overwhelmed the voluntary structures of the other departments. In 2008, Heidenheimer managed to move up to the Regionalliga Süd as fourth in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. In addition, the team succeeded in winning the WFV Cup and thus making it into the first main round of the DFB Cup. In this one was defeated by the later German champions VfL Wolfsburg with 0: 3 (0: 0).

Participation in the DFB-Pokal main round in 2009 was missed after a defeat in the semi-finals of the WFV Cup against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach , but the team managed to get up on the penultimate matchday (victory over Karlsruher SC II ) thanks to a strong second half in the 3rd division .

1. FC Heidenheim played its first third division game on July 25, 2009 against Wuppertaler SV Borussia in the local GAGFAH Arena. The game ended 2-2. At the end of the first third division season, Heidenheim surprisingly finished 6th in the table with 59 points. On May 11, 2011, the team managed to win the WFV Cup for the third time and thus participate in the DFB Cup main round. SV Werder Bremen was drawn as opponents in the first round . This was surprisingly beaten 2-1 on July 30, 2011. In the second round, FC Heidenheim met Borussia Mönchengladbach on October 25th . Only in the penalty shootout could the Bundesliga team win the game 4: 3 (0: 0 afterwards). This was the greatest success of a Heidenheim soccer team in the DFB Cup to date. The 2011/12 season ended with fourth place in the table and thus participation in the DFB Cup main round. On May 9, 2012, they won the WFV Cup for the fourth time against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach.

Also in the 2012/13 season, FC Heidenheim failed very close to being promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga. Before the last game day, the FCH was in relegation place 3. Despite another defeat and the final fifth place, they played the best season in the club's history with 72 points. The WFV-Pokal was defended by a 3-1 win against the Neckarsulmer SU and won again in 2014 with a 4-2 win over the Stuttgarter Kickers .

On April 19, 2014 1. FC Heidenheim sealed their direct promotion to the 2. Bundesliga with a 1-1 draw against SV Elversberg on the 35th matchday of the 2013/14 season . The season ended on May 10, 2014 with a 2-0 home win against SpVgg Unterhaching and the championship title of the 3rd division.

In the first second division game in the club's history, the 1st FCH defeated FSV Frankfurt 2-1 on August 3, 2014 in front of 11,000 spectators in the Voith-Arena and took second place in the matchday table. On August 19, 2014, the team pulled through the 2-1 home win against 1. FC Union Berlin for the second time in the club's history in the second round of the DFB Cup, in which they lost 4-1 to VfL Wolfsburg . The first season in the second division she finished eighth in the table.

The second season in the lower house (2015/16) ended the FCH with 45 points in eleventh place in the table without having been involved in the relegation battle. In addition to the relegation achieved again, the club now also played a bigger role in the DFB Cup. A 4-1 victory over FK Pirmasens was followed by the fact that they met league rivals SV Sandhausen in the second round . After a goalless 120 minutes, an exciting penalty shoot-out followed, which the FCH ultimately won 4: 3 with the decisive goal from Arne Feick. The next lot also led Frank Schmidt's team to a league competitor: In the round of 16, FCH defeated FC Erzgebirge Aue in the Erzgebirgsstadion with goals from Arne Feick and Marc Schnatterer 2-0 and thus made it into the quarter-finals of the DFB for the first time in the club's history. Cup. There, on February 10, 2016, Bundesliga club Hertha BSC made a guest appearance in the Voith-Arena, which the Heidenheim team had to admit defeat 1: 4.

On the fourth match day of the following season 2016/17, 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 celebrated a historic 2-1 victory in the league game against Swabian rivals VfB Stuttgart in front of a record crowd of 52,200 spectators in the Mercedes-Benz Arena . At the end of the season, the Heidenheimers found themselves in sixth place in the table, mainly thanks to a strong first half of the season.

In the 2017/18 season , Frank Schmidt's team got off to a false start and after ten games were in relegation position 16 with eight points. As the season progressed, the FCH stabilized and worked its way into midfield in the table. In the DFB Cup , after two victories against SpVgg Unterhaching (4: 0) and SSV Jahn Regensburg (5: 2) , they failed in the round of 16 at the later cup winners Eintracht Frankfurt (1: 2). Until the end of the round, the FCH fought to stay in the league, also because of an extremely tight and even table situation in the lower house, and achieved it after a 1-1 draw against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on matchday 34.

After a mixed start to the 2018/19 season , the team stayed connected to the relegation place until the middle of the second half of the season . The FCH ended the season in fifth place in the table, which means the club's best placement in the 2nd Bundesliga to date.

A year later, on the penultimate match day, the FCH won the relegation place in a direct duel against Hamburger SV and was then able to defend it thanks to the defeat of HSV. Thus, the FCH reached the relegation against the 16th of the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen and thus had for the first time in its history the chance to move up to the 1st Bundesliga. In the away game, Heidenheim scored 0-0. After a 2-2 home game, Heidenheim missed promotion to the Bundesliga because of the away goal rule . As a result, some top performers among the players are likely to move to other clubs.

Well-known former players

Second team and youth

1. FC Heidenheim 1846 II played in Season II of the Württemberg State League until 2010 . On the last day of the 2009/10 season, he was promoted to the Württemberg Association League , and on the last day of the 2012/13 season in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg . The games usually took place on the artificial turf above the Voith Arena . The coach of the league team was Wolfram Eitel. After the 2013/14 season, the second team was canceled from the game.

On April 26, 2015, the Heidenheim U-19 team won the championship in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg and thus promoted to the top division, the U-19 Bundesliga . The team immediately dismounted. A year later, both the U17 and the U19 of the FCH rose to the top youth division and both managed to stay in the league in the first year. In the following year, the U19 of the FCH again held the class and played for relegation in the top division of the U19. The U17s, however, relegated just behind SpVgg Unterhaching on the last match day and played in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in the 2019/20 season.

Stadion

The home stadium is the Voith-Arena, the former Albstadion on the Schlossberg, not far from Hellenstein Castle . There is currently space for 15,000 spectators in the arena.

The conversion into a football arena had been planned for a long time. After the last day of the 2008/09 season, the renovation began. The total cost was around 14.1 million euros, of which the main user, 1. FC Heidenheim, contributed 2.8 million. The stadium was named after the real estate company Gagfah . In February 2011 the Heidenheim-based mechanical engineering group Voith acquired the naming rights. This is why the stadium has been called the Voith Arena ever since . In the course of completion, the athletics facilities of the Heidenheimer SB were relocated to the new Sparkassen-Sportpark.

On April 4, 2019, the association announced that the Voith-Arena had been bought for two million euros from the previous owner, the city of Heidenheim an der Brenz . This was partly due to the income from the DFB-Pokal 2018/19 , in which one reached the quarter-finals.

The Voith Arena is also the highest stadium (555 meters above sea ​​level ) in German professional football.
