Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Robert Zimmermann is out at Heidenheim

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Squad2 Aug 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gregor Stein

20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Heidenheim lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market2 Aug 2027

Tim Lemperle hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Heidenheim can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Hans Günther minds the shop at Heidenheim

“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Hans Günther recited it perfectly.

Market2 Aug 2027

Eyes on Stefan Schimmer again

The phone has started ringing about Stefan Schimmer again, and this time the name on the line is FC Augsburg. Heidenheim are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Marnon Busch has been here 9 seasons

350 appearances across 9 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

Door shut on Thomas Henry

Heidenheim asked and Lecce said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Heidenheim pay $174.1K to end Robert Zimmermann's contract

The bill for the sacking has arrived. Robert Zimmermann leaves with $174.1K for the time left on his deal, and that money buys the club nothing it can put on the pitch.

The dugout2 Aug 2027

A fresh start for Tim Lemperle under the new man

Nothing resets a career like somebody arriving who did not pick the side last season. Tim Lemperle has taken the hint, and Heidenheim are getting a version of him the previous regime had stopped seeing.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad26 Jul 2027

The knee: Gregor Stein out for 28 days

28 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Heidenheim lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market26 Jul 2027

Stefan Schimmer puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Heidenheim, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market26 Jul 2027

SC Paderborn come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Heidenheim did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Door shut on Florián Monzón

Heidenheim asked and Hamburger SV said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad26 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Heidenheim

Michael Heule and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Loan watch26 Jul 2027

Frank Feller wants to come home

“I did not go to Cercle Brugge to sit and watch. I want to come back to Heidenheim and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Heidenheim try to borrow Thomas Henry

Lecce have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

Adrian Beck knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Heidenheim, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market26 Jul 2027

The Marvin Pieringer question follows Heidenheim around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Marvin Pieringer’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The terraces19 Jul 2027

Supporters organise against the Heidenheim board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad19 Jul 2027

20 days out for Julian Niehues after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Heidenheim will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad19 Jul 2027

The knee: Gregor Stein out for 36 days

36 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Heidenheim lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market19 Jul 2027

Borussia Mönchengladbach come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Heidenheim did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market19 Jul 2027

Christian Conteh asks to leave Heidenheim

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Heidenheim

Leopold Zingerle and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Heidenheim rebuffed over Youssouph Badji

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. AGF have kept their man, and Heidenheim go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market19 Jul 2027

The shop window has Stefan Schimmer in it

Heidenheim have let the market know Stefan Schimmer can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market19 Jul 2027

Tim Lemperle linked with a move away

The name of Tim Lemperle keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Heidenheim say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Tim Lemperle says Heidenheim went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Leopold Zingerle in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Heidenheim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Marnon Busch

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market16 Nov 2026

The Tim Lemperle question follows Heidenheim around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Tim Lemperle’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

A reunion for Leopold Zingerle

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against RB Leipzig in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Leonidas Stergiou knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Heidenheim, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Fabian Nürnberger has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Heidenheim that is a harder question to answer.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Stefan Schimmer has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Stefan Schimmer has written the date down.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

Looking ahead: the trip to RB Leipzig

Position 8 for the hosts, a long journey for the away end, and a fixture that will look ordinary on paper right up until it is not.

In brief
