The Heidenheim Chronicle
The terraces24 May 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.

88 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.

Words exchanged at Heidenheim
Patrick Mainka 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.

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.
Market24 May 2027
Omar Traoré placed on the list
Heidenheim have made Omar Traoré available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
Market24 May 2027
Heidenheim and Yannik Wagner are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
Loan watch24 May 2027
Frank Feller’s loan is measured in nothing happening
4 clean sheets from 12 appearances at Admira Wacker. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.
Loan watch24 May 2027
Fortuna Düsseldorf cannot leave Luca Kerber out
14 starts and an average of 6.69. He went there to play and he is playing, which is the only thing a loan was ever for.

Tim Lemperle keeps his manager's vote
The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Tim Lemperle plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.
In brief
- Squad Patrick Mainka is the talk of the training ground
