The Heidenheim Chronicle
The terraces24 Jan 2028
Anger at Heidenheim spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.
Boardroom24 Jan 2028
Pressure builds in the Heidenheim boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.
Match22 Jan 2028
No end in sight to Heidenheim's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Heidenheim has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad24 Jan 2028
Budu Zivzivadze 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.

A muscle injury sidelines Tim Siersleben for 16 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Heidenheim will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.
Squad24 Jan 2028
Words at Heidenheim training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tyrell Malacia is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Frank Graf steps up from the Heidenheim academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Frank Graf has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Ralf Lang steps up from the Heidenheim academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ralf Lang has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Christian Wolff joins the Heidenheim first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Christian Wolff is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Heidenheim promote Oliver Becker from within
- Squad The manager makes an example of Julian Niehues
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Mathias Honsak
