The second consecutive away game, and the last of the season, is upon us. Once again on a Sunday (May 10th, 1:30pm), Darmstadt will be playing away – this time against SC Preußen Münster. Everything you need to know for your final away trip of the season to the LVM-Preußenstadion, about three and a half hours away, can be found here in the usual fan information section.
IMPORTANT: To use guest parking lots P1 and P2, parking tickets must be purchased in advance. This is only possible until Friday (May 8th) at 12 noon. Onlinet-Ticketshop
Arrival/Parking by Car, Van, and Coach:
If arriving by car from the north, south, or west, drive to the Münster South interchange. Then follow the bypass and turn towards Hammer Straße/Hiltrup. After about 1 kilometre on Hammer Straße, you will reach the Preußenstadion, which will be on your right. Turn right before the stadium onto Am Berg Fidel.
Alternatively, you can also take the A1 to the Hiltrup exit, then drive through Hiltrup towards Münster on Hammer Straße. Follow Hammer Straße to the stadium and turn left behind the stadium onto Am Berg Fidel. This route is usually less busy because it bypasses the city centre.
Parking:
Away fans arriving by car can park in the P1 and P2 guest parking lots. Buses and vans should use parking lot P4 directly at the away entrance. Away fans who park their cars in P1 or P2 should walk up the street „Am Berg Fidel“ towards P4. After about 150m, they can turn left onto P4 to reach the away fans‘ entrance.
IMPORTANT: Parking tickets for P1 and P2 must be purchased in advance at the SV Darmstadt 98 Online-Ticketshop. This is possible until Friday (May 8th) at 12 noon. Parking fees for P1 and P2: 10 euros.
By public transport:
If you are arriving by train, please get off at Münster Central Station and head towards the exit on Bahnhofstraße. There you can take bus lines 1, 5, and 9, which run directly from the station forecourt to the stadium.
Stadium Opening: The entrance to the away section and the away ticket office will open 120 minutes before kickoff. On Sunday, this will be at 11:30am.
Away Section: The away section comprises Block G – Standing (standing) and Block G – Seated (seated).
Away Entrance: Access is via the away entrance P4.
Ticket Office: There will be a ticket office in Münster, opening at 11:30am, the same time as the stadium.
Food and Drink: The new kiosks in the concourse of the West Stand will be available in the away section. Only card payments are accepted at all food and drink stands in the away section!
Contact Point: If anyone in the stadium finds themselves in an uncomfortable situation, they can ask any staff member – whether bartender, security, or stadium attendant – „Is Luisa here?“ and will receive immediate and discreet assistance. The woman then decides for herself which form of assistance she wants to use, e.g. calling a taxi or friends.
The following fan paraphernalia are generally permitted in Münster:
There's a lot going on at the Bölle. The 98th Darmstadt baby of 2026, along with their family, visited the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor, and they weren't the only ones. Where else the Bölle gang has ended up, and many more news items about the club, can be found here in our "Lilies Across the Board" section, as every Wednesday.
SV Darmstadt 98 informed all season ticket holders about the season ticket procedure for the 2026/27 season on Wednesday (May 6th) and would also like to share this letter on the club's own website.
Autographs, photos, and personal encounters with the Lilies: You'll have the opportunity to do so on Thursday (May 7th) from 5pm to 6pm. As part of an autograph session presented by Merck, Patric Pfeiffer, Kai Klefisch, and Fynn Lakenmacher will be at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. You'll also receive a ten percent discount in the fan shop during this time.
Darmstadt's 2-1 defeat at Karlsruher SC also ended any remaining theoretical hopes the South Hessian club had of finishing the season in the top three. The loss at the Wildpark stadium served somewhat as a symbol for the past few weeks, during which SV 98 had only managed one point from five matches since the international break in March. Following the game on Sunday afternoon, the Darmstadt players addressed the assembled media representatives with mixed feelings.
Three points! SV Darmstadt 98's U21 team secured a victory in the Lotto Hessenliga on Saturday afternoon (May 2nd). In their match against Hünfelder SV, the young Lilies overcame an early deficit to clinch a convincing 3-1 win. This result puts the U21 team currently outside the relegation zone. "Our trend is clearly upward," said a delighted U21 coach Sebastian Schmitt.
The successful collaboration between the Hessian Disabled and Rehabilitation Sports Association (HBRS) and SV Darmstadt 98 will continue long-term: Both partners have extended their existing agreement to promote inclusive sports indefinitely. This sends a clear signal for the sustainable development of inclusion and disability sports in Hesse.
A bitter end in Karlsruhe: After 90 entertaining minutes in which both teams sought salvation in attack, Darmstadt suffered a narrow defeat. The final score was 2-1 after a late goal from the home side, following Isac Lidberg's earlier equaliser. After the match, the players were particularly frustrated with the missed opportunities in the first half.
The away form continues to be poor: SV 98 suffered a 2-1 (0-0) defeat against Karlsruher SC. Lidberg scored the equaliser for the team from southern Hesse in the 70th minute.
Darmstadt 98 visit Karlsruher SC on matchday 32 (May 3rd, 1:30 PM). Florian Kohfeldt has made five changes to his starting lineup. Killian Corredor replaces the injured Fraser Hornby, Aleksandar Vukotic comes in for the suspended Patric Pfeiffer, and Fabian Holland starts in place of Matej Maglica, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. Merveille Papela and Niklas Schmidt also join the team, replacing Sergio Lopez and Yosuke Furukawa. In addition to Hornby, Pfeiffer, and Maglica, Darmstadt will also be without the injured Matthias Bader, Fabian Nürnberger, and Luca Marseiler.
Finally, the weekend is here, finally Sunday! On Sunday afternoon (May 3rd, 1:30pm), SV Darmstadt 98 will face Karlsruher SC away. What do the two coaches have to say about the match, who will be refereeing, and where can you watch it if you're not at the stadium? All the important information about the Lilies' 32nd matchday is compiled for you here in "Matchday Guide".
Continuity in sporting management: SV Darmstadt 98 has extended Paul Fernie's contract early and for the long term. As part of the contract extension, the current sporting director will move into the club's management board and will now serve as managing director of sport.
Our head coach spoke at the press conference before the away game against Karlsruher SC (May 3rd/1:30pm) about the mental freshness of his team, the course of action for the remaining games and his coaching colleague, whose commitment to KSC will end after six years this season.
