On Sunday afternoon (08.12/1.30pm) SV Darmstadt 98 will be guests at Hamburger SV. In this message we provide you with all the important information for your visit to the Volksparkstadion.
Car/nine-seater:
Hamburger SV offers an exclusive guest parking space for our game on Sunday. This is located at the Bahrenfeld trotting track directly on Luruper Chaussee. According to the HSV, from there it is around a 20-minute walk via Luruper Chaussee and Stadionstraße to the guest entrance of the Volksparkstadion. An early arrival is recommended. The parking lot is recommended for cars and nine-seaters. The parking lot can be reached via the Bahrenfeld motorway exit on the A7.
Parking fee: There is a parking fee of €9.00 for cars and nine-seaters in all parking spaces
Important: This weekend the Elbe Tunnel will be completely closed due to construction work. The construction work ends on Sunday morning at 5am. All Lily fans who arrive by car on Friday or Saturday should drive into Hamburg via the Elbbrücken.
Buses:
Fan coaches: These are parked in the bus parking area on Schnackenburgallee.
Parking fee: Parking fees for coaches are €27.
Public transport:
From the “Othmarschen” S-Bahn station (barrier-free), free shuttle buses run to the stadium or to the stadium near the guest entrance approximately 2.5 hours before the start of the game. On Sunday from around 11 a.m.
The Othmarschen station can be reached from the main train station with the S1 S-Bahn line (green line). The last return journey back to Othmarschen starts approx. 90 minutes after the final whistle. The admission ticket allows you to travel there and back within the entire Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV) area, including the express bus.
A special S-Bahn will be available at Hamburg Central Station on Sunday for Lily fans traveling by train.
Fan material
In principle, there are no restrictions on the number of fan materials such as drums, waving flags, banners/fence flags and megaphones. Only banners and choreographies need to be registered in advance. These must be made of B1 material (no wallpaper!) and must not contain any discriminatory content.
The right entrance is intended for all materials brought with you. Up to five people may accompany the material inspection. Stickers/decals and stick umbrellas are not permitted.
Access to the stadium:
The barrier-free entrance is via the wheelchair ramp at the south/east entrance. The HSV helpers in the red jackets are available to help and advise fans with disabilities at every home game around the Volksparkstadion and are happy to accompany them to their seats. The podium for away fans in wheelchairs is located behind Block 13 A. Seating is available there for accompanying persons.
Arrival and parking by car
The “yellow” parking lot is available to guests marked “aG” for every home game. Access takes place from the “yellow” car park towards the campus to the disabled ramp. Please note that due to capacity limits, only those stadium visitors who have the note “aG” on their ID can use the parking lot.
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.
Left hook, 'One hundred and eightyyyyyyy', and hand over the baton. Doesn't sound like football – and that's true. KSC is often associated with professional football, but with the sheer number of titles the club has won, it's worth looking beyond the pitch. Titles from Baden-Württemberg to Rome.
In a rescheduled Lotto Hessenliga match, SV Darmstadt 98's U21 team hosted SV Hummetroth at their youth academy on Wednesday evening (April 29th) but unfortunately came away empty-handed. Despite a spirited performance and playing with one man less, the score after 90 minutes was 3-1 in favour of Hummetroth.
