Overview

  • A 130-square-meter Arminia Bielefeld jersey was installed on the Hermannsdenkmal in Detmold on May 14, symbolizing support for the club ahead of their first-ever DFB-Pokal final.
  • The installation, organized by main sponsor Schüco and the Landesverband Lippe, took one hour to complete and features the sponsor's logo and 'Hermann 25' on the back.
  • Club ambassador Fabian Klos and legend Ewald Lienen praised the gesture as a reflection of the community's pride and the team's remarkable achievement.
  • Arminia Bielefeld, a third-division side, defied expectations by defeating four Bundesliga teams to reach the final, with potential Europa League qualification and financial rewards at stake.
  • The jersey tribute recalls a similar 1999 celebration when the Hermannsdenkmal was dressed in Arminia colors to mark the club’s Bundesliga promotion.
