Since being the first German club to enter the European Cup meeting Hibs in 1956 I notice their rise has not reached the same heights as Hibs.

When we went to Essen, the year of the 60th, we were treated royally by them. Their hospitality before, during and after the match was brilliant, their new stadium was rocking for a tier 3 side. We reciprocated a year later at the HSA. We were also in Mattie Jacks company on that tri, brilliant. If you get a chance to go to Essen check out their supporters Club, loads of Hibs memorabilia.
 
Remember them well at the Supporters Bar, they sold dark rum and peppermint too, no optic measures.
