A controversial final play led to an open net for Waldemar Anton to save the season
BVB’s match-up against Hoffenheim provided the first opportunity in a while to play a pivotal match against a team not jostling for the same table space as Borussia Dortmund
there was a sense of confidence stemming from a series of good results against strong opposition
but Hoffenheim love to spoil a Black and Yellow party
The hosts pushed Dortmund to prove their mettle
Dortmund have hopped into Conference League qualification…for now
Here are our ratings from Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 win against Hoffenheim:
Not much he could have done for either goal
but his poor pass to Couto was the catalyst for the second
I’m boosting Anton’s rating for the way he finished his chance with two players to beat and the weight of the season on his shoulders
We’ve talked about veteran leadership this season
Then he showed up at the other end of the pitch in the 95th minute to score the winning goal
but his deflection did bring Hoffenheim level
and I thought his spacing and communication with Svensson were lacking for Hoffenheim’s second
He’s starting to look like he can be a reliable part of BVB’s defense going forward
Picked up two assists and was a constant threat out wide for BVB
He’s really growing into this role as a wing-back
with questionable cross delivery and uneven defensive showings
Can had to step up into midfield to fill in alongside Nmecha
but he didn’t look as dependable (nor impactful) as he has in defense this season
I’d like to remember him for moments like this
This is the Julian Brandt we’ve been calling for so often this season
There were some sloppy moments and I thought he started to drift a bit in the second half
Hopefully this gives him the confidence to build on his performance in what is left of the season
Guirassy gets a penalty from me for missing his penalty
I would always rather see BVB clobber the opposition
BVB likely would not have ever been in a position to let Hoffenheim tie it up; they would have already been behind
For the first time this season Borussia Dortmund are taking their assignment seriously and showing that when they do
This was another box to check for BVB on the march to Matchday 34
It wasn’t the strongest performance we’ve seen from this side since Niko Kovač came in
The most impressive part was BVB’s refusal to capitulate when Hoffenheim pulled level twice
but it really is pleasing to see the fight this team has shown under Kovač
but they seem to believe in themselves now
They were rewarded for their efforts against Hoffenheim

Anton fires BVB to last-second 3-2 victory in Sinsheim | OneFootballBorussia Dortmund
The scenario: Fifteenth versus seventh: Hoffenheim were unbeaten in four home games
while Dortmund had lost only one of their previous four Bundesliga away matches and had won each of their last four away games in Sinsheim
Personnel matters: In addition to Schlotterbeck (torn meniscus) and Sabitzer (back in training)
Beier and Groß were ruled out by injuries sustained in the Gladbach match
Ryerson and Gittens came in for Couto and Adeyemi (both substitutes)
Tactics: BVB stuck with a back three for this match
but opted for two strikers (Guirassy and Gittens) and a No
Can played alongside Nmecha in central midfield in the 3-4-1-2 formation
Hoffenheim – predominantly in a 3-4-1-2 themselves – switched between a back three
mostly played long balls up to the attackers
closed down the spaces in defence and left little distance between the lines
while Borussia tried to build the play in a structured manner..
The match & analysis:...and registered 77%(!) possession in the opening quarter-hour as a result
but only posed a threat to the Hoffenheim goal to some extent
The most promising opportunity during the opening phase fell to Brandt
whose ninth-minute shot from the edge of the box lacked placement and power
But he showed his class as a provider shortly afterwards: Brandt played a wonderful chipped ball into the path of Svensson
who stormed towards the Hoffenheim goal in the inside left channel and then squared for Guirassy
who slotted into the bottom-left corner (20)
The flag initially went up but VAR overturned the decision: no offside
Following the lengthy VAR check, BVB almost increased their lead to 2-0
Guirassy reacted at lightning speed and the ball ultimately fell to Gittens
whose lob at the still empty net missed the target (24)
Brandt fed the ball through in the centre-left channel towards Gittens
who tried to go past Östigaard in the penalty area but was caught on his foot
Referee Brand immediately pointed to the penalty spot
Can picked up the ball but then handed it over to Guirassy
whose penalty was kept out by Baumann (34)
The spurned spot-kick disrupted Dortmund's flow. Hoffenheim grew stronger and restored parity at 1-1 in the 40th minute. But provider Kaderabek was narrowly offside. It was only towards the end of the first period that BVB started to look lively again
initially squandering two highly promising counter-attacking opportunities before going close to making it 2-0
But Süle (44) and Gittens (45) were denied by Baumann
before Guirassy's bicycle kick went narrowly wide of the mark (45+1)
The second half was nine minutes old when the outstanding Brandt
who showed immense commitment and enthusiasm
set the next major chance in motion with a through-ball from his own half
Gittens bore down on goal in the centre-left channel and tried to nutmeg Baumann
Stach played the ball into the Dortmund box in a centre-left position
Hlozek controlled it well and fired into the top right corner on the turn for 1-1
Kaderabek rose unchallenged to head home a Jurasek cross for 2-2
however: Guirassy played the ball into the path of Chukwuemeka
Guirassy pounced upon the loose ball and touched it to the right to Anton
Outlook:With three matchdays remaining, BVB have home advantage on two occasions: against VfL Wolfsburg next Saturday (18:30 CEST) and against Holstein Kiel on the final day of the season two weeks later
In between those is an away game in Leverkusen

It’s Sunday again fellow CTzens and we’re going to see the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum from Deutschland!In the exact day I visited the museum in August 2015 there was a US Car Meeting and the museum’s parking lot was full of American cars
today’s post is going to have a lot more photos
I don’t really know what to say about the car meet
but almost all the cars I saw were a first time spot for me so I was constantly picking my jaw up from the asphalt
Forget everything you ever saw as a kid and thought was a museum basically
this museum is beyond everything you ever imagined
They have everything you ever wanted to see and I’m not talking just about car related stuff
tanks which you can control and other military equipment
and accessible planes like the all time greatest Concorde
The museum is truly a celebration of human made technology and it’s development
I spent an entire day in the museum and I still think I didn’t see everything there was to see
Warning: The following is as car related as I can keep it
I guess I’ll kick off the museum tour with this
it wasn’t really the first thing I saw inside
it was the first time I saw one in real life and it is even better than what you see in photos
Good thing they’re going into production again
this was a tank armor that has been shot at
not just in the things that stuck in my mind to be fair
And by now you’re like: “Maaan this museum is SLEEEK!”
but then you get out of the first building to take a short walk to the second one and squeeze your eyes in the bright and painful sun of August as I did
For who doesn't know: The Blue Flame is the rocket-powered vehicle driven by Gary Gabelich… I still dream of the Maserati 250F I saw at Sinsheim
The thing is before I visited all these museums I spent a lot of time getting to know about what I was going to see there
I remember my brother called me because I was watching the Blue Flame and asked: “Did you see this?”
I sat there looking at it from all angles trying to memorise as much as I could from it
I think most of you know that I’m a huge Maserati fan by now
I had to move on from the 250F and this is what followed
And there were also some things like these
I wondered if this would fit a Honda I was getting really tired and hungry
but there was always something that would draw your attention and keep you going
Hitler's 1938 Mercedes W150 770 K Panzerwagen Brutus - powered by a BMW 46.0-liter V12
featured on Top Gear In the end I took the stairs to the top of the second building and what a great finale for the museum was to go on board of the Tupolev TU-144 and Concorde

Augsburg entered the match as one of the Bundesliga’s most in-form sides
unbeaten in their last ten league games and yet to taste defeat in the Rückrunde.
A key factor in their success has been goalkeeper Finn Dahmen
who extended his remarkable run to 620 minutes without conceding as the match reached the seventh minute
Hoffenheim looked determined to break through and came close in the 25th minute
as Augsburg aimed to extend their unbeaten streak while Hoffenheim searched for a crucial breakthrough
And it did not take long the the visitors to find it
as Samuel Assended expertly volleyed home just a matter of seconds into the second half
sending the travelling Augsburg contingent into raptures at the PreZero Arena
The hosts were gifted a golden opportunity to equalise from the spot in the 71st minute
and Andrej Kramaric did exactly that with a perfect dink down the middle to see goalkeeper Dahmen concede for the first time in almost 700 minutes of Bundesliga football
both sides looked for a possible winner however
Hoffenheim were originally awarded a penalty after Dahmen punched the ball away and made slight contact with Haris Tabakovic.
Dahmen was cleared and the penalty decision was rescinded.
With the match reaching its closing stages
the scores remained at 1-1 before the final whistle saw Augsburg extend their unbeaten run to 11 Bundesliga matches
Geek's Guide The Register's Geek's Guide series for explorers who love feats of tech and engineering prowess took a trip to the European mainland to see exhibits ranging from an Air France Concorde and a Soviet Tupolev Tu-144 "Concordski" to a Buran prototype
Well there are two of them: The Speyer and Sinsheim museums
both well worth a visit the next time you're in southwest Germany
The two museums can be accessed by driving an hour south from the closest large airport
by a gang of vintage enthusiasts keen to show off their vehicles
The collection has since grown to include a variety of military hardware
the supersonic airliners and the Buran prototype
Above and below: Space Shuttle Buran at the Technik Museum Speyer
with cargo bay exposed below – Pics: Richard Speed
We spent two days at the museums and were guided around the original museum, Sinsheim
Baschleben explained how it all got started more than 40 years ago
"There were ten private guys who had their own cars
and they decided to bring all these cars together
One of the enthusiasts had what would become one of Sinsheim's halls
It seemed like an excellent place to show the cars and was close to the autobahn
95 percent of the cars on display were drivable
although their owners remain responsible for them
"They are responsible for taking care of their own cars," he explained
While this means that Baschleben can't simply grab a set of keys and go for a joyride
it does mean that pretty much every car on show could be drivable after less than an hour of fettling
Baschleben told us that the club behind the museum had grown over the four decades to 20 people
but connected to it is a supporters club with more than 5,000 members
many of whom keep an eye out for potential new exhibits or have skills that the museum can use
Baschleben was keen to show off its collection of trains – a challenge to get to the museum since it is close to the autobahn but not a train line
although Baschleben quickly pointed out that everything had been deactivated and was regularly inspected by the government to ensure it stayed that way
The only place in the world where you can see the Russian and British/French rivals to build the first supersonic passenger plane side by side
Pictured left: The Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic passenger airliner (aka the "Concordski") and right Air France's Concorde jet – Pic: Richard Speed
and below: A view from the cockpit – Pics: Technik museum Sinsheim
An Air France Concorde and a Soviet Tupolev Tu-144 are on display
mounted on the museum roof to create an iconic skyline
distinguishing Sinsheim and Speyer from many other museums
Baschleben explained the decision process behind how much access to give visitors
Indicating one of the vehicles in the museum
if I would open this door and I would make it so that people can fit inside this car
it wouldn't be possible for us to save the interior of the car
and then the steering wheel would be gone…"
the museum is not averse to opening up some exhibits or introducing interactivity
a tank turret can be turned via remote controls
it is famously possible to clamber into the Concorde and Tu-144 at Sinsheim
The entrance to both is via a door at the rear of the aircraft after a climb up a staircase
which makes for an impressive display but also results in a tiring climb through the cabin to the cockpit
which is protected on both aircraft by plexiglass
Other parts of the aircraft are also protected by plexiglass to preserve what is in situ
although it is quite something to peer at the controls of the aircraft having reached their respective cockpits
The Tu-144 is owned outright by the museum
while the Concorde was leased from Air France for the princely sum of a single Euro
The Soviet aircraft arrived first and
Air France was so impressed with how the Tu-144 had been configured for display
it made one of its retired Concordes available
and the obvious question was handling the wind
considering how both the Concorde and Tu-144 have been mounted
the answer is well-engineered foundations that go through the museum and into the ground
he conceded that in another 10 or 20 years
the museum might need to reconstruct the supports
A model of the first crewed spacecraft on the Moon surface
the Lunar Module from Apollo 11 – Pic: Richard Speed
The policy of making exhibits accessible without destroying anything irreplaceable is evident here
The Buran is housed in its own pavilion alongside other artifacts from the space age
including a full-size mock-up of the Apollo Lunar Module
If you've paid a visit to London's Science Museum
you'll know what to expect from the latter
The presence of a Buran prototype – in this instance
which was used for atmospheric tests between 1984 and 1989 – is not something you'd find in London's Science Museum
and the Sinsheim and Speyer team have taken care to ensure that it is at once accessible
Unlike the Space Shuttle on display in the US
it is possible to stick your head into the rear of the Buran prototype
where the engines would be on a Space Shuttle
It is also possible to walk behind the cockpit to peer inside

We also took a look at the Boeing 747 on display
which has undergone alteration to allow visitors to view both the internal and external parts of the aircraft from unexpected angles
we took a walk along the wing and slid down the slide from the aircraft's belly
a walk along along the 747's wing –Pic: Richard Speed
"The thing is with the Boeing 747," explained Baschleben
so we could change the Boeing 747 in that way because if we destroy anything
"With the Concorde… if we were to destroy it in that way… it wouldn't be good."
Baschleben shared the story of the Buran prototype acquisition
where the museum had to get the prototype moved as quickly as possible once ownership issues were resolved
"There was a very big lawsuit," he explained
And it was not really clear: are they allowed to sell it
"We pulled it out of Bahrain as fast as we could because we couldn't be 100 percent sure everything was okay
And then there is yet more hardware to look at and occasionally clamber around
as well as plenty of automatic musical instruments
We can't recommend Sinsheim and Speyer enough. A new special exhibition covering the tuning exploits of both manufacturers and enthusiasts of the VW and Opel brands is due to open in November
It would seem rude not to plan a return visit
We flew from the UK and drove from Frankfurt Airport
although Stuttgart Airport is a similar distance away
There are also options for users of public transport
We went for a two-day pass that got us into both museums since trying to do the two in a single day would be challenging
A two-day pass is €52 or €42 for children between 5 and 14 and includes a show at the IMAX theaters on each site
although we didn't bother with a viewing since there was more than enough at each museum to look at it
There is also a parking charge at both museums

as The Black and Yellows are chasing an important spot in Europe next season
Last week’s win against Borussia Mönchengladbach was huge
and it means that Niko Kovac’s troops still have the Europa League and Champions League spots within their sights
The last four games will literally be four finals
and the first oppononet that BVB will have to down is TSG Hoffenheim
The Sinsheim-based club has not had it easy since Julian Nagelsmann left in 2019
and they have been a mid to low table club since his departure
has managed just a 1.00 point average in his 25 matches in charge of the club
Hoffenheim aren’t mathematically safe from a spot in the relegation playoffs at the time of writing
but a win for Stuttgart on Friday evening could change that
Niko Kovac has found some resemblance of consistency to maybe get BVB into Europe next year
The team is currently on a fine run—let’s hope it continues on Saturday
Andrej Kramaric is once again the top goalscorer and assist maker for Hoffenheim
I feel like we highlight this guy every time we face Hoffenheim
as superstar Tom Bischof is out through suspension for tomorrow’s game
He has been one of the most impressive players in the league this year
He has 11 goals and 5 assists for Hoffenheim this season
That’s almost a 40 % (!) goal involvement from the Croatian veteran—definitely something to look out for
It seems like Niko Kovac has found a core of players that he trusts at this point
and the lineup hasn’t changed much in the last couple of weeks
the biggest loss is the absence of Maxi Beier
there are enough bodies to fill in for the German for the time being
Pascal Groß is a question mark for the game
so I assume he won’t start tomorrow’s game
and that Svensson and Ryerson will form a reliable
Hoffenheim has had a hard time finding the goals this season
so a more attacking minded midfield seems like a fine move

the hilarity of Ezra — used to the ultra-modern ticket scanners at Spurs — being baffled by the old-school turnstiles; then the rows of sausages as the sole snack on offer
And the atmosphere was fun and warm — maybe it helps that fans drink beer at their leisure on the terraces as opposed to binge-drinking pints at half-time
The next morning we walked to the Technik Museum Sinsheim — the transport museum
claimed by its owners to be the largest on Earth
if you include the collection at its sister museum in Speyer

Hoffenheim's last outing ended in a 3-1 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen on February 2
Despite generating an impressive 2.26 xG compared to Leverkusen’s 1.4
they only became a real attacking threat after the reigning champions were reduced to 10 men in the 61st minute
by which time Hoffenheim were already trailing 3-0
This season has been a stark contrast to their impressive 2023-24 campaign
where they finished seventh with 46 points and qualified for the Europa League
they are projected to collect just 31 points this term
head coach Christian Ilzer can take solace in his team’s recent attacking improvements
with Hoffenheim scoring 12 goals in their last five matches
They have also won two of their past five games across all competitions
equaling the number of victories from their prior 14 fixtures
their defensive vulnerabilities remain evident
highlighted by a 2-1 defeat to Union in September
failing to win in their last six matches and losing three of their previous four while conceding eight goals in that stretch
Hoffenheim continue to grapple with injuries
though defenders Christopher Lenz and Valentin Gendrey are expected to return later in the month
Goalkeeper Luca Philipp is likely to start in place of the injured Oliver Baumann
with Arthur Chaves and Kevin Akpoguma potentially forming the central defensive duo
Midfield dynamo Anton Stach remains sidelined until early March
Dennis Geiger and Finn Ole Becker could start together in midfield
Erencan Yardimci may retain his spot after being preferred over Gift Orban in the last match
Union Berlin were perhaps unlucky not to claim victory against Leipzig
as they limited their opponents to just one shot on target inside the box while accumulating 1.27 xG themselves
more than four times Leipzig’s tally of 0.27
manager Steffen Baumgart will be concerned about Union’s lack of cutting edge in attack
They have only scored twice in their last five games
failing to find the net in four of those encounters
with Union conceding 16 goals in their past eight outings after keeping three clean sheets in their first four matches of the season
Union have taken four points from their last three Bundesliga matches
having lost their last six league fixtures on the road while failing to score in four of them
they have secured just two wins in their last 26 Bundesliga away games
Frederik Rønnow is expected to start in goal
shielded by a back four of Josip Juranovic
particularly with Kevin Vogt still nursing a knee injury
Aljoscha Kemlein is projected to return later this month
meaning Janik Haberer and Rani Khedira could continue as the central midfield pairing
especially with Andrej Ilic still recovering from an ankle injury

Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Germany to take on Hoffenheim in the Europa League
Spurs have had a mixed record in Europe this season
meaning they are 26th in the Europa League table
For the travelling Spurs fans, this will be the first time they have seen their team play at the PreZero Arena
For all key information relating to the Hoffenheim away section and what to expect from Sinsheim
Sinsheim has no specific designated airport
meaning the majority of Spurs fans will land at Stuttgart Airport – approximately 40 miles away from PreZero Arena
From Stuttgart Airport to Sinsheim it is around a two-and-a-half-hour journey
supporters should head towards Flughafen/Messe and go on the S2 route of the S-Bahn to Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (tief)
take the two-minute walk to Stuttgart Central Station and get on the ICE560 to Bruchscal
From here it is a seven-minute walk that will see you end up at Wiesloch
Two more buses are then required – first the 799 into Sinsheim itself and then the 771
a nine-minute walk will see you arrive at the PreZero Arena
Hoffenheim were promoted to the Bundesliga in 2008 and have since established themselves as a regular member of the German top flight
Ten years after their promotion to the Bundesliga
qualifying for the group stages of the UEFA Champions League for the first time
Domestically, Die Kraichgauer have struggled this season, though. After 17 matches, they sit 16th, only five points ahead of bottom side VfL Bochum. In the Europa League
The Hoffenheim away section is located in the northeast corner of the ground
with visiting supporters taking up blocks G1-G2 and H1-H2
This includes a mixture of seated and standing tickets
the views inside the stadium from all four sides of the ground are impressive
A notable aspect of Hoffenheim’s home stadium is the elevated stands
providing supporters with an excellent view of the action
In the north-east section of the PreZero Arena
just over 9% of the allocation has restricted views
It can be hard to see the action at the south-west corner of the ground from the away end

working with the Speyer and Sinsheim technology museums
transported a 330-tonne submarine from Speyer to Sinsheim
the submarine will be made accessible to the public in the Sinsheim Technology Museum and preserved for posterity
The total weight of the transport amounted to 529 tonnes and a length of 74.5 m
The journey began on the road to the natural harbour of Speyer
continued by pontoon on the Rhine and Neckar to Haßmersheim and finally led back by road to the destination Sinsheim
the final road section of 48 km was particularly challenging and took two weeks due to bridges and narrow villages
the submarine could not be transported upright in every location
The solution was a special turning device that made it possible to tilt the submarine by 73 degrees and turn it back to a vertical position for narrow places. This meant narrow places could be navigated
The submarine was turned 14 times on the route

Even the professionals at Kübler Schwertransporte don't have a transport job like this every day
They are currently moving around 500 tonnes (approx
150 tonnes of low-loader) through the Kraichgau region in northern Baden-Württemberg
decommissioned by the German Navy in 2010 and now on its way to the Sinsheim Museum of Technology
The almost 50 metre long steel colossus is enthroned on a platform trailer with 30 axles
Kübler Schwertransporte is a long-standing MAN customer
‘We rely on MAN because the reliability of the vehicles has convinced us,’ says Niclas Grimm
‘We had a MAN TGX 41.680 converted into an 8x6 for special transports like this one.’
first from the Technikmuseum Speyer to the Rhine
U17 was loaded onto a river pontoon to be transported first via the Rhine to Mannheim and then via the Neckar to Haßmersheim until 9 July
it will now travel by road to its destination in Sinsheim
Kübler is responsible for the entire route.
its dimensions also make transporting it an adventure
Both on the water and during the journey on the road
it has to be repeatedly turned by 73 degrees - otherwise the truck with its bulky cargo would not be able to cross railway crossings or pass under various bridges
This is made possible by a turning device that was specially made for U17's last journey
Such customised solutions are nothing new for Kübler: the company from Michelfeld-Erlin is active worldwide as a logistics service provider in the heavy goods sector and is therefore very familiar with challenges of all kinds
In addition to powerful low-loaders and powerful trucks
one thing in particular is indispensable for such orders: lorry drivers with a lot of professional experience and a particularly good ability to concentrate.
He is at the wheel of the MAN TGX 41.680 8x6 and is chauffeuring U17 towards Sinsheim
‘I've been driving heavy goods vehicles for many years,’ he says
It also makes me proud to be able to drive such large transports.’ Preparations start long before the freight sets off for the first time: Possible routes are explored
arrangements are made with the authorities and police
A total of 2-3 people were involved at Kübler - including driver Saam from the very beginning.
The entire transport is a delicate endeavour
The team manoeuvres the 90 metre long and 10 metre high heavy transport not only under deep bridges
but also through the narrowest streets of the picturesque Kraichgau region
One of the trickiest moments is turning the boat several times on the pontoon
the crew not only has to keep the boat balanced
A particular challenge is sailing off the pontoon in Haßmersheim when U17 goes ashore
the pontoon has to be constantly rebalanced to compensate for the changing load.
“We can only master a transport like this as a team,’ says Niclas Grimm
‘As we have been in business for many years
our employees have been able to gain experience with all kinds of challenges all over the world
we are now benefiting from this - and we are also extremely proud that the Sinsheim Museum of Technology has entrusted us with this complex project.”
SearchMega MenuHomepageNewsMen's TeamNewsThe Bundesliga’s 14th Play 15th Union Away in SinsheimOn Saturday
FC Union Berlin’s men’s first team will face TSG 1899 Hoffenheim away from home in the Bundesliga
A glance at the table underlines the importance of this game
with TSG within striking distance of Union
Hoffenheim are coming off the back of a 3-1 loss at the reigning champions
Union had a challenging task ahead of them as they met RasenBallsport Leipzig at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei
their strong and focused performance earned an important point with a goalless draw
TSG Hoffenheim are currently 15th in the table with 18 points
Their disappointing first half of the season ultimately led to a change of coach and Christian Ilzer has been on the sidelines
tasked with leading the Kraichgauer back to safer shores
The Austrian made his debut with a 4-3 win over Leipzig
and there seems to be a slight upward trend under his leadership
After a convincing 3-1 away win at newly promoted Holstein Kiel
a respectable 2-2 draw against third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt followed
Hoffenheim also showed a combative face on the European stage recently
TSG defeated the Belgian club RSC Anderlecht 4-3
even if this success was not enough to advance any further in the competition
The victory in Belgium is still a creditable achievement
as TSG had to make do without no fewer than 18 (!) professional players
The injury problems were so severe that before the game
Ilzer admitted that he had never experienced a personnel situation like this in his entire career
some of these absentees are likely to return to the squad in time for the clash with Union
Union's coaching team still have to do without Kevin Vogt
Oluwaseun Ogbemudia and Aljoscha Kemlein on Saturday afternoon
The weekend's clash could almost feel like a class reunion for many of the players from both teams
Four Union players have a past in Kraichgau
Kevin Volland wore the TSG shirt 144 times between 2012 and 2016
while Janik Haberer played for the second team in the Regionalliga Südwest during the 2014/15 season
Kevin Vogt only moved from Hoffenheim to Köpenick last winter– he played for TSG in an impressive 226 games
Summer signing Robert Skov also spent five years at Hoffenheim
There are also some familiar faces on the other side
who has been in Hoffenheim since the summer of 2022
scoring 20 goals in 141 competitive games and celebrating promotion to the Bundesliga with Union in 2019
He will not be able to play on Saturday due to injury
Christopher Lenz will also miss the game due to injury
The left-back made 72 appearances for Union between 2016 and 2021
promotion hero and crowd favourite Jakob Busk has also found his way to Hoffenheim
although he has only been part of the TSG squad for a few days
The goalkeeper was still between the posts for the Danish first division side Sönderjyske during the first half of the season before signing for Hoffenheim at the end of the transfer period
“Hoffenheim are a team that have more quality in their play than their current league position would suggest,” said Union’s head coach
during his press conference on Thursday afternoon
we want to take the momentum from our last home game with us and be prepared to quickly shrug off any setbacks and get straight back into the game
playing to our strengths and giving our all in every tackle.’
We have a lot of direct duels in February and March
From Steffen Baumgart we know that we will get an energetic opponent
You can already clearly see what kind of play you can expect,’ Hoffenheim coach Christian Ilzer said at the press conference
For the away game in the Rhine-Neckar region, the Union players can count on the support of 1,800 fans in the away section. Union’s mobile zeughaus will also be on site. Information on visiting the stadium can be found here (German)
The game will be broadcast live on Sky. There will also be an audio stream on rbb24 Inforadio and on rbb24. As usual, Union will also provide information on the game via the club's live ticker
as well as offering live updates in English and Spanish on Twitter

Kimmich, who is white, blasted the response and the survey itself, telling reporters:
Football in particular is a good example of how you can unite different nations
different skin colors and different religions
I would miss a lot of players if they weren't here
This is absolutely racist and has no place in our changing room."
The 29-year-old Kimmich also took issue with the timing of the poll
as Germany is set to host the 2024 European Football Championship later this month:
"When you consider that we are about to host a European Championship at home
it's absurd to ask such a question when the aim is actually to unite the whole country
It's about achieving great things together
we're trying to get everyone in Germany behind us."
This year marks the first time Germany has served as the solo host country for the Euros since 1988 when the tournament was held in West Germany
Germany's three Euro titles are tied with Spain for the most in the history of the tourney
but they have not won it since 1996 despite their longstanding status as one of the top powers in European soccer
Germany's last major title was the World Cup in 2014 when defender Jerome Boateng
played a pivotal role in a 1-0 win over Argentina
as he dominated defensively and helped shut down Argentina's high-powered attack
Antonio Rüdiger and Leroy Sané are two Black players on Germany's Euro 2024 squad who figure to have a significant hand in the team's success as well
Germany will begin play at Euro 2024 on June 14 when it faces Scotland in group action
From the waves to the meadow: U17's last journey is over land
the maritime old-timer reaches its destination
From the vastness of the seas to the halls of technological history: the former naval submarine U17 has reached its new home port after an adventurous journey across water and land
Many onlookers welcomed the 350-ton steel colossus with applause and music at the Technik Museum Sinsheim (Baden-Württemberg)
visitors will have the opportunity to inspect the submarine from all sides - without getting wet
The impressive exhibit has been on the road for a good year since its launch in Kiel
sometimes firmly lashed down on a massive floating pontoon
then piggybacked on a low-loader with 30 axles
Now the journey of the "Ü-Boat"
as one spectator jokingly called the monumental piece of cargo
"We have brought a fascinating exhibit to us in a large team in a spectacular transport," said project manager Michael Einkörn
former submariners will also be on hand to give expert tours
The transfer of the almost 50-metre-long vessel was a logistical tour de force
as the maritime old-timer could not simply be transported by rail or truck
highways closed and traffic lights and signs dismantled so that the convoy could arrive safely
Einkörn spoke of "incredible precision" - not only during transportation
"One day the message came: We have a route that can work under certain conditions
The fact that everything would work out like this was unbelievable for us as a museum that doesn't deal with heavy transport on a daily basis."
One of the most spectacular moments was the journey under the Old Bridge in Heidelberg
The submarine was maneuvered through the arches on the Neckar with millimetre precision
U17 had to be tilted by more than 70 degrees on the floating pontoon
The narrow passages through the town were also difficult
"It all came down to a few centimeters," said Einkörn
The trickiest moment was a makeshift bridge
"There was a point where four axles were in the air and had no contact with the ground."
the iconic vehicle is now being prepared for the public
"The submarine adds a marine history perspective to the exhibition at the Technik Museum and offers visitors the rare opportunity to experience such a means of transportation up close," explained museum director Andreas Hemmer
Visitors will be able to learn more about life on board
the submarine's missions and its technology
They will also gain an insight into the cramped conditions of the crew and the challenges of underwater service
The vessel was based in Eckernförde with a crew of 23
it was loaned to the Technik Museen Sinsheim Speyer after discussions with the Federal Ministry of Defense and the Bundeswehr
a gantry crane hoisted the vessel onto a floating pontoon in Kiel
and since then it has been gradually approaching its destination
Thousands stood on the banks of the Rhine in Baden-Württemberg
Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia and followed the transportation of the unusual exhibit to its final destination in Speyer (Palatinate)
batteries weighing several tons were removed there
The steel giant then set off on its final journey to Kraichgau at the end of June
Bad Rappenau or at night along the closed A6
the entire project costs around two million euros and is mainly financed by donations
Only one submarine can be seen further south in Germany: U1
the section in the Deutsches Museum in Munich is still closed until 2028

required complex planning: In February 2023
the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment
Information Technology and In-Service Support and the automobile and engineering museum association Auto-Technik-Museum e
concluded a loan contract to exhibit the former submarine U17
In addition to the extensive demilitarisation
it was required to process a long list of hazardous substances that had to be removed before the submarine was clear to start its journey over the North Sea and the Rhine river to Speyer and then to Sinsheim
Due to the great demand for high-quality steel parts
the majority of 206 and later 206A class submarines were sold for disposal
The Type 206 submarine class was partly upgraded to Type 206A and
formed part of the German Navy between 1973 and 2010
The former U17 submarine also belonged to the original 206 class and was upgraded to the 206A class standard from September 1989 to May 1991
U16 and U18 were sold for disposal via the VEBEGVerwertungsgesellschaft für besatzungseigene Güter GmbHGesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung company
A smaller number of submarines of this class was sold to other nations for further use
The submarines U23 and U24 were taken over by the Colombian armed forces
where they help contain oil spills and fight cocaine smuggling
The trust company VEBEGVerwertungsgesellschaft für besatzungseigene Güter GmbHGesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung was founded in 1951 as a federally owned company to exploit federal property and property of other public agencies
only one submarine of this class will be on display soon
In terms of military historical exhibitions, the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung (WTSWehrtechnische Studiensammlung)
which is the collection of military equipment of the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment
Information Technology and In-Service Support
maintains a long-standing cooperation with the Technik Museum
The Speyer site of the Technik Museum has already been given the 205 class submarine ex-U9 as a loan
the museum showed interest to also expand its Sinsheim exhibition by a submarine
After then Minister of Defence Ursula von der Leyen had given her approval
extensive planning for the loan started at the WTSWehrtechnische Studiensammlung until finally
ex-U17 was identified as a suitable exhibit
This 206A class submarine was best preserved and therefore eligible for lending it to the Technik Museum
it still involves some costs for the museum
which must fulfill some prerequisites before the "precious piece" can take its new place
has to pay for the insurance and certain work such as demilitarisation and transport once the submarine has been handed over physically
Loan contracts have a long history that begins in the period of Roman law
the loan or loan item was handed over free of charge
A loan contract between a lender and a borrower regulates the lending of a loan item for a limited period of time
It also contains a description of the loan item
It is not possible to borrow or lend rights
The contract also specifies the return of the loan item and the liability
Ex-U17 was commissioned into the Navy on 28 November 1973 and was mainly employed in the North and Baltic Sea areas until it was taken out of service on 14 October 2010
a width of 4.58 metres and a draught of 4.30 metres
weighs approximately 500 tons (before demilitarisation)
With the two twelve-cylinder engines of 440 kilowatts or 600 horsepower each and an electric motor of 1,100 kilowatts or 1,500 horsepower
the surfaced ex-U17 reached a speed of up to ten knots
there was quite a lot to be done: Due to the classification as war weapon
a so-called "certificate of demilitarisation" was needed to prove the required demilitarisation
Since the submarine is classified as a weapon of war
it is mandatory to demilitarise it before lending or exhibiting it
Certain military components are technically modified in such way that they can no longer be used for their intended purpose and the modification not be reversed by means of "commonly used" tools
In order to make it impossible to use ex-U17 for its original purpose
some work had already been carried out before the loan contract was concluded: Among other things
the weapon systems had been removed or rendered unusable and the ballast tanks had been perforated with holes so that they could no longer be used as intended
ballast tanks are either filled with air or water depending on the type of ballast tank and whether the submarine is surfacing or diving
the hull is fitted with two frames: These contribute to the boat’s stability and affect its speed
Because of the work carried out on the submarine
In addition to being classified as a weapon of war
the submarine is also classified as a hazardous good
and as such requires special transport permits
which must also be provided prior to collection
several of its systems use substances classified as hazardous goods
special measures are to be taken before a transport
and every transport requires special permission
This is because cargo classified as hazardous goods must not be transported without certain precautions
a simple marking on the outside of the transport packaging is sufficient
it was specified in the loan contract which of the required work had to be completed ahead of the handover
A submarine has integrated rescue systems for emergencies: From these systems
a substance called "hydrazine" was removed
even when other systems have already failed
Another substance classified as a hazardous good
was contained in the fire extinguishing system of ex-U17
The refrigerant in the air conditioning system was also removed
the bilge and all other tanks were emptied
The bilge is the lowest area in the ship hull and collects e.g
condensation water from the air conditioning system
Once the submarine has arrived at its destination
it can be accessed and explored by interested visitors
is no longer possible due to the classification as a weapon of war and the work carried out on the submarine
It is also contractually excluded by the loan contract

Geoffrey Morrison/CNET The speed of sound -- 767 miles per hour -- is the kind of rarified velocity reserved for the adventurous few
Military pilots and astronauts come to mind
streaking across the sky in their high-tech tubes of titanium and steel
such speed was available to civilians in the form of the Concorde
it covered the distance between Europe and North America in less than half the time of traditional jets.
Not to be outdone by their aviation rivals in the west, the Soviet Union built and briefly flew its own supersonic commercial jet, the Tupolev Tu-144. Sixteen were built and a handful remain. Only one is outside Russia, and it's the star of the show at Germany's Technik Museum Sinsheim
While these are worthy attractions in themselves
the museum has a massive collection of other historical aircraft
and it could carry over 40 more passengers
The cabin was so loud passengers had to pass notes
Multiple crashes meant few passengers ever flew on the Tu-144
though some aircraft were used for a few more years as flying laboratories and to set some speed records
Seeing the Tu-144 today is nearly as impressive as seeing the Soviet Buran space shuttle at Sinsheim's nearby sister museum
The iconic mustache canards are the first visual clue that this isn't the Concorde
the massive Kolesov engines dominate the airframe
making the Concorde's Olympus engines seem svelte by comparison
Inside the earth-tone bins and subdued colors are nothing a western designer would have allowed
Teal instrument panels make the cockpit the most colorful part of the aircraft
Heinkels and helos Sinsheim is the largest privately owned museum in Europe
Two of the other standouts are very rare Heinkel He 111 and Junkers Ju 88 bombers
They were both widely produced during WWII
Geoffrey Morrison/CNETThere are also Lamborghinis of the wheeled and tracked varieties
Ferraris and Bugattis than you can shake a tie rod at
Technik Museum Sinsheim and Technik Museum Speyer are owned by the same company
Though both have a large number of cars and planes
to some people perhaps more so than the Buran
The museums are about 30 minutes apart by car
though you probably couldn't do both in the same day
Conveniently, there's a gallery above with many of the coolest exhibits, and you can also check out our tour and gallery of Speyer.
the exhibition will include an important selection of pieces from the collection of FCA Heritage - the Department that conserves and promotes the history of the FCA Group's Italian brands - and from the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo: not only legendary racing cars
like the Alfa Romeo SE048SP or the Alfa Romeo 1900 C52
nicknamed the "Disco Volante" ("Flying Saucer")
but also magnificent examples of the finest Italian design
such as the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport with bodywork by Touring
They are accompanied by technical items such as a Formula 1 engine or the innovative Q4 all-wheel drive system adopted on the Alfa Romeo 156. Naturally
the whole exhibition hall tells the story of Alfa Romeo and illustrates its design
including the evolution of the logo over the brand's first 109 years of history. There could be no better location for this amazing retrospective than the Technik Museum at Sinsheim: sited not far from Mannheim and opened in 1981
the museum is home to one of Europe's largest collections of cars
and attracts more than a million visitors every year
Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport (1947)Born in 1939 together with the other versions of the 6C 2500
like its sisters the top-of-the-range Super Sport was to have its career suddenly interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War
and to enjoy a second burst of fame in the immediate postwar years.Until 1946
the Super Sport was only sold as a chassis
although there were "standard" versions produced by a few coachbuilders historically close to Alfa Romeo
when operations were restarted after the War
an official bodywork version designed and built by Touring appeared in the official price list
Although links to the late Thirties versions were still clear
and as the Fifties dawned the car's look had been completely transformed
was extremely high and unchanging throughout
with state-of-the-art workmanship and materials.The car's 2,500 cubic centimetre six cylinder engine turned out 105 HP (81 kW) with the aid of three carburettors
Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 "Disco Volante" (1952)In 1952
Alfa Romeo considered various options for its future involvement in racing
and the design technicians investigated the potential of the Alfa Romeo 1900 with a view to using it as the basis for a racing car to compete in the Sport category
also in response to urging from Max Hoffman
who was asking Alfa Romeo to come up with a barchetta suitable for racing in the US
giving it an aluminium block and boosting its displacement to two litres
This increased the power to 116 kW (158 HP)
while the bodywork was built by Carrozzeria Touring in aluminium with Superlight structure
were three two-seater spiders with a curb weight of just 824 kilograms
Its futuristic style earned the model the nickname of "Disco volante"
or "Flying Saucer".The car on display is the only one of the chassis with coupé bodywork
Alfa Romeo SE048 SP (1989) and V1035 engine (1990)In 1989 Alfa Romeo prepared for its debt in the World Sportscar Championship with assistance from Abarth which
developed a prototype on the basis of the Group C regulations
The chassis was in carbon fibre and the bodywork in a composite of carbon fibre and Kevlar
including a naturally aspirated V10 with displacement of 3.5 litres (code V1035)
which Alfa Romeo had originally developed in 1986 for the Ligier Formula 1 team
The car was christened the SE048 SP - using Abarth's normal code name system - but was never used in racing
since Alfa Romeo had cancelled its involvement in the World Sportscar Championship
partly due to lack of interest on the part of the FIA
the chassis was equipped with a V12 engine provided by Ferrari
Alfa Romeo 156 Crosswagon Q4 traction system (2004)In 2004 Alfa Romeo assigned the badge "Q4" to its permanent all-wheel drive system featuring variable power distribution via a Torsen central differential
The Q4 traction system was used in the Alfa Romeo 156 Crosswagon
a variant of the Sportwagon with an extra 6.5 centimetres of ground clearance
during normal operation the Q4 traction system delivered more power to the rear axle: during acceleration
up to 80% of torque was transferred to the rear wheels
One advantage of the Q4 system was its compatibility with electronic safety systems
including anti-slip regulation (ASR) and stability control (which the Alfa Romeo brand called VDC).The "cross-section" model exhibited in Germany
driven by electric motors and with lights explaining how the mechanics work
Wind-tunnel model of Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI (1992)With the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI
the Italian brand successfully competed in the German Tourism Championship (DTM) and the subsequent ITC championship series of races in the Nineties
when Alfa Romeo won the DTM championship against strong German competition and driver Nicola Larini won the drivers' title
The Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI has a naturally aspirated V6 petrol engine with displacement of 2.5 litres
which in 1993 produced about 309 kW (420 HP)
The model on display - which reproduces the car to scale 1:4 - was used in the wind tunnel for the aerodynamic tests
