Hertha discovers new talent: Krattenmacher inspires after Bayern time!
A breath of fresh air is blowing at Hertha BSC! Maurice Krattenmacher, a 19-year-old talent from Bavaria, is joining the Berliners on loan for the 2025/26 season. The attacking midfielder will wear the number 14 and has decided to take on the challenge in the capital with full conviction. He spoke positively about the discussions with sporting director Benjamin Weber and Hertha's new coach, which only increases his anticipation of working together.
Krattenmacher moved from SpVgg Unterhaching to Bayern Munich last summer and was not only able to gain experience there, but also play alongside the FC Bayern stars at the FIFA Club World Cup. He describes this time as “indescribable” and instructive, which only reinforces his ambition to develop further. According to stern.de, the young player also has an eye on role models like Jamal Musiala.
A step towards game practice
The decision for Hertha BSC also includes the desire for more match practice. On his return to Bayern, Krattenmacher was loaned out to the second division club SSV Ulm, where he scored three goals and provided eight assists in 33 competitive games. These performances and his impressive talent promise an exciting season for the Berliners.
The interaction with Hertha's striker Fabian Reese also seems promising. Together they could boost Hertha's offensive game and inspire the fans. Expectations are high and Krattenmacher is determined to show his skills on the pitch and help the team.
The ongoing preparation
The team is currently training in Kitzbühel, where they are preparing for the challenges ahead. Three ailing outfield players, Paul Seguin, Deyovaisio Zeefuik and Linus Gechter, prefer individual training to stay fit. Substitute goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck is also unable to take part in goalkeeper-specific training after his shoulder operation.
To complement the training group, Julius Gottschalk, an 18-year-old U23 player, is traveling from Berlin. Young players Kennet Eichhorn and Burak Özkanli are also expected in Austria on Sunday. A double test against Bröndby IF and Istanbul Basaksehir FK also awaits the players, which could provide the best conditions for a successful season.
In the world of football, development is the be-all and end-all. Krattenmacher is just one of many talents seeking their fortune in the Bundesliga. Other young players from various clubs have also been highlighted recently, including Mathys Tel and Jamie Gittens, who are all making big steps in their careers. This shows that the Bundesliga is not just about the big players, but that the talent can also play an important role in further boosting the already exciting football environment, as reported on bundesliga.com.
