DFB Cup hit: VfB Lübeck welcomes Darmstadt 98 in the Lohmühle!

On August 16, 2025, the stadium at the Lohmühle in Lübeck will become an arena for an exciting sporting event. VfB Lübeck will host second division team SV Darmstadt 98 in the first main round of the DFB Cup. The kick-off for the first meeting between the two clubs in the club's history will take place at 6 p.m., a premiere that has the anticipation running high among players, officials and fans. This is reported by hl-live.de.

A look at the tickets shows that 7,539 tickets have already been sold, including around 1,300 for the away fans from Darmstadt. If you still want to be there, you can look forward to the available standing room in blocks D/E and B, and it is advisable to arrive early as the stadium gates open 90 minutes before the start of the game. The additional plus: The P+R parking lot for away fans can be used for a fee of 5 euros, while VfB fans have parking available on Einsiedelstrasse near the Gollanwerft. A bus shuttle is not offered, so using public transport or cycling is recommended.

Sporting challenge

The sporting conditions are exciting. SV Darmstadt 98, under the leadership of coach Florian Kohfeldt, looks back on a solid Bundesliga history, but cannot point to a podium finish last season, which they finished in 12th place in the second division. Despite these challenges, Guerino Capretti, head coach of VfB Lübeck, is optimistic. He notes that Darmstadt is particularly strong in set pieces. Sports director Sebastian Harms describes the draw as a major sporting competition and promises that this day could become a holiday for VfB Lübeck.

Dieter Gudel, the club's chairman, was there when the lottery was drawn at the German Football Museum in Dortmund and speaks of great anticipation for the event. For the VfB Lübeck supporters, this duel is not only a sporting challenge, but also an opportunity to prove themselves in an important cup game.

Parking options and ticket offer

There are various travel options available for fans who want to experience the game live. In addition to the parking spaces mentioned, public transport is also a good choice for getting to the stadium in a relaxed manner. Drinks, such as mineral water in tetrapaks, are available on site and should be a must for thirsty fans at the game.

Ticket sales aren't over yet. Season ticket holders and club members have the right of first refusal, and tickets can be purchased conveniently via the web shop or directly in the office. Demand for the cup game is high, and the tickets reserved for guests in particular are likely to sell out quickly.

So if you want to be part of a piece of football history, you would be well advised to get a ticket quickly and look forward to the football magic in Lübeck. The DFB Cup game on August 16th will certainly be a highlight for everyone involved!
