-Lemmy- (talk) 17:04, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Creating articles for and about Eintracht Frankfurt all the time but if I see mistakes and/or not updated articles I correct it as well. As I'm German I can help out with translations and local news and opinions as well. Just drop me a message and I'll be there.[reply]
King of the NorthEast 17:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC) (I'm well busy with Argentine football at the moment, but will keep new pages on my watchlist and hopefully create articles for South American footballers in Germany when I get some time.)[reply]

SFletcher06 (talk) 23:13, 24 June 2020 (UTC) I like German football generally, and especially East German football. I support Union Berlin, but have a soft spot for Erzgebirge Aue amongst others.[reply]

With the addition of the page on 1. FC Kleve we had in place an article for each German club playing fourth division football or better in 2007–08!
The 2008–09 season is soon upon us and the introduction of the new 3. Liga has expanded the scope of the task force. What was once the fourth tier Oberliga is now a fifth tier circuit. Basic coverage of teams in the first four tiers is in good shape. However, new articles are required for clubs appearing for the first time in the greatly expanded Oberliga (V) circuit.
Only a dozen new articles are required to complete basic coverage of all Oberligas other than the Oberliga Nord. That league has been broken up into five separate competitions and there is a need to cover off another 64 clubs playing in the north. This includes a mixture of traditional sides, former DDR clubs, and newcomers. You can see what needs to be done for the north at Oberliga.

Enthusiasts
There's lots of German football out there on the web. These sites are maintained by fans of the German game and offer up history, statistics, commentaries, logos, and more. If you visit, please be sure to leave behind a note of support or appreciation.
http://www.abseits-soccer.com/ The Abseits Guide to German Soccer: English language, an introduction to the German game, team profiles, historical tables, editorials, and commentary.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Mghamburg/Vereinslexikon One German user has set himself the ambitious goal of creating pages for each of the teams listed in Hardy Grüne's Vereinslexikon. Awesome team list based on the book, quick links to German language team pages at de:Wikipedia.
Grüne, Hardy (2001). Vereinslexikon. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN3-89784-147-9 One of the must-have reference books for German football fans. Lists all German clubs that have appeared in fourth division competition and above up to 2001. (in German)
Recent word is that a updated version of the Vereinslexikon is in the works and that the good burghers at www.wappensalon.de will be paricipating by providing some of the logo work. Watch for it.
The updated version of the penultimate German football reference has been available for some months now. It goes under the name of Das große Buch der deutschen Fußballvereine (Grüne, Hardy and Karn, Christian (2009). Das große Buch der deutschen Fusballverein Kassel: Agon-Sportverlag. ISBN978-3-89784-362-2) and includes information on over 2,000 clubs that have played third division football or better.
The authors have taken a new tack and in addition to the basic statistical stuff provided for each club, there's now a short written history included. It's given the whole thing more depth and made it even more fun and informative than it was before. Now doubly worth laying your hands on.
Grüne, Hardy (1996). Vom Kronprinzen bis zur Bundesliga. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN3-928562-85-1 Another of Grüne's books, this one provides a detailed history (tables, tables, tables) of German championship competition from the earliest days of the game in Germany until the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963. The Bundesliga is a separate book. (in German)
Grüne, Hardy (2003) 100 Jahre Deutsche Meisterschaft. Die Geschicte des Fußballs in Deutschland. ISBN3-89533-410-3 Yup. Grüne again. He's got a series of these. This is another look at the German championship, celebrating its centenary so it includes the Bundesliga. More detailed commentary this time out, without the detailed tables and summaries of VKbzB. (in German)
Hesse-Lichtenberger, Ulrich (2003). Tor! The Story of German Football. WSC Books ISBN0-9540134-5-X A well-written English language introduction to the German game from it beginnings in the late 19th century through to the 2002 World Cup. Provides a great overview of the complex history of German football. (in English)
