Overview

Discover the emotional rollercoaster of Holstein Kiel, affectionately called "The Storks." In a city traditionally dominated by the white sails of the Baltic Sea and the roaring arenas of pro handball, a century-long football miracle was brewing quietly and secretly. Accompany a local resident and a sociologist on the trail of the club – from simple street football in the early 20th century to 61 agonizing years in the lower leagues, up to the euphoric Bundesliga promotion in 2024. This is not just a sports tour; it is the story of the cohesion of a community, of urban rituals, and a love that never gave up.
