Update from June 8th, 12 noon: Cult traditional setting for the first DFB Cup semi-final this Tuesday evening.
Since the Ludwigspark Stadium in Saarbrücken has been newly built and extensively renovated since the beginning of 2016 - and construction work is continually being delayed - the 1st FCS has played its home games in the Hermann Neuberger Stadium in neighboring Völklingen (40,000 inhabitants) since then .
The stadium, which only has 6,800 spectators for competitive games (originally), has gone somewhat out of fashion. It was built around 1930 and lastly modified in 2016 for the game operations in the Regionalliga Südwest - by the tenant 1. FC Saarbrücken .
In the previous DFB Cup 2019/2020, the provisional home that borders the Saar river has proven to be a real pledge for the blatant outsider.

Keeper Daniel Batz became a great hero, parried a Rouwen Hennings penalty in regular time and when the drama reached its climax Kenan Karaman, Kevin Stöger, Matthias Zimmermann and Mathias "Zanka" Jörgensen despaired. After Jahn Regensburg (3: 2), 1. FC Köln (3: 2) and Karlsruher SC (5: 3 nE) , the Düsseldorf team was already the fourth professional club to be crushed by the Saarlanders and was the first fourth division team to reach the semi-finals of the competition .
