Mainz (dpa) – The Rhineland-Palatinate Sports Minister Roger Lewentz was “with all my heart” happy about the promotion of 1. FC Kaiserslautern to the 2nd Bundesliga.
“The whole Palatinate and the great fans have more than earned this successful first stage of the ascent marathon,” said the SPD politician. “Betzenberg, which sold out several times in the 3rd division (!), belongs back in the upper house of German football.” After going 0-0 in the first leg, Kaiserslautern won the relegation second leg at Dynamo Dresden 2-0 on Tuesday evening.
Even as a young boy, Lewentz was not only a fan of his hometown club in Kamp-Bornhofen, “but also an ardent supporter of FCK”. That’s why he, as chairman of the Fritz Walter Foundation, is “happy about this great and well-deserved success of the association”.
