History of the Club and
Limburger Säcker
Limburger Hockey Club,
founded 1923, is one of the leading field- and indoor-hockeyclubs in Germany.
Since 1945 the Limburger Hockey Club earned international reputation by
organising hockey tournaments during Whitsuntide. The current players of "The
Limburger Saecker" contributed significantly to the club's success in field- &
indoor hockey in the 80/90ies. They revitalised a former tradition of a "Saecker
Team" in the 60/70ies. However the current team "The Limburger Saecker" are
formed of previous Olympic champions, World Cup and European Cup winners as
well as several national champions in field and indoor hockey. The objective
of the team is to play international tournaments at least twice a year to keep
the spirit of a very successful team alive.
The Middle Ages not only
saw the writing of the Song of the Nibelungs, but also the construction of
Germany's large cathedrals. At least building began then - they took decades
and sometimes even centuries to complete, and Limburg Cathedral is no
exception here. Having started off as a Romanesque structure it was overtaken
by the "newfangled" Gothic style, and standing above the old city of Limburg
and the Lahn river in all its glory today, it embodies quite a variety of
styles. The cathedral is, of course, a symbol of the city and one of its key
attractions, but the old heart of the city is also very pleasing to the
visitor's eye. The ensemble of half-timbered houses has, quite rightly, been
declared a historical monument. But historic Limburg pleases more than just
the eye. The town's past will also delight your taste buds, in the form of
the "Limburger Säcker". The traditional figure made of pastry
serves as a reminder of the olden days, when goods were still carried in sacks
from the banks of the Lahn up into the town.
