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. 
 

 

City of Limburg on the Lahn River
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.
