Bayer Leverkusen was the star at the 100th anniversary of SV Rindern, which took place last weekend. The club's traditional team faced the Rindern All Stars and celebrated an impressive 12-3 victory in front of over 600 spectators. Former national player Stefan Kießling was particularly in the spotlight, scoring the first goal and thrilling the fans with his performance. Hans-Peter Lehnhoff also demonstrated that at 62 years old, he can still play excellent football. Stadium announcer Tobias Budde praised the beautiful tiki-taka style of Bayer Leverkusen.

The event was made possible by passionate Bayer fan Eric Jansen, who is part of the SV Rindern business club. Before the match, he received an original jersey from the Bayer team that won the German championship title in the 2023/24 season, complete with player autographs.

The night before, a ceremony honoring long-standing members of SV Rindern took place in the festival tent, rounding off the celebrations. The anniversary events will continue throughout the year, with many more highlights bringing the community together.
