Overview
- Hertha secured promotion after winning the two‑leg playoff on aggregate, taking a 4:1 lead in the first match and losing the return tie 2:3 while still advancing.
- The decisive return match featured Elfie Wellhausen’s brace, including a goal within seconds of kickoff, which helped preserve Hertha’s overall advantage.
- The June 21 return game was sold out with about 4,203 spectators, underlining rising local interest in club women’s football.
- 1. FC Saarbrücken completed an almost perfect Regionalliga season (21 wins, 104:5) but failed to win promotion because the playoff is decided over two legs.
- Saarbrücken’s top scorer Lara Martin will move to FSV Mainz 05 next season, and Hertha—whose women’s department was re‑founded in 2022—will join the 2. Frauen‑Bundesliga when the season begins in early August.
