North Rhine-Westphalia

Did you know? 166 Bundesliga goals — every single one in the shirt of 1. FC Köln. Hannes Löhr stayed loyal to his club for years and remains Köln's all-time Bundesliga record scorer. In 1968 he became the first Köln player to win the top-scorer crown, with 27 goals. At the 1970 World Cup in Mexico he was part of the German side that finished third.

Did you know? When Jupp Derwall took over the West German national team from the legendary Helmut Schön in 1978, few believed he could deliver. Yet he went unbeaten in his first 23 internationals — a record at the time — and promptly won the 1980 European Championship, Germany's first major title in eight years.
