A visit to the red and white barn-WG
Cologne - FC un goat, do drop hammer block. FC un goat, do Stommer ooch drop. "
Finally, it is again so far, the new Bundesliga season 09/10 is in full swing. And we too had an "old goat", a major star of the 1st FC Köln, Hennes VIII personally acquainted.
So - on to the home of Hennes in Cologne-Ram village. There we were warmly "op kölsche kind" by his owner, Hildegard Schafer, and his supervisor, 1 FC Cologne, Ingo Reipka, received and led into the stable of the FC mascot.
There waiting for us not only the two-year Hennes VIII, but also a fluffy surprise - Willy II: Willy is a year of rabbit, which together with Hennes VIII in a barn-WG is alive and apparently at his top of the world feels.
First, the Cologne goat was still shy. But after we were allowed to feed him with pieces of apple, he showed himself at his best and proved to us, therefore, why he is the most popular mascot of German sport.
Hennes VIII is now even a very media-savvy. Hildegard Schafer told us that her charge has already had numerous TV and promotional appearances - including at Stefan Raab.
As FC fans, of course, we know that our club regularly supports Hennes VIII at every home game in the RheinEnergie Stadium.
At the end of the day we were very surprised with what composure mastered the little guy to be turbulent and exciting life and his club is always a good luck charm and mascot on its side.
After the first two not so successfully conducted the tournament is to collect for the FC now time, in the Bundesliga points. Therefore, we express Poldi & Co. all keep our fingers crossed. We are sure that Hennes VIII brings the club into the next games of luck.
