Runners-up: the league runner-up finish behind Borussia Mönchengladbach was especially significant. The 1974/75 season, right after the home World Cup, became Hertha’s most successful Bundesliga season. Under the three-point system Georg Keßler’s team would have taken 63 points from 19 wins.\n\nThey beat Mönchengladbach 2:1 in the top match in front of 91,000 spectators.
Despite that, the team around Thomas Zander, Michael Sziedat, Lorenz Horr, Ete Beer, Hanne Weiner and Wolfgang Sidka clearly missed out on the title in the run-in.
