Particularly memorable between the two teams is the 34th matchday of the 2022/23 season when HSV already considered themselves promoted in Sandhausen but were ultimately overtaken by FCH. They scored two goals deep into injury time at Jahn Regensburg and secured second place behind SV Darmstadt 98 at the last second. The Rothosen then had no chance in the relegation against VfB Stuttgart.

This year's opening round was mastered by 1. FC Heidenheim, who participated in the Conference League last season, with a confident 5-0 win in Bahlingen. HSV, on the other hand, struggled significantly, winning against the amateur club Pirmasens only after extra time with 2-1.
