On May 8, 1974, exactly 50 years ago, 1. FC Magdeburg won the European Cup Winners’ Cup. In Rotterdam, Magdeburg won against AC Milan 2-0. It was the first European Cup victory for a team from the GDR – and should remain the only one. Our author was seven years old at the time. She was at the stadium for the semi-finals with her football-loving Uncle Horst. She experienced the finale in the new building block in the center of Magdeburg where she lived at the time. GDR television broadcast a Soviet film instead of the game.
