Whe is the one and only FCH? 1. FC Heidenheim and FC Hansa Rostock have been fighting a spectacular battle for weeks over the question of who can claim these three letters in exactly this order. Between the Ostalb and the Baltic Sea there is a fight over the acronym via lawyers’ letters and, thankfully, publicly via press releases. The FCH (from Rostock) claims: “The FCH is more than a name for us. It is our DNA.” The FCH (from Heidenheim) writes: “For us, FCH is an expression of our grown identity and extraordinary success story.”
