Thirst too strong for the party: Hamburg goes wild after double promotion
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in here.
No trophy, narrowly missed the second division championship, none of it matters - only the promotion counts! That's the impression you get today at the HSV promotion party.
The club and fans have crossed over seven bridges - and how relieving it is to finally have reached the other shore? We can clearly see this from the following pictures & videos. The double promotion of the men's & women's teams is reason enough to send the whole Hanseatic city into ecstasy:

Mayor Peter Tschentscher praised HSV's performance and did not forget club legend Uwe Seeler in his speech, who unfortunately could not witness the spectacle, but according to Tschentscher "would be proud of everyone who made sure that HSV is playing where it belongs again."

Not only the men were celebrated, but also the women's team of the Hamburger Sportverein is first-class from next season. Their joy must be especially great, as their relegation 13 years ago was not due to sports performance, but a forced relegation for financial reasons - at least that's how the board argued it back then. Either way, the associated downturn is over, and the HSV women are also back in the top league!

From Major Tom to "Never second league again" and "We are HSV" to "I love my Hamburg very much", musical accompaniment is, of course, a must - an easy task for the Hamburg fans. Just as much as including one of the greatest German poets in the promotion celebrations:

A whole evening without at least a bit of mockery and ridicule for HSV? That would be too good to be true. That's why the organizers of the celebrations made at least a small blunder, which caused a few laughs online:

The Hamburgers didn't seem to mind, no wonder: whether full or empty, having such a cup in hand must feel almost good as an HSV fan!

From the Rathausmarkt, it went with event trucks and party music once around the Binnenalster. There awaited another sea of black-white-blue scarves and jerseys:

The official end of the promotion party is planned for 9:00 PM - do the tens of thousands of revelers in promotion frenzy see it that way? We doubt it.
What about you? Would you have liked to be there today at the double promotion celebration in Hamburg?
