For the club's second home game in the Bundesliga, against Schalke 04, former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger announced his attendance, having been a lifelong fan of the club.[2] Felix Klaus put his name down in the history books, as his goal against Mainz 05 in their second game earned Greuther Fürth their first ever win in the Bundesliga.
