Eintracht Niesky mourns for Paul Neumann: Farewell to heart and memory

In Niesky, the grief for Paul Neumann, an estimated member of the FV Eintracht Niesky and board member, triggered a deep wave of emotions. The team and the entire community shocked the unintentional loss due to a car accident on May 17, 2025. Paul, who created many happy moments in club life with his high commitment and positive energy, leaves a gap that is painfully noticeable. "We will lack his laughter and the way of all," the club explains in an official statement and expresses his deepest condolences to the family, while respect for their privacy is asked for their privacy in this difficult time. fv-eintracht-niesky.de )

But FV Eintracht Niesky is not beaten. Despite a difficult start to the season, coach Enrico Kuntke has observed remarkable progress in the team in the past few weeks. The end of the season was modest, aimed at a place in the middle of the field, but the team exceeded expectations and finally reached third place. "We initially had several departures and some important players were missing from vacation or illnesses," explains Kuntke. But after a number of scarce defeats, the team found their rhythm and improved steadily. ( Saechsische.de )

a new way with cohesion

The cohesion in the team is described as particularly strong. The integration work of young players seems to bear fruit, which is not least due to the conversations that were led to strengthening the team spirit at the end of October. Players like Julius Dittrich and the defense chief Bruno Vogel have developed impressively, with the latter even lost 20 kilograms of weight. "This shows that the hard work pays off," said Kuntke proudly.

With the rise of the NFV yellow-white Görlitz, there is now a new regional competitor. Nevertheless, Eintracht Niesky continues to pursue the strategy of promoting players from the region and strengthening the club identity. "Our motto is 'my city - my club' and we live that too," emphasizes Kuntke.

a dignified farewell

In the middle of all challenges, the association plans a farewell party for Paul Neumann in order to receive the last honor and to consolidate the joint band. On the coming Friday, contributions, music and a donation box will be part of the celebrations for his family. Neumann's tasks have now been distributed to the club members, but much remains of his vision and enthusiasm as a lasting legacy of FV Eintracht Niesky. "His influence on us remains unforgettable and gives us the necessary drive for the coming season," said the coaching team. ( Saechsische.de )
