Union Berlin fans, players and staff celebrated the club’s promotion together
After a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Union Berlin held on for a goalless stalemate at their home ground to win on away goals.
And fans stormed the pitch to celebrate with their heroes at full-time.
Union president Dirk Zingler, who was unable to hold back tears, said: “I’ve been in this club for 40 years.
“I’ve waited for this day for so long.”
Union’s promotion was even more impressive after overcoming World Cup winners Mario Gomez and Benjamin Pavard in a Stuttgart side which also had former Bayern Munich star Holger Badstuber in defence.
