Heidenheim's chairman Holger Sanwald stated on the club website that the loan of Hennes Behrens until the end of the season addresses the gap on the left side created by Leart Pacarada's injury. Behrens expressed gratitude for the trust of those responsible and is highly motivated to help the team achieve its goal of staying in the league at the end of the season.

FC Heidenheim has completed their first winter transfer, with Hennes Behrens moving from TSG Hoffenheim to Heidenheim on loan until the end of the season. Behrens did not make an appearance for Hoffenheim this season and is expected to gain professional experience at Heidenheim, who are trying to avoid relegation. Behrens expressed enthusiasm about his move, stating that he was very happy about the opportunity to further his development in Heidenheim. He also said that the loan to FCH gave him the chance to develop further at a high level in the Bundesliga and to get as much playing time as possible.

According to Kicker, 1. FC Heidenheim has acquired Hennes Behrens (20) with immediate effect. The left-back will be loaned from league rival Hoffenheim until June 30 and is intended to cover for the long-term absence of Leart Pacarada.

Hennes Behrens is joining the 17th placed team from TSG Hoffenheim to strengthen the squad. It is reported that the 20-year-old left-back is moving on loan without a purchase option. A return to Breisgau is scheduled for the summer. Until then, Behrens is expected to gain Bundesliga experience in Heidenheim. It is further stated that only the final details need to be settled before the deal is completed at the beginning of January.
