The club is best known for its involvement in a notorious German Cup tie against Bundesliga side Hamburger SV on August 21, 2004. Paderborn upset HSV 4-2, but it was revealed in January 2005 that the match referee, Robert Hoyzer, had taken money from Croatian gambling syndicates to fix the match. The resulting scandal became the biggest in German football in over 30 years, and has been a major embarrassment to the country during its preparations to host the {{Wc|2006}}.
