A trip to take on the German Second Division outfit has been pencilled in for Saturday July 28 (kick-off 2pm CET), one week before the new Championship campaign begins.

The fixture was among the first batch of pre-season dates announced by the club, with a host of familiar local dates also on the calendar.

Villa will send teams to both AFC Telford United and Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday July 14 (both 3pm), while their traditional trip to the Banks's Stadium to take on Walsall is scheduled for Tuesday July 17 (7.45pm).

Ticket details for all four games will be announced in due course.
