Real Madrid's Sunday evening defeat to Sevilla means that Hoffenheim are now the only team in the leading European leagues to remain undefeated this season.
Six victories and 10 draws into the Bundesliga season, Julian Nagelsmann's side currently sit in fifth place ahead of their return from the winter break this weekend when they take on Augsburg.
At just 29 years of age, Nagelsmann's success has been well-documented, with the youngest coach in Bundesliga history having had a mighty impact on the club since his promotion to the first-team dugout last February.
Die Kraichgauer found themselves bottom of the league table and six points from safety when he took charge, but he led them to survival and was kept in his role ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.
The club's board has seen their faith rewarded as the team from a town of 3,000 people has taken another step forward during the first half of the current season.
Only Shakhtar Donetsk, Istanbul Basaksehir, Rijeka, Copenhagen, Celtic, FK Kukesi, The New Saints, F91 Dudelange and Differdange remain unbeaten in Europe, but no club from the five main leagues of Germany, Spain, England, Italy and France has avoided domestic defeat as long as Hoffenheim.
