Source-derived summary

Vico Meien (born 15 March 1998) is a German footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Regionalliga Südwest club VfR Aalen.

Career

Meien made his professional debut for TSV Havelse in the 3. Liga on 24 July 2021 against 1. FC Saarbrücken.

After TSV Havelse was relegated, Meien signed with VfR Aalen in the Regionalliga Südwest ahead of the 2022–23 season, signing a contract until June 2024. He immediately became a regular starter and helped the team fight against relegation. While Aalen narrowly avoided relegation in his first season, they finished in a relegation position at the end of the 2023–24 campaign. Despite this, the season ended on a positive note when Aalen won the 2023–24 Württemberg Cup (Verbandspokal) by defeating SG Sonnenhof Großaspach 4–1 in the final, securing qualification for the 2024–25 DFB-Pokal.

Following the expiration of his contract, Meien left Aalen after 75 total appearances and joined Stuttgarter Kickers, who had finished second in the Regionalliga Südwest in 2024.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1998, 2021, 2022, 2024—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1998-03-15. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Vico, Meien and German providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Vico Meien”, the useful work is to connect “german association football player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q107633237. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998, 2021, 2022 and 2024.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
