Hecking wasn’t free for long as another Regionalliga Nord side, VfB Lübeck, came calling on 27 March 2001. His first match was a 1–0 loss to Fortuna Düsseldorf on 30 March 2001. Hecking achieved a solid job in the remaining games, leaving the club in third place, just one short of promotion.

Hecking then managed to secure Lübeck an 11th place in the 2002–03 season. Lübeck were knocked out of the German Cup by MSV Duisburg. The following season proved to have mixed results. In the league, the club slipped back down to the Regionalliga Nord, occupying the final relegation position. However, they also got to the semi-finals of the German Cup, where they were eliminated by Werder Bremen. This proved the catalyst for VfB Lübeck to announce that they would not be extending his contract further and he left the club on 25 May 2004.

Hecking’s first match was a 1–1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on 9 August 2004. During the 2004–05 season, Alemannia Aachen participated in the UEFA Cup, where they got to second round when they eliminated by AZ Alkmaar.
