Football in Essen
The football in Essen celebrated his greatest successes in the 1950s , when Rot-Weiss Essen in the season 1952/53 the German Cup and two years later the German football championship won. As the German champion of 1955, RWE was also the first German club to take part in the 1955/56 European championship championship competition , which was held for the first time in 1955/56 , alongside 1. FC Saarbrücken , which competed for the then still independent Saarland . At the end of the same decade, city rivals Schwarz-Weiß Essen were also able to win the DFB Cup in 1959 as a second division team at the time. Thus, Essen is the only city besides Munich from which two clubs have already been able to perpetuate themselves in the list of winners of the DFB Cup.
history
The origins of football in Essen lie in the affluent south of the city, where the oldest football club in Essen was founded in 1899 with the Essener SV 1899 . Just one year later, a football department was brought into being at the Essener Turnerbund Schwarz-Weiß, which was founded in 1881 and also has a bourgeois-elitist focus . In the years before the First World War, their teams represented the city of Essen in the games of the Rhine-Ruhr Group for the West German football championship . After the great war, the “workers' associations” from the north of the city were added. So throughout the 1920s , in addition to ESV and ETB, the Altenessen- based clubs BV Altenessen 06 and Preußen Essen were represented in the Ruhr district of the West German soccer championships. The big rivals at that time were the ETB Schwarz-Weiß, which provided the most successful Essen team eleven times in the 14 seasons between 1920 and 1933 , and BV Altenessen, which did three best. The later most successful Essen team from Rot-Weiss rose to the top division for the first time in 1930 , but was relegated two years later .
In the Gauliga Niederrhein introduced in 1933/34 , the Essen clubs ETB Schwarz-Weiß and BV Preußen Altenessen started. However, the team formed from a syndicate between BV Altenessen 06 and Prussia Essen was immediately relegated, so that in the following years Black and White was the only Essen club to be represented in the Gauliga. With the rise of Rot-Weiss in the 1938/39 season , the foundation stone was laid for the great rivalry between the ETB Schwarz-Weiß, which was decried as the “patent shoe club”, and the Rot-Weiss “workers' association” founded in Vogelheim and located in neighboring Bergeborbeck since 1923 . In between, in the early 1940s, the TuS Helene Essen colliery association, also based in Altenessen , succeeded in penetrating the phalanx of what would later become the two largest Essen teams and even outstripping them several times in those years. In her first season in 1940/41 , TuS Helene even managed to qualify for the final round of the German football championship , which only two Essen clubs had previously achieved: Schwarz-Weiß 1925 and district rivals BV Altenessen 06 1926 , both of which had failed at FSV Frankfurt .
After the Second World War, representing Sportfreunde Katernberg from the located in the northeast district of interest Katernberg the city together with Rot-Weiss in the early years of the Oberliga West . In the opening season 1947/48 of the football Oberliga West, Sportfreunde were not only the only Essen club in the league, but also became runner-up with only two points behind Borussia Dortmund . But in the following seasons, after his promotion to the 1948/49 season, the neighbor Rot-Weiss established himself as the new number 1 in Essen and between 1950 and 1955 reached a total of three final rounds of the German football championship , which she successfully played in the last case (1955) completed the title. After the rise of the neighbor ETB Schwarz-Weiß in the 1951/52 season and the permanent relegation of the Sportfreunde Katernberg after the end of the 1952/53 season , the old and still existing rivalry between red-white and black-white quickly developed. But Rot-Weiss initially remained the undisputed number one because the Red-Whites were not only always better placed than their unloved neighbor from the south, but because the ETB was relegated at the end of the 1956/57 season and Rot-Weiss in both the following seasons was the only Essen club in the league. In 1961 , of all times , when the ETB succeeded in returning to the Oberliga ( again after 1959 ), Rot-Weiss rose from the Oberliga , so that Black-White became the top division in the last two seasons of Oberliga West (before the introduction of the Bundesliga for the 1963/64 season ) was the only representative of Essen in the league.
When the new second-rate regional football league West was introduced in the 1963/64 season , the two Essen rivals (red-white and black-white) were represented in the league together, until Rot-Weiss was promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time three years later succeeded, which the city rival Black and White narrowly missed the following year . So the two Essen rivals spent the next two seasons ( 1967/68 and 1968/69 ) together again in the Regionalliga West, before Rot-Weiss again succeeded in promotion to the Bundesliga, in which the team between 1969 and 1977 a total of six more Seasons spent.
Although SC Rot-Weiss has never played in the Bundesliga again since 1977, there have only been a total of 7 seasons since then, in which the "workers' club" from the north and the "patent shoe club" from the south played in the same league because the ETB After the last joint second division season in 1977/78, Black and White withdrew into the amateur field for financial reasons. The sporting low point of the traditional Essen derby rivalry was the encounter between the two clubs in the fifth-class NRW League 2010/11 .
In the 2010s, RWE temporarily emerged as a new rival, FC Kray from the Kray district in northeast Essen , which had already won the Essen City Cup in 1996 (with a 2-1 final victory over RWE). Between 2012 and 2016 , FC Kray spent a total of three seasons in the West Regional Football League and possibly set a new inner-city record in the 2014/15 season when it was able to prevail in both derbies against the once overpowering city rivals RWE, which apparently before no other city rival had ever succeeded. Nevertheless, RWE was always better placed in the final tables of each season than FC Kray and there was no real rivalry insofar as many members and supporters of FC Kray are traditionally fans of RWE. Within just one year of relegation from the regional league, FC Kray crashed into the sixth-class football regional league Niederrhein and is thus one class lower than the ETB black and white, the classic rival of the red and white.

As already mentioned, the clash between SC Rot-Weiss and ETB Schwarz-Weiss has been the most important derby in Essen football since the 1950s at the latest. Below is an overview of all competitive games between these two clubs since 1950:

Records (since 1950)
The highest derby victories of both clubs (at least since 1950) result from the 1952/53 season , when the SC Rot-Weiss cleared the black and white with 8: 1 and they retaliated with 4: 2 in the second leg, their only one (since 1950) Success with more than a goal difference. The highest-scoring game with a total of 11 goals was a 6-5 win for SC Rot-Weiss in the 1972/73 season . Of the total of 44 competitive derbies (42 league game derbies and 2 cup games) that the two rivals fought between 1951 and 2011, SC Rot-Weiss was able to decide 25 in its favor, while the ETB Schwarz-Weiss only came out six times as the winner. The remaining 13 games ended in a draw.
The above-mentioned 8: 1 record home win of the Red-Whites was preceded by a collapsed goal, which is why the point game originally played on September 21, 1952 in the stadium on Hafenstrasse had to be canceled when the score was 1: 1 in the 37th minute. This happened immediately after the black and white equalizer, when their midfielder Günter Friesenhagen rushed into the goal net and brought the gate rod to collapse. The game was rescheduled for December 25, 1952 and ended with the historically high victory of the red-whites.
World Cup participant
So far, three soccer players who are currently under contract with Rot-Weiss Essen have participated in a soccer world championship for the German national team. The best known of them today is probably Helmut Rahn , who scored a total of 10 World Cup goals and is thus one of the most successful German World Cup goal scorers. He scored his two most important and most remembered goals in the final of the 1954 World Cup against the favored Hungarian national team . After the Hungarians had already led 2-0 after 8 minutes and Max Morlock had scored the next goal in the tenth minute, Rahn equalized in the 18th minute and scored the winner in the 84th minute. The words of German radio commentator Herbert Zimmermann in connection with the winning goal are unforgotten and repeated countless times : “Rahn should shoot from the background - Rahn shoots! - Tooooor! Tooooor! Tooooor! Tooooor! ... goal for Germany - left-footed shot by Rahn. "
Together with his teammates at RWE at the time, goalkeeper Fritz Herkenrath and defender Heinz Wewers , Rahn , who was trained at SV Altenessen , was also part of the German World Cup squad for the 1958 World Cup . Rahn played all 6 World Cup games of the German national team (in which he scored as many goals), Herkenrath guarded the goal five times and Wewers was used once. Because Herkenrath was not used in the game for third place, which Wewers was allowed to contest, two RWE players were used in all games of the 1958 World Cup. Players from other Essen clubs were not used at the time of their respective club membership.
But there were also other World Cup players who started their careers in Essen. So was Horst Hrubesch , vice world champion in 1982 , his first professional contract in 1975 at Rot-Weiss Essen and even previously worked as a roofer. Even Frank Mill , World Cup champion in 1990 , received his first professional contract in 1976 with RWE, and Mesut Özil , World Cup champion in 2014 , came the age of eleven in the youth development at RWE, where he was trained for 5 years, before moving on to neighbors FC Schalke 04 changed.
Oliver Bierhoff , who had actively participated in the soccer world championships in 1998 and 2002 , was trained in the youth departments of the Essen SG 99/06 and the ETB Schwarz-Weiß Essen. Jens Lehmann also played in the youth division of the ETB Schwarz-Weiß from 1978 to 1987 , who had played all 6 games of the German team at the 2006 home World Cup up to the lost semi-final against Italy . Goalkeeper Heinz Kubsch , who was also part of the 1954 World Cup squad, was trained by Sportfreunde in Katernberg and was under contract with them until 1953 before he moved to FK Pirmasens . In the 1950/51 season he played together with Helmut Rahn (before he switched to RWE) for Sportfreunde Katernberg.
Furthermore, one of the most successful German trainers, Otto Rehhagel , who was born in Essen, was trained in the junior division of TuS Helene Altenessen and also played in its first team from 1957 to 1960 before he moved to SC Rot-Weiss in 1960. After winning the European Football Championship as national coach of Greece in 2004 , he also looked after the Hellenes at the 2010 Football World Cup .
