history

The parent clubs (1912 to 1946)

In 1912, the two parent clubs of today's TSV Marl-Hüls were formed. On April 30, 1912, the Hüls gymnastics club was founded. The second parent club was the SuS Drewer-Süd, founded on August 1, 1912 . The latter was founded by mates from the Auguste Victoria colliery who were on strike . In 1920 both clubs merged to form TSV Hüls-Drewer , which from July 1922 simply called itself TSV Hüls . On November 5, 1922, this association split into SuS Hüls and TV Hüls as part of the clean divorce . Both clubs merged again on September 29, 1946 to form TSV Hüls. In terms of sport, the footballers were rather insignificant and played in the lower leagues.

Post-war period (1946 to 1960)

After the Second World War, the former national player Fritz Szepan took over as coach. In 1949 he led the Hüls team to the championship in the Recklinghausen district class and to promotion to the Westphalia regional league , at the time the highest Westphalian amateur league. In the 1950/51 promotion season , TSV was third behind SpVgg Röhlinghausen and TuRa Bergkamen . In 1953 , the Hülser were in the now five-track national league champions of their season in front of local rivals SpVg Marl . In the following final round of the Westphalia Championship, TSV took second place behind VfB 03 Bielefeld .

At the same time, the club anthem composed by Adolf Sokallis was created, from which the TSV team's nickname " Blue Sparks" is derived. A year later , TSV secured the Westphalia Championship without losing points by two points ahead of Sportfreunde Siegen and finally prevailed against VfL Benrath and SC Rapid Köln in the promotion round to the II. Division . At the same time, TSV also played for the German Amateur Championship , where the Hülser made it to the finals under the coach Heinz Werlein from Dülmen via the stations Benrath, Cologne, Eintracht Nordhorn and Phoenix Lübeck .

That took place on June 26, 1954 in the Gelsenkirchen Glückauf-Kampfbahn in front of 18,000 spectators. Hüls won the title with a 6-1 win against Spvgg. 03 Neu-Isenburg . Gerhard Schweinsberg scored three times alone. What was remarkable about the team was that all players came from the Hüls district. The city of Marl wanted to help TSV jump into the contract players' camp and offered the club a loan of 30,000 marks . In return, the city asked for the club to be renamed TSV Marl-Hüls. The matter was particularly controversial among the members with ties to their homeland, who felt themselves to be Hülser, but not Marler. In the vote on June 26, 1954, the necessary majority for the renaming was only found in the third attempt.

After the Hülser in the promotion season 1954/55 had to tremble for a long time to avoid relegation, the team stabilized in the following seasons. In 1957 the "Blue Sparks" were already fifth and came among other things to an 11-0 victory on the last day of the game against the Rheydter Spielverein . Goal scorer Gerhard Schweinsberg was the top scorer in the league with 27 goals . A year later , as third with one point behind runner-up Borussia Mönchengladbach, the promotion was just missed. The breakthrough came in the 1959/60 season . After a 4-1 win on the last day of the match in Rheydt, the Hülser team, under coach Eugen Gall , had a 0.125 better goal quotient than Wuppertaler SV with the same points and were promoted to runner-up in what was then the first-class Oberliga West. For the first time, the city of Marl was represented in the then first-class Oberliga West.

Between the upper and association leagues (1960 to 1972)

There the team, which now also includes foreign players, played against relegation from the first whistle. In the first season of 1960/61 , the sleeves reached twelfth place. The highlight of the season was a 2-1 win at FC Schalke 04 on April 23, 1961 in front of 15,000 spectators at the Marler Jahn Stadium. The mining crisis in the region prevented a further sporting upturn, so that in the following season 1961/62 it was only enough for 14th place. For the 1962/63 league season, the TSV evaded because of the conversion of the Jahn Stadium into the Gerhard Jüttner Stadium . The team, trained by the future globetrotter Rudi Gutendorf , was the only team in the Oberliga West that had not applied for the newly created Bundesliga in 1963 and ended the season as the bottom of the table. The lowest points were the 11-1 defeat at Borussia Dortmund and the riots after the 2-1 home defeat against Mönchengladbach.

The TSV spoke of a "planned relegation". The club wanted to calmly prepare for a possible promotion to the Bundesliga in the regional league. But it shouldn't come to that. In the 1963/64 season the TSV finished fourth and welcomed another 10,000 spectators to the derby against SpVgg Herten . In a very short time the Hülser lost almost all top performers. Since Alemannia Aachen in particular signed many players from TSV, the Aachen fans sang mockingly: "We don't need a Seeler, no roar because we all buy players from Marl-Hüls." . Finally, in 1970, the team had to go into the association league. The average attendance had fallen to 1,500.

In 1972 the TSV was runner-up in season 1 behind the STV Horst-Emscher . In the second half of the season the “Blauen Funken” remained undefeated and now had to play two playoffs to participate in the German Amateur Championship . After a 2-2 win at SSV Hagen , the Hülsern qualified with a 1-0 win in the second leg. TSV reached the semi-finals via Werder Bremen Amateurs and MTV Ingolstadt , where they met SC Jülich . The Jülich had recently become amateur champions three times in a row, but lost the first leg in Marl 6-0. But Jülich won the second leg 6-0 after extra time . In the penalty shootout , the TSV finally prevailed and moved into the final that took place on July 8, 1972 in neutral Neuwied . The Hülser went through Ernst Schulte-Kellinghaus 1-0 against FSV Frankfurt in the lead before the Frankfurters could equalize. Ex-professional Horst Trimhold scored the winning goal for FSV in the 90th minute.

Decline (1972 to 2010)

The decline of mining made itself more and more noticeable at TSV Marl-Hüls. The connections to the Auguste Victoria colliery also lost importance. 1972 was the club chairman Manfred Karjan, who as Steiger worked in the coal mine, the last "avler" at the club. Due to declining audience numbers, the club had to give up its top performers year after year. In 1973 and 1974 there were still fourth places before the sport went downhill. At the end of the 1975/76 season , the "Blue Sparks" could only leave the beaten VfB 03 Bielefeld behind and were relegated to the fourth-class regional league. Two years later the TSV returned to the association league together with local rivals SpVg Marl . Both clubs benefited from the fact that in the course of the introduction of the Oberliga Westfalen there was an increased promotion from the state league.

After several years in the middle of the table, the Hülser reached third place in the 1983/84 season, four points behind VfL Reken . A year later, the team reached fourth place. Finally in 1987 the relegation followed after a 0-1 defeat in the playoff against Teutonia Lippstadt in neutral Werne . Since the SpVg Marl rose to the Oberliga Westfalen at the same time , the SpVg took on the sporting leadership role in the city. In 1989 and 1990, the SpVg offered TSV Marl-Hüls a club merger, which the Hülsern refused both times. Instead, the Hülser tried in the 1989/90 season with great financial outlay to force the association league promotion. However, the legionnaires rose to the district league after a 0-1 play-off defeat against Blau Weiß Wulfen .

In the meantime, after being promoted to the Oberliga Westfalen in 1994, VfB Hüls became number one in Marl. From 1998 TSV Marl-Hüls gave another guest appearance in the regional league and again reached fourth place in the 1999/2000 season. But just three years later, the national league era ended with relegation from the bottom of the table. A district league era followed, in which the team mostly ended up in the front midfield without having had any serious opportunities for promotion. Only in 2005 did the “Blauen Funken” fight against relegation to the district league A. Also in 2005, TSV Marl-Hüls left the Jahnstadion, which was in need of renovation, and from then on played in the Loekampstadion, their previous training facility.

Sports renaissance and bankruptcy (2010 to 2019)

For the 2010/11 season, Holger Flossbach took over the coaching position at TSV Marl-Hüls, while Lothar Gedenk, the managing director of a recycling company, became department head. In his very first season, Flossbach was able to lead his team to the championship after TSV won a 3-2 win over pursuers SV Vestia Disteln in front of around 1,800 spectators on the last matchday . In the national league season 2011/12, the team immediately reached fourth place and qualified for the promotion round to the association league. There TSV defeated SV Rothemühle first on penalties , with TSV goalkeeper Marwin Gedenk holding three penalties. After a 2-0 win in the final against SC Herford in the neutral Ahlener Wersestadion , the Hülser made the march into the Westphalia League perfect.

After a sixth place in the 2012/13 promotion season, TSV switched to season 2 for the following season and went into the 2013/14 winter break as the leader of the table. In the second half of the season, however, the team collapsed after striker Christian Erwig's injury-related failure and ended the season in fourth place. In October 2014, coach Holger Flossbach was sacked, although his team finished second. Michael Cabinet took over the team and led the Hülser to the championship and promotion to the Oberliga Westfalen. After a ninth place in the promotion season 2015/16 , TSV played a year later for promotion to the regional league. In April 2017, the club was targeted by the Bochum tax investigation : players' salaries are said to have not been properly taxed. Head of department Lothar Gedenk then resigned from his position. Nevertheless, the team finished fourth, but at the end of the season lost the two goal scorers Sebastian Westerhoff and Michael Smykacz, who together scored 40 goals.

In September 2017, the entire board of the football department resigned due to differences of opinion with the club's management. Coach Michael closet also gave up his post, while the players received a promise to leave the club, which was in a difficult sporting and financially stricken position, on January 1, 2018, free of charge. Finally, on October 6, 2017, the club withdrew the team from the league with immediate effect after the players rejected the proposal to forego part of their salaries in order to be able to continue playing until the winter break. In the 2018/19 season, the club continued in the Westphalia League. On January 14, 2019, the association filed for bankruptcy . Two months later, the TSV withdrew its team from the current season, which means a forced relegation to the district league C according to the game rules.

Present (since 2019)

The insolvency proceedings led to the dissolution of the association, which was re-established as TSV Marl-Hüls in 2019. Through the championship of the formerly second team in the district league C, TSV was able to make a fresh start in the district league B.

Stadion

TSV Marl-Hüls has played its home games in the Loekamp Stadium since 2005 . The club had previously used the stadium as a training facility. During the 2004/05 season the facility was modernized and the cinder pit was provided with artificial turf . Two years later, the Loekamp Stadium was given a roofed grandstand with 156 seats. The Loekampstadion is a pure football stadium without a running track. An official audience capacity has not yet been determined. The club house of TSV Marl-Hüls is located in a container next to the stadium.

Previously, the club wore its home games for a long time in the 25,000-seater Jahnstadion out. In 1924 the club moved into what was then called the Jahnsportplatz , which had to be abandoned in 2005 due to its dilapidation. Between 1962 and 1964, the Jahnsportplatz was expanded into the Jahnstadion. During this time, TSV moved to the Gerhard Jüttner Stadium , which was demolished in 2011.
