The VfL Kassel is a sports club in Kassel district Kirchditmold . The origins of the club, which today also offers taekwondo and gymnastics in addition to soccer , go back to 1886. Today's football department was founded in 1909 under the name SV Hessen 09 Cassel and is still the club's figurehead. In the 1920s, the "09ers" were among the top regional clubs and also played in the top amateur leagues in the years after the Second World War, now taking up their current club name. In the mid-1970s, VfL lost touch with the regional top teams and from then on played at the North Hessian association level . Since 2009, VfL Kassel has only been represented in the leagues of the Kassel football district and plays in the Kassel group league in 2018/19.
Club history
The football department of today's VfL has its roots in SV Hessen 09 Cassel , which was founded on February 22nd, 1909. This club soon experienced a rapid boom under Willy Albrecht, who came from the Casseler FV 95 . During the First World War, in 1917, the SV Hessen 09 merged with the gymnastics club Aelterer TV 1886 to form TuSpo 1886 Cassel . As early as 1924, this connection was broken again in the course of the “clean divorce” and the soccer team started under the old name SV Hessen 09 . On December 19, 1933, there was again a merger with the neighboring gymnasts to form TuSpo 86/09 , which lasted until the end of the Second World War. After the end of the war and the associated dissolution of the previous clubs, the SG Kirchditmold was created , on June 24, 1947 the SG and VfL Rothenditmold (formerly Spielverein 06 ) merged to form VfL Kassel . However, this merger did not last long, as early as 1948 the Spielverein 06 split off again, VfL Kassel remained under this name to this day.
history
In terms of sport, "first-class" football was offered for the first time on the recently opened square on Hochzeitsweg in the 1920/21 season. From 1922 the Kirchditmolder were an integral part of the top division Hessen-Hanover in the West German game association , the opponents at that time included local rivals SV Kurhessen , Göttingen 05 and Borussia Fulda . The Kirchditmold footballers reached their zenith at the end of the 1920s, when the team was runner-up three times in a row, in 1928/29 only two points were missing from the South season winner CSC 03 . At that time, the suburban footballers trained by Willy Albrecht played in front of more than 3,000 spectators on the home grounds.
When the structures in sport changed fundamentally in the course of the change of political power in 1933 and a comprehensive league reform was carried out in football, the “09ers” were in the midst of a personnel change that cost them the qualification for the newly introduced Gauliga Hessen the last remaining place was defeated by SV Kurhessen with 1: 2, with center forward Schrader missing a penalty. From the end of 1933 after the renewed merger with the gymnasts under the name TuSpo 86/09 , the team contracted out in the following years with a place in the lower divisions. Only in the last season of the Gauliga Kurhessen , 1943/44 , played out during the Second World War , did they take part again in a war syndicate with VfL TuRa Kassel in the top division.
After the dissolution caused by the end of the war, the association initially continued to live in the district association under the name SG Kirchditmold . Local talents such as the later national player Karl-Heinz Metzner , Henner Gibhardt, Hermann Gröll, Erich and Fritz Trott ensured that the team quickly rose to the upper classes under this name. After a high-scoring duel (6: 6, 6: 3) against TSG Wilhelmshöhe for the Kurhessenliga - after the end of the war the second highest division below the football Oberliga Süd - qualified, the black and whites soon caught up with the regional top. After the merger with the former Spielverein 06 to form VfL Kassel , they finished 6th at the end of the 1947/48 round. After that, there was a separation again, whereupon two play-offs had to decide on the place in the national league. VfL won this duel by a narrow margin (1-0, 0-0), but had to be relegated the following year, whereupon “Gala” Metzner moved to KSV Hessen . Although the direct re-promotion succeeded, but after the immediate relegation, VfL lost another top performer in Erich Trott to KSV Hessen and then lost contact with the top division.
Until 1957, the VfLer were still able to hold their own in the 2nd amateur league in Hessen, when numerous regular players then stopped, it went down to the A-class for a year. On the fourth league level, VfL fought an exciting duel with local rivals BC "Sport" for the championship in 1964/65 , in which they were defeated by the "Sportians" in a playoff for first place, so that VfL won a place in the newly formed group league Hessen had to accept. In the new fourth division, the Kirchditmolder held up until the mid-1970s. After other young talents left the club in addition to the later Bundesliga professional "Beppo" Hofeditz , VfL moved down to the B class within just four years. This was followed for many years as an elevator team in the lowest division, only in 1988/89 did they return to the second highest level in amateur football, the Landesliga Hessen . After a successful first season (6th place), he was relegated to the district league in 1991.
Only at the end of the 1990s could one hope for a promotion to the national league, which finally succeeded in 2000. In the first season after the introduction of the association instead of the regional league, in 2008/09, VfL had to return to the Kassel group league. After being able to play in the association league for another year via relegation in the 2010/11 season, the last place was followed by the final farewell to the association league, which is still today. Since then, VfL Kassel has been in the midfield of the Kassel 2 group league. The coaches changed with the leagues; while Michael Drube could not prevent relegation in the 2010/11 season, he was followed by Mario Elsasser. Together with the resignation of the previous club chairman Bernd Hoppe in March 2013, whose office was taken over by Peter Döhne, Marco Siemers took over as coach of the first soccer team. After VfL Kassel was relegated to the Kassel regional league in 2016, they were promoted to the group league again in 2018.
