The Warnsdorfer FK was a football club from the North-Bohemian Netherlands in today's Czech Republic situated Warnsdorf .
history
The Warnsdorfer Fußball Klub was founded on January 10, 1931, when DFC Warnsdorf, founded on April 13, 1907, and SK Edelgrund Warnsdorf, founded on April 27, 1912 and renamed SK Germania Warnsdorf in 1919, merged. The new major club managed to break the dominance of the Gablonzer and Reichenberg clubs in the Nordgau, but overall the more or less professional teams of DFC Prague , Teplitzer FK and DSV Saaz continued to dominate in the Sudetenland . The Warnsdorfer owe their footballing high-altitude flight in 1939 to the "annexation" of the Sudetenland to Hitler's Germany and the subsequent official abolition of professionalism.
That was the chance for Warnsdorf, who had a financially strong sponsor in the stocking manufacturer Kunert. He brought players such as the two-time CSR national player Wilhelm Nahlovsky from Teplitzer FK from disbanded or "de-professionalized" teams. The success was immediately apparent: In the 1938/39 season, the Warnsdorf team won the Sudeten German championship by beating Teplitzer FK 4-0 in the final, thus qualifying for participation in the final round of the 1939 German soccer championship . In the group matches against Dresdner SC and 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 , however, they finished last without winning a point.
But that was the end of the Warnsdorf flight. The Kunert Club became part of the new National Socialist Gymnastics Community (NSTG) and could no longer build on previous successes, even got out of the Gauliga Sudetenland in 1940 and never returned. With the end of the Second World War , the association ceased to exist.
The venue of the Warnsdorfer FK at the main station no longer exists and was built over with the Velveta works.
