history

Foundation and early years

The club was founded on April 26, 1906, but it was not until 1923 that they played on their own sports field. The opening game against the football club Amberg , today's FC Amberg , brought the Hersbruckers a 3-2 success.

In the 1920s, after the championship of the B-class, the promotion to the A-class took place. In 1925, the club won against Eibach 07 the championship of division 11 in the Nuremberg district. In the first game against FC Stein for the A-Class Gaume Championship , 1. FC Hersbruck, also known for short as FC , won a victory, but lost in the decisive playoff in the second leg.

Post-war years

Under the Allied military laws, all association activities ceased. However, as early as autumn 1945, a number of steadfast members of the association came together at the “Gärtlein” inn to discuss the measures necessary for the revival of football in Hersbruck. The result of this meeting was that the application for re-admission of 1. FC Hersbruck was submitted to the military government. The license was granted in early 1946. Regular gaming operations soon resumed.

The Bavarian State Sports Association was also constituted, and its professional associations actively campaigned for the revival of sporting ideas throughout the country. The new organization also brought a new class division in the field of football. The FC was assigned the district class 11 due to the previous strength. The opponents were other clubs in the Pegnitz Valley , such as Auerbach , Reichenschwand , Schnaittach , Pommelsbrunn , Happurg and Vorra .

In the following year, 1947, the right to play for the next higher class took place, as 1. FC Hersbruck again had a powerful team available. Here, too, the FC got involved and secured membership of the A-Class. After the promotion seemed almost certain in the game years 1949/50 and 1950/51, but the team was always intercepted immediately before the goal, they succeeded in the third attempt, in the game year 1951/52. The great camaraderie and not least the work of the coach Scherm, who was signed up in the spring of 1951, made this success possible.

Promotion to the Bayern League and centenary club anniversary

In the game year 1958/59 the championship in the 2nd amateur league was achieved and thus promotion to the Bayern league . There, 1. FC Hersbruck celebrated home wins against the Würzburger Kickers , 1. FC Bayreuth and VfB Coburg in 1959/60 . The future champions, 1. FC Lichtenfels , were even defeated 3-1 away from home. At the end of the season, the FC just missed relegation. Only the worse goal difference made the difference. Even a single-digit place in the table was only missing three points. A year later, however, thanks to the fighting spirit and solidarity, the Hersbruckers managed to get promoted back to the Bayern League. In the 1961/62 season , for example, the Würzburger Kickers could be beaten again, and with SpVgg Büchenbach even the later champions, but relegation followed again. In 1961 the new sports facility on Happurger Strasse was inaugurated. In the opening game, 1. FC Hersbruck, also known as the smaller club , competed against the championship team of 1. FC Nürnberg . Accordingly, the game became a clear affair and the big club won against the small one with 13: 1. Nevertheless, they were proud at FC and the following day you could read the following in the Hersbrucker Zeitung :

"A yellow leather ball, two representative mayors, three referees and linesmen dressed in black, four bouquets of flowers, five bulging money bags, six exhausted cashiers, seven policemen, two eleven players, fourteen goals, half a hundred autograph hunters, about 1,000 vehicles 5000 spectators, flags ... and above everything a shining sun - that is the telegram balance of the 'event of the year', as club chairman Ludwig Reiss called the 'big game' on Tuesday evening. "

In the 1965/66 season, the club finally rose to the district league, in 1969 there was another descent to the A-class. In the season 1988/89 the championship in the district league could be celebrated. The small club played there again when the club's 100th anniversary was celebrated in 2006.

Since 2006

From the beginning of the 2007/2008 season, FC played in the regional league of Middle Franconia. They stayed there for 5 seasons in a row. The ex-professional footballer Reinhold Daschner took up his first coaching position in Hersbruck in 2007 and barely missed promotion to the national league with the team in the following season . Harald Gerstner replaced Daschner as trainer in October 2009. Later, the ex took Cluberer and second division players Tobias mouse as coach. Shortly before the winter break of 2012, the little club dismissed Maus and signed Marcus Thiem as a new coach. Thiem then resigned from his duties in September and initially the previous assistant coach Robert Bohner took over the coaching position. In the 2017/18 season, coach Stefan Erhardt led FC to second place in the district league and thus to the relegation place. In the relegation to promotion to the regional league, however, the Hersbruckers ultimately failed.

Sports facility

1. FC Hersbruck has had its own sports facility since 1923. But since the small club increased enormously in members in the 1950s and there were also major sporting successes, the old sports field on Happurger Strasse was no longer sufficient. The previously leased space in the “Schnödi” was purchased in 1957 and repaired. However, the site was still not large enough to meet the requirements. In 1958 an adjacent property was acquired. The old sports field on Happurger Strasse was sold. After thorough planning, the expansion of the new site, also located in the area of ​​Happurger Strasse between the old town and the Ostbahn district, was tackled and an attractive changing room was built. Members volunteered a total of 3,566 hours. The renovation of the B-Platz was carried out before 1961 and the A-Platz was already playable in 1962. The sports facility on Happurger Strasse now holds 3000 spectators. After having been called the Alexander von Heyking sports facility for decades , it is currently called the SIG Sportpark as part of the sale of the naming rights .
