history

Early years (1923 to 1945)

1. FC Mülheim-Styrum goes back to the SV Viktoria Styrum club founded in October 1908 . In 1912 this merged with the Unterstyrumer Ballspielverein to form BV Viktoria Styrum , which was called Styrumer Spielverein from May 1920 . On January 30, 1923, the Styrumer Spielverein merged with the Oberhausen SV 04 to form SpVgg Oberhausen and Styrum . From this club split off on June 24, 1923 1. FC Styrum , while the remainder of the club was renamed Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in June 1923 .

The reason for the spin-off of the Styrumer was the merger between the Styrumer Spielverein and the Oberhausener SV. According to the Styrumers, the village needed its own association, as the Styrumers were not from Oberhausen . A lion , the coat of arms of Styrum Castle , was placed on the jerseys . Since then, the players have also been known as the “Styrumer Löwen”. Despite an objection from SpVgg Oberhausen and Styrum , the Styrumers were accepted into the West German Game Association in the year it was founded.

In 1934 he was promoted to the then second-class Lower Rhine district class . After the descent in 1937, the immediate rise again succeeded. The highlight was the fourth place in the 1938/39 season. Until the 1942/43 season, the club was able to maintain gaming operations in World War II .

Post-war period (1945 to 1972)

After the end of the war, a Mülheim city championship was initially played in the 1945/46 season, in which the Styrumers were runner-up behind VfB Speldorf . Then the team played in the district class; 1950 the Styrum missed by a defeat in the playoff against Westende Hamborn the jump into the state league . Two years later, he was promoted to the highest amateur league in the Lower Rhine Football Association . In the very first season the team became champions of season 3, but failed in the final round of the Niederrhein championship at Homberger SV .

In the following two seasons 1953/54 and 1954/55 the Styrumers were each runner-up of their season behind Sterkrade 06/07 , before 1956 succeeded in qualifying for the newly created Association League Niederrhein . The team was relegated from this in 1958 , and in the early 1960s they had to fight relegation for a long time. It was not until 1964 that the “Löwen” again became runner-up in the regional league behind Schwarz-Weiß Alstaden . Another runner-up came three years later, this time behind BV Altenessen 06 .

During the 1967/68 season, the Styrum fought again against relegation from the national league. Consisting of food derived Ante nominal Contractors Albert Becker took over as coach and first had a 1: 5 to accept defeat in the derby against Speldorf. But under his leadership the team got the necessary points from the remaining six games to stay in the league. In the years that followed, the team experienced a sporting boom, culminating in the National League championship in 1971. With a selectively strengthened team, the Styrumers quickly belonged to the top teams in the 1971/72 association league season and after a 2-1 win in front of 3,000 spectators against Union Ohligs they celebrated the Lower Rhine Championship .

The promotion round to the Regionalliga West followed , in which the FCM met Bonner SC , Sportfreunde Siegen and STV Horst-Emscher . With a 3-1 win over Horst-Emscher on the penultimate match day, the promotion was made perfect. In contrast to other clubs, Styrum relied on a grown team that was only strengthened selectively. Coach Becker moved to SSVg Velbert for the 1972/73 season . When he signed the contract in Velbert at the beginning of 1972, he could not have guessed that his team would make it through to the regional league.

The Mülheim football miracle (1972 to 1976)

With the promotion to the regional league, the club left the place on Moritzstrasse, as it was not allowed to play on the ashes in the regional league. The “Styrumer Löwen” played from now on in the Jahnstadion. Even in the new stadium, the team retained their home strength and reached eighth place in the 1972/73 season . The only major setback was a 1:10 defeat at Rot-Weiss Essen . Albert Becker returned for the following season and led his team to new successes after a bumpy start.

With 32: 2 points the Styrumers were the best home team and with 27: 7 points the best team in the second half of the season. Despite the fourth place, the team initially missed the qualification for the newly created 2nd Bundesliga, as they only took eleventh place in the relevant five-year ranking. But the Mülheimers were lucky: Tennis Borussia Berlin made it to the Bundesliga and since the third of the Regionalliga Berlin Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin did not move up, the FCM was accepted into the second division.

At the same time, the name Styrum was omitted more and more often and from 1975 the club was simply called 1. FC Mülheim . The club received an interest-free loan of 160,000 marks from the city of Mülheim . Coach Becker left the FCM again in the summer of 1974, as club board member Horst Witzler reassigned the coaching post and Becker was only to be assistant coach in the future. In the 1974/75 season , the Mülheimers never came in serious danger of relegation and were eleventh at the end of the season.

But the club ran into financial difficulties and had to give up numerous top performers in the summer of 1975. On the other hand, he caused a stir with the commitment of goalkeeper Manfred Manglitz , who was involved in the Bundesliga scandal . The Mülheimers fought sportily against relegation. Despite a 5-1 win against Arminia Bielefeld on the last day of the match , the league was missed because rivals Bayer 04 Leverkusen won 3-2 at the SG Wattenscheid 09 at the same time .

Decline (since 1976)

After relegation from the 2nd Bundesliga, the club, which was in debt with 1.6 million marks, was about to end. President Haustein resigned and the district court Mülheim an der Ruhr had to appoint an emergency board. For a long time it was unclear whether the club would even compete in the association league in the 1976/77 season. Finally, a team was reported that was beaten last with 9:55 points and relegated to the national league. A bankruptcy proceedings ended with a comparison , in which the creditors had to settle for a percentage of their claim.

Then Albert Becker returned to Mülheim again, he led the team back in 1979 to the now fourth-class association league. Two years later, the "Styrumer Löwen" were three points behind VfB Bottrop runner-up before they were relegated to the state league again in 1985. Ten years later, the fall in the district league followed before the club returned to the state league again in the 1996/97 season. 2001 Styrumer actually increased in the eight-year Kreisliga A from. From 2007 the club played again in the district league, from 2011 back in the district league A. In 2017, the promotion to the district league succeeded again, from which, however, in the following season they were immediately relegated to the district league A.

Stadion

In the 1970s, while it was part of paid football (two years each in the regional league and the 2nd Bundesliga), the club played its home games in the city's Ruhrstadion . The successful years (1971 champion of the regional league, 1972 champion of the association league) had still been played on the course on Moritzstrasse. At the beginning of the qualifying round for Regionalliga West, they moved to the Ruhrstadion.
