history
The parent clubs
The establishment of 1. FC Recklinghausen in 1981 was preceded by several club mergers. The roots go back to the year 1905, when the 1. Recklinghäuser SpVgg Union 05 was founded in the south of the city . In the 1930s, the Union played for two years in the then first-class Gauliga Westfalen and in the 1950s they competed in the highest Westphalian amateur league for four years. In 1972 the union merged with the clubs SU Wacker Recklinghausen and Prussia Hochlarmark , which played in the highest Westphalian amateur league for six years, to form Eintracht Recklinghausen . The Eintracht in turn played from 1978 to 1981 in the then third-class Oberliga Westfalen.
In the west of the core city of Recklinghausen, FC Auguste Viktoria Hüls was founded in 1909 , which was later called FC Auguste Viktoria 1909 Recklinghausen , then FC Viktoria Recklinghausen and finally SV Viktoria Recklinghausen . The Viktoria belonged to the Gauliga Westfalen from 1933 to 1935. In 1971 Viktoria merged with the SuS Recklinghausen club , which was created in 1913 from the merger of the SK Blumenthal and SV Hibernia Recklinghausen clubs in the Ostviertel , to form SC Recklinghausen . The SC was runner-up in 1974 behind the TuS Neuenrade . In 1977 the Hohenhorst Stadium, originally built as a replacement for the Viktoria-Kampfbahn , was opened. In 1981, Eintracht and SCR merged to form 1. FC Recklinghausen.
The merger was not without controversy. The supporters of the merger only had a majority of one vote at Eintracht. At SC, almost the entire youth department changed to PSV Recklinghausen , which had just been re-established in terms of football and which also took over the Hibernia arena for the SuS.
After the merger
From the beginning, the merger association suffered from internal quarrels. Patron Hein Kerbaum from Marl , who had previously fought vehemently for the merger, was left and President Heinz Stork withdrew after the bankruptcy of his furniture store. In terms of sport, 1. FC started in the Association League and was runner-up in the 1982/83 season, two points behind ASC Schöppingen . A year later it was only enough for the runner-up in Group 1, this time one point behind FC Gohfeld . The sporting bad luck continued. In 1984 VfL Reken secured the championship in front of the Reckling houses, which now faced the amateurs of SG Wattenscheid 09 in two promotion games. A 1: 2 defeat in Wattenscheid was followed by a 3: 0 victory on their own place. However, since the league champions FC Gütersloh missed promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga , the success was worthless.
In 1985 it worked with promotion, when the 1. FCR was one point ahead of SC Verl champions. After a tenth place in the 1985/86 promotion season , relegation followed a year later as the penultimate. Back in the association league, the Recklinghauser remained unlucky. In 1988 it was enough for the runner-up again, this time behind VfB Rheine . In the relegation, the FCR won 3-1 against the amateurs of VfL Bochum and 2-1 against VfR Sölde . Since the league champions Prussia Münster missed the promotion, the Recklinghausen success in the relegation was worthless again. A year later, the team ended the association league season tied with SpVg Beckum and clearly lost the playoff for the championship in the neutral Hamm with 2: 7. In the relegation, the Reckling houses then failed because of the Bochum amateurs.
Only in 1990 succeeded in returning to the league under the manager of the time, Chittka. After another runner-up behind VfB Hüls , the FCR prevailed in the relegation after a 1-0 win against the Wattenscheid amateurs and a 3: 3 at Hammer SpVg and rose. In the promotion season 1990/91 the club reached its sporting zenith with sixth place. After that, all players, coach Berge and manager Chittka left the club. But in the following season 1. FC rose again with just 6:54 points as the knocked-down bottom of the table and had to enter the national league two years later. In spring 1996 the association went bankrupt after a tax audit and was dissolved on April 23, 1996. The association was burdened with 200,000 marks in debts, of which 120,000 marks were tax debts.

As the successor club, FC 96 Recklinghausen was founded one day later , which took over the playing rights of its insolvent predecessor and started in the district league in the 1996/97 season, but was relegated there after only three seasons and only in the 2001/02 season with 30 wins in 30 games made it back to the district league. Two years later, he was promoted to the regional league and in 2007 to the association league, which has been called the Westphalia league since 2008. In the 2009/10 season, the team reached third place. During the season, the club took out an interest-free loan of 50,000 euros from a player's agent, which the club could not repay in full.
As a consequence, on December 14, 2011, the association filed an application to initiate insolvency proceedings . The bankruptcy proceedings were opened in March 2012. Parallel to the financial difficulties, FC 96 also went downhill in terms of sport. Three relegations in a row led the club in 2013 to the district league A, before it went down to the district league B four years later. In 2018 he was promoted to the district league A.
