The 1st Soccer Club Schweinfurt 1905, Verein für Leibesübungen e. V (short: 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 ) is a sports club from Schweinfurt founded in 1905 . The club is called in other short forms Schweinfurt 05 , FC 05 or 05er and with the nickname Schnüdel (or the Schnüdel ). It offers football , netball , fistball , hockey , badminton , gymnastics , rugby , American football , futsal and athletics .

1. FC Schweinfurt 05 is one of the traditional German clubs. It is probably the only better-known football club that has not changed the club name or coat of arms and has been playing in the same, completely intact stadium since before the war, the Willy Sachs Stadium from 1936. The football team of FC 05 had its greatest time so far in the 1930s until the 1970s. The club took part in the finals of the German soccer championship in 1939 and 1942 as champions of the Gauliga Bayern and reached the cup semi-finals against FC Schalke 04 in 1936 . In contrast to 1860 Munich and Bayern Munich , 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 is one of the few clubs that were continuously represented in the Oberliga Süd , which existed from 1945 to 1963, and which comprised all of southern Germany and Hesse with only 16 teams and in its time was the strongest league in Germany. After 32 years, FC 05 became second class for the first time in 1963 without relegation, as a result of the introduction of the Bundesliga , for which it could not qualify. In 1974, FC 05 became a founding member of the 2nd Bundesliga and twice, in 1966 and 1975 , was on the verge of promotion to the Bundesliga.

With the national players Albin Kitzinger and Andreas 'Ander' Kupfer , the club provided the world's best footballers on the outside runner position in the late 1930s . Both players participated in the 1938 FIFA World Cup in France in part and came in the same year as the only German representative in the first FIFA - continent selection in football history used in the game against England . Andreas Kupfer was the first captain of the national soccer team of the newly founded Federal Republic of Germany , in the game against Switzerland in 1950 .

The first team of FC Schweinfurt 05, which has played in the fourth-class Bavarian regional league since the 2013/14 season , was spun off into 1. FC Schweinfurt 1905 Fußball GmbH in 2016 , where the e. V., who always has the majority of votes to maintain the 50 + 1 rule , another shareholder is involved. This was accompanied by the switch to full profit, with the aim of moving up to the third division in the foreseeable future .

1. FC Schweinfurt 05 was founded on May 5, 1905. The first chairman of the association was Pepi Popp, who also designed the association's logo, which is still valid and unchanged today. The members came mainly from the middle class, among whom football was practiced as a fashion sport at the time . It was not until the 1920s that football reached the working class. A meadow left by the city on the Hutrasen, south of the Main, served as a sports field . From 1919 a new sports field was available nearby, at Ludwigsbrücke. After relegation from the (Franconian) "League", the continued existence of the club was uncertain, and from February 1921 to September 19, 1923, the TG 1848 Schweinfurt was joined.

With the opening of the Willy Sachs Stadium in the north-western part of the city , FC 05 had its new clubhouse and also spacious training grounds, embedded in a new, exemplary sports park ( see: Stadium ). Not far from the new stadium, the two large working-class districts Bergl and Musikerviertel were built from the 1930s to the 1960s . At least now, the FC 05, in contrast to the larger TG 1848, was developing in the direction of a workers' football club in an industrial city, similar to FC Schalke 04 . As a tribute to the workers' club, the motto We work football was recently created.

On the first sports field of FC 05, the domicile of city rival VfR 07 Schweinfurt was built from 1928 , who was represented there in the stadium on Hutrasen from 1939 to 1941 at the same time as the 05ers in the then top German division Gauliga Bayern . In the Gaugruppe to Tschammerpokal the year 1940 the VfR defeated the FC 05 with 4: 2 and reached up to the second Cup final round against the cup winners of 1938 and later German champions SK Rapid Wien . The VfR 07 was the sporting home of the future German national player Andreas Kupfer until 1933 and had a national player in its ranks in Robert Bernard . After the war, Bernhard also switched to FC 05, which increasingly assimilated VfR in a sporting way, which made it irrelevant at national level in the 1940s.

Hans Deckert was important for the development of FC 05 and the South German Football Association after the war . He acted as president of FC 05 in the 1950s and was a member of the DFB board and chairman of the DFB game committee until the 1970s . Today, however, his name is also criticized because, on the one hand, as a CSU member and Schweinfurt city councilor , he held leading positions in the Lower Franconian district assembly and received high awards for his political and sporting commitment, including as an honorary member of the DFB (1975), the former member of On the other hand, the NSDAP was also considered a member of a "brown rope team" of the DFB ("Der Spiegel").

The entire second half of the 20th century took place for FC 05 as a club, apart from a few sporting turbulence with the usual financial risks in football, without any particular cuts. In the summer of 2004, however, the then President Gerhard Hertlein was no longer able to prove the financial capacity of the association. The DFB refused the regional league license, which led to the forced relegation to the Bayern league .

After a few years of unsuccessful sport between the Bayernliga and Landesliga-Nord, the Flyeralarm company showed great interest in getting involved with the then Bayernliga bottom club FC 05, hiving off the first team from the club and returning it to professional football . After a local internet portal reported a connection between Flyeralarm managing director Tanja Hammerl and the controversial universal life community in Würzburg , controversies arose on the board of the association and finally the decision to abandon the Flyeralarm offer. The founder and owner of Flyeralarm, Thorsten Fischer, then got involved in the Main Franconian competitor FC Würzburger Kickers .

Under the current president and main sponsor Markus Wolf, the association has consolidated itself financially and has become free of bank debts. FC 05 now got back into calm waters in terms of sport, with 2019-21 the seventh season in a row in the same league ( regional league ) and the goal of promotion to the 3rd football league .

History of the football department

Overview

The history of the football department of 1. FC 05 Schweinfurt reflects the history of German football, including insights into the time of National Socialism and the Second World War . With FC 05, Schweinfurt was one of the classic Franconian football cities alongside Nuremberg and Fürth . This was made possible by the support of local large-scale industry ( see: picture of the club's motto ), initially by Fichtel & Sachs , and in the 1970s by FAG Kugelfischer .

The FC 05 was able to assert itself with its football team without interruption for more than three decades (1931-1963) in the respective top national league. The big breakthrough, with national titles, came despite several national players, with the two world-class players Ander Kupfer and Albin Kitzinger not, also because the Second World War fell in the middle of their careers . At the beginning of the 1950s, people were still drawing on the sporting substance of the great times, but ten years later they were already fighting against relegation from the top division Oberliga Süd . They could no longer qualify for the Bundesliga , which was introduced in 1963 , and were second class after 32 years.

The world-class outside runners Albin Kitzinger and Andreas Kupfer

Andreas Kupfer (left) and Albin Kitzinger

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, FC Schweinfurt 05 had two of the world's best outside runners in their ranks, Albin Kitzinger and Andreas Kupfer . Kitzinger came from the youth of the 05er and remained loyal to them throughout his career, while Kupfer switched from local rivals VfR 07 Schweinfurt to FC 05 in 1933 .

Both players completed 44 international matches for Germany in their career and were part of the legendary Breslau-Elf of 1937. The following year they were appointed to the German squad for the 1938 World Cup in France. In the first world team in football history, which the Italian world champion coach Vittorio Pozzo put together as the European football team for the game against England on October 26, 1938 in Highbury in London, the two native Schweinfurters were the only players from Germany to play.

In 1939, the kicker ruled the Schweinfurt outrunner pair Kitzinger – Kupfer with the following comments: “One would like to say: They were virtually created for the modern game. As partners and as individuals, they are unequaled in Europe. "

In 1993, Hermann E. Fischer describes Andreas Kupfer in a book about the Oberliga-Süd with the words:

“Seeing other copper in action was often a real pleasure. Well versed in defense and forward thrust alike, he knew how to stroke the ball, and it obeyed him. Great stamina gave the left-footer on the right side many advantages [...] His uncompromising toughness was proverbial and many opponents felt it, including Helmut Schön in the final rounds of the Dresdner SC with the 05ers in 1939. "

- Hermann E. Fischer : The history of the Oberliga Süd 1945–1963

Helmut Schön , Kupfer's teammate in the national team from 1937 to 1941, attributed the following characteristics to the outside runner in 1978 in his memoirs:

“Other than Kupfer as outside runner was a player who would definitely have a regular place in midfield today; I would have been glad to have had such a man with me in Argentina. When he was playing behind me, with his hardness, his skill, his speed, then I felt absolutely safe in front. Copper's left leg was stronger than the right; if he ran with the ball from right to center, he gave diagonally with his left foot templates on the right wing, which tore everything open. A gifted player. "

- Helmut Schön : football. memories

In his last international match on November 22, 1950 at the Neckar Stadium in Stuttgart against Switzerland in front of 103,000 spectators, Andreas Kupfer was the first captain of the newly founded Federal Republic of Germany 's national soccer team .

The club's greatest successes were reaching the cup semi-finals in 1936 against FC Schalke 04 , which they lost 3-2 in Gelsenkirchen, and the championships in the first-class Gauliga Bayern in 1939 and 1942, each combined with participation in the final German championship. In the German championship in 1939 , the first so-called Greater German Championship , after the annexations of Austria and the Sudetenland , the 05ers missed the semifinals against Schalke 04 by a wafer. Due to the ongoing Nazi expansion, the German championship in 1942 was almost like a Central European championship, now too nor with Alsace , Lorraine , Luxembourg , Bohemia and Moravia . The 05er failed in Strasbourg in the round of 16 against SG SS Strasbourg with 1: 2.

After the war, the heyday of FC 05 at (inter) national level was over. The greatest successes were now the championship in the Regionalliga Süd in 1966 (at that time 2nd division) and in 1975 3rd place in the newly founded 2nd Bundesliga South . In 1990 and 2001, the leap into the now single-track 2nd Bundesliga was made again , from which they were relegated after only one season.

1905–1933: From the C-Class to the Gauliga Bayern

Up until the beginning of the First World War , the company was promoted from the C to the B to the A class. After only one season (1919/20) in the first-class Northern Bavarian regional league (including 1. FC Nürnberg , SpVgg Fürth , 1. FC 01 Bamberg , Würzburger Kickers ), they had to relegate. From 1925, FC 05 played in the Lower Franconia district league . The high point at that time was the deciding game for the championship against local rivals VfR 07 Schweinfurt, won 4-1 on a neutral pitch in Bamberg in front of over 1000 spectators in 1929 .

The promotion to the district league (Northern Bavaria), which was the highest class at the time, was not achieved until 1931. Third place in the district league behind 1. FC Nürnberg and SpVgg Fürth brought qualification for the newly created Gauliga Bayern in 1933 .

1933–1945: Gauliga Bayern

An important milestone for the football department was the opening of the Willy Sachs Stadium in 1936, which survived the war unscathed, with numerous training grounds and in municipal custody, but with first use rights for FC 05 ( see: Stadium ).

Picture album Gauliga Bayern

When the Schweinfurt national players Andreas Kupfer and Albin Kitzinger were in top form, the team won the Bavarian championship title for the first time in the 1938/39 season , making it into the finals of the German football championship for the first time in the club's history . There, the FC 05 failed in the group stage only by a narrow margin at the same point Dresdner SC ( see: Introduction, history of the football department ). In the war year 1941/42 , FC 05 won the Gaumeist title again, but were eliminated in the final round of the German football championship in the first match in the round of 16 against SG SS Strasbourg .

In the 1942/43 season , due to the war, the Gauliga was divided into a north and south group due to lack of fuel in order to shorten the routes. At that time, Franconia was the Bavarian football stronghold and the northern group was much stronger, in which the 05er came second after the dominant club from Nuremberg. From 1943 on, the FC 05 team entered a war syndicate with the Luftwaffe SV Schweinfurt as KSG Schweinfurt . In the 1944/45 season , German football collapsed due to the war, and there was no longer a German championship. The Gauliga Bayern was now divided into a total of 6 groups in order to shorten the distances even further, but in many places the game no longer began. The Schnudel ended up in the Lower Franconia district with only four teams (1. FC Schweinfurt 05, VfR 07 Schweinfurt , Würzburger FV 04 and Würzburger Kickers ). It is not known whether there were any games in this group. A championship could only be played in the Gau Munich / Upper Bavaria .

1945–1963: Oberliga Süd

Shortly after the end of the Second World War , under the most adverse circumstances, a first division was created, similar to the First Division in England, which should at least include the American zone of occupation . The selection criteria for the composition of the new league were never known. In 1945, however, the Oberliga Süd was only founded in the American occupation zone in which Schweinfurt was located, although it comprised half the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany , which was founded four years later and was the most far-reaching division of all time in Germany. From 1946 onwards, corresponding leagues were created in the other occupation zones based on their model. The Oberliga Süd was an integral part of German football until the Bundesliga was introduced in 1963.

FC 05 became a founding member of the new elite league with only 16 clubs, as a "gray mouse" from one of the smaller league cities, even though Schweinfurt was an important, partially destroyed and relatively quickly functioning German industrial center back then. The 05er often occupied the lowest places in the audience table with an average of 5000 to 6000 spectators. The best-attended seasons were the 1952/53 season with 9200 and 1951/52 with 8400 spectators. On the other hand, FC 05 belonged to the inventory of the league, as it was only one of six clubs that managed to play in all 18 seasons of the league. With a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on the penultimate match day of the 1961/62 season, the Schnüdel were just able to avert relegation, while the Eintracht missed the southern German championship against the same number of points from Nuremberg.

In the all-time table, the 05er are in 8th place out of 33, ahead of TSV 1860 Munich and over 120 points ahead of Karlsruher SC . The players with the most appearances in the Oberliga Süd were Ludwig Merz (384), Erwin Aumeier (320), Karl "Molli" Kupfer (Kupfer II) (292), Walter Lang (288), Fritz Käser (278) and Christof Schmitt ( 261). Record goal scorers are Erwin Aumeier (76) and Jakob Lotz (71).

In the last season of the Oberliga 1962/63 you could not relegate in the strongest group South, because of the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, but was at least automatically qualified for the new regional football league of the next season. The 05ers were at times in third to fifth place and in the end only reached 11th place in the table.

1963–1976: Regionalliga South and 2nd Bundesliga South

For the 1963/64 season , the then 16 clubs in the new Bundesliga was introduced in the Federal Republic of Germany . In the Oberliga Süd , a total of five places were awarded for the new league after a twelve-year evaluation , with the champions of the last Oberliga season 1962/63 of the five Oberliga seasons qualified in each case. FC Schweinfurt 05 could not qualify for the new league on the basis of the twelve-year ranking and were now second class after 32 years in the top division.

Qualified for the Bundesliga through the twelve-year ranking Qualified for the Bundesliga through the championship of the last Oberliga season (1962/63) Not qualified for the Bundesliga

The first years in the new regional league were marked by strong fluctuations in performance. We ended up in the opening season still in the upper middle, then followed a year with relegation worries before 1966 under new coach Gunther Baumann a championship could be won for the first time after 24 years. In the duel with the Offenbacher Kickers , FC 05 had one point ahead and qualified for the Bundesliga promotion round .

A promotion was relatively difficult because the Bundesliga still consisted of only 16 clubs and only two teams were promoted. The 05er drew, also due to internal quarrels (the two top performers Rolf Schweighöfer and Manfred Rühr were blocked within the club), against Rot-Weiss Essen and 1.FC Saarbrücken , only against FC St. Pauli managed to win at home ( see also : Notable events ). The surprising championship was followed by a mixed season, during which the successful coach Baumann said goodbye to 1860 Munich . Under his successor Jenö Vincze , the well-rehearsed team achieved placements in the front midfield in the following four years (1968-1971), in 1972, 1973 and 1974, however, they only narrowly escaped relegation.

FC 05 became a founding member of the 2nd Bundesliga , created in 1974 , with two groups, North and South. The new league viewed the club's management with some skepticism because of the increased financial requirements, but with the commitment of 33-year-old Lothar Emmerich, they managed a spectacular transfer that should pay off in sporting terms. The team coached by István Sztani was able to establish itself in the top group in 1974/75 and ended up tied behind FK Pirmasens in third place. After 19 years, the old Franconian rival 1. FC Nürnberg , who at the same time had become the Schnüdel’s feared opponent, was defeated again for the first time at home. Despite financial worries, the 1975/76 season was rather relaxed in terms of sport. But the team fell far short of expectations and was relegated from the tenth match day. The end-of-season spurt that many had hoped for, which had repeatedly brought relegation at the last minute in the past, did not materialize. In 1976 a remarkable sporting continuity finally came to an end: apart from the missed qualification for the Bundesliga in 1963, FC 05 was relegated for the first time in 55 years.

1976–1991: Between the Bayern and Landesliga and promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga

After saying goodbye to professional football, the club had to consolidate financially in the then third-class Bayernliga . There was a bang on the first day of the unfamiliar amateur league. FC 05 lost 5-0 in the away game against SpVgg Plattling . In the final tables, the Schnüdel usually occupied a place in the upper midfield in the following years. Started without any hope of promotion, in 1982 they reached second place behind FC Augsburg under coach Otto Baum and took part in the German amateur championship. In the following year, however, they rose completely surprisingly in the Landesliga Nord. The sovereignly earned promotion to the Bayern League (1983/84) was followed by another descent.

After the renewed national league championship in 1986, the chairman Peter Galm signed the former Bundesliga professional Werner Lorant (initially only as a player). As a player-coach , Lorant took over the sporting direction after a failed season start in autumn 1986. Local players like Bernd Häcker, Bernhard Pfister, Oliver Wölfling, Jens Schürer, Carsten Weiß, Rudi Gürtler, Reiner Wirsching , Rüdiger Mauder, Elmar Drenkard, Werner Köhler, Karl-Heinz Müller and Erwin Albert, who returned to his home country after his career ended, formed Lorant a powerful team that was runner-up in the Bavarian League in 1989, although the change from Wirsching to 1. FC Nürnberg during the winter break could be compensated.

In the 1989/90 season Lorant led the players to the zenith of their capabilities. The young Bernhard Winkler was added from the district league from FC Eibelstadt . The team took over the championship lead right from the start and, after a dramatic final in the last game of the season in front of 32,000 spectators in the Grünwalder Stadium at the second in the table in 1860 Munich , who needed a victory to win the title, won the championship with a contested 3: 3. In the promotion round, the Schnüdel were able to prevail against SSV Reutlingen and Rot-Weiss Frankfurt and rose again to the 2nd Bundesliga together with 1. FSV Mainz 05 . Another success was reaching the round of 16 in the DFB-Pokal (0-2 against Eintracht Braunschweig ).

For the first time, FC 05 was in the single-track 2nd division. In the following 1990/91 season, however, the promoted eleven lacked its most important pillars: Coach Lorant said goodbye to Viktoria Aschaffenburg , Winkler went to 1. FC Kaiserslautern , Albert retired from his career. The structures in the club were not geared towards professional football. The "Adventure 2nd League" turned into a fiasco. Without a chance from the start, they finished last with only 13 points. One of the few highlights of the season was the close 0: 1 in front of 11,000 spectators against Schalke 04 . With Elmar Wienecke (* 1960), the Schweinfurters had the youngest coach in German professional football at the time.

1991–2004: Bayernliga, Regionalliga and 2nd Bundesliga

The long-time chairman Peter Galm resigned after the unsuccessful excursion into professional business. At least he was able to hand over the club financially intact. There followed three years with unsuccessful board members and coaches in the Bayern League . The missed qualification for the newly formed regional league at the end of the 1993/94 season meant relegation to the fourth division.

In February 1994, the new chairman Gerhard Hertlein had hired the Serb Djuradj Vasic as coach. In painstaking development work, Vasic led the club to the 1998 Bayern league championship; when the number of regional leagues was reduced from four to two two years later, qualifying was just in eleventh place. The team, composed mainly of local players ( Ralf Scherbaum , Matthias Gerhard, Steffen Stockmann, Steffen Rögele, Dirk Dorbath, Dieter Wirsching, Jürgen Hain, Thorsten Seufert) and only a few professionals ( Kristian Sprecakovic , Josef Tuma, Festus Agu ) started aiming to stay up in the 2000/01 season. Completely unexpectedly, she was able to establish herself in the top group, even leading the table for many match days. At the end of the season, the outsider seemed to run out of breath. But in the last game of the season, a 1-1 draw at Wacker Burghausen was enough to prevail against Eintracht Trier and to advance to the 2nd Bundesliga in which FC 05 is third behind Karlsruher SC and the second team from VfB Stuttgart that are not eligible for promotion now for the third time.

For the 2001/02 second league season , the club signed several young players in addition to the Schweinfurt native Martin Schneider , who, with his experience of 379 Bundesliga games, should give the defense support. The team initially appeared as a strong, compact unit and was able to stay away from the relegation ranks in the preliminary round thanks to their home strength, although veteran Schneider had to end his career after a few games due to injury. The highlights in this phase were the 1-0 victory over Arminia Bielefeld (11,000 spectators), the 3: 3 against VfL Bochum (9,800 spectators), where FC 05 were 3-0 ahead and the 4-2 over LR Ahlen with Ermin Melunović as a four-time goal scorer. The game was broadcast live on nationwide free TV.

The highlight of the preliminary round was expected after the away draw against MSV Duisburg, the subsequent Franconian derby against SpVgg Greuther Fürth , in which the strong 05ers were now favored and the fans believed in a victory in the sold-out stadium. The latter seemed to be certain from the start. But it turned out differently. The September 11th terrorist attacks occurred on Tuesday after the Duisburg game . Football became an "insignificant minor matter" overnight ( Kicker-Sportmagazin ) and it was initially not clear whether football would be played at all next weekend, which the DFB finally decided to do. To make matters worse, there was also a US barracks right next to the Sachs Stadium, which became a high-security zone overnight. The game ended with a listless 0-0 in front of just 10,000 spectators. In the middle of the high phase, FC 05 experienced its first setback, which was followed by others. The 05ers conceded a goal several times in exactly the 44th minute of the game and had to go to the break in frustration, which ultimately wore the team down. If they wintered with a four point lead over the relegation relegation place, they were unexpectedly second to last with only 24 points and were relegated.

Despite relegation, President Hertlein initially stuck to his companion Vasic, but when the team was also relegated in the regional league in autumn 2002, the coach, who had long been unpopular with the fans, could no longer be held. With Hans-Jürgen Boysen and some newcomers in the second half of the season, after a dramatic catch-up race on the last matchday, a 3-1 win over VfR Aalen in front of 7000 spectators celebrated relegation. Although the local press reported irregularities as well as financial problems, the club received the license for the 2003/04 season, which was supposed to take a similar course to the previous season: in autumn the team was relegated and the coach was changed ( Rainer Hörgl for Boysen), new players signed, in the end they were again relegated. The long-controversial President Hertlein had kept the club in the professional field with his own money.

2004–2013: Bankruptcy and back and forth between Bayern and Landesliga

In the summer of 2004, however, Hertlein was no longer able to prove the club's financial capacity: The DFB refused to grant the regional league license, resulting in forced relegation to the Bayern league. In the 2004/05 Bayern league season, the team started with several players from the regional league squad. But after just a few games, President Hertlein, who himself was the club's largest creditor, had to declare the insolvency. In October 2004 he went to the bankruptcy judge , who appointed an emergency board. FC 05 was taken out of the Bayern League ranking and was relegated, almost all players left the club. In order to avoid being transferred to the lowest class, the remaining games had to be played as friendlies, which was achieved thanks to the participation of several players from the 1990 championship team. In this chaotic phase, the 100th anniversary of the association was ignored in 2005.

After the insolvency proceedings were concluded, there was a restart in the Landesliga Nord in 2005. In the second attempt, the newly formed team managed to return to the Bayern League in 2007, from which they would have been relegated at the end of the season after losing in the decisive relegation game against TSV Rain / Lech. Only because of license withdrawals in higher classes, FC 05 was awarded a Bayernliga starting place for the 2008/09 season. The experienced coach Werner Dressel did not succeed in the following season in increasing the team's performance, so that now the relegation to the sixth class national league took place.

The top-class team for the national league stayed together after relegation. She was defeated by the Würzburger FV in the 2009/10 championship race , but was able to secure promotion to the Bayern League in relegation through victories over VfB Eichstätt and SpVgg Ansbach 09 . There they established themselves in the first year with a place in the secured midfield. Under the new coach Klaus Scheer , the club named promotion to the new fourth-class Bavarian regional league as a season's goal for the 2011/12 qualifying season. As thirteenth in the table you had to relegation at the end of the season, but failed in two games against the second team of FC Augsburg , which meant relegation to the fifth-rate Bayernliga Nord. In the following season 2012/13, the club was under the new coach Gerd Klaus master of the Bayernliga Nord and rose a year late in the Regional League Bavaria . However, this success could not prevent the Schweinfurters from losing their decades-long status as "Mainfrankens Nr.1" to the Würzburger Kickers in the following years .

From 2013: Regionalliga Bayern and cup successes

The first three years in the Bayern Regional Football League were shaped by the struggle to stay up. In a dramatic final of the 2013/14 season, relegation could only be prevented with a lot of luck. In the 90th minute of the last game, the team were back in front of their home crowd with 1: 3 against SV Heimstetten and thus occupied a direct relegation place before three goals in the seven-minute stoppage time scored a 4: 3 victory, what for them now Tied SpVgg Bayern Hof meant relegation due to the goal difference being one goal worse. In the relegation one could then confidently prevail against TSV Aubstadt and 1860 Rosenheim and still hold the class. In the following regional league season 2014/15 , FC 05 reached 13th place in the table, in the season 2015/16 the Lower Franconia only secured relegation on the last match day.

Before the 2016/17 season, President Markus Wolf, who with his company Wolf-Möbel had also appeared as a shirt sponsor of 1. FC Nürnberg in the two years before , declared promotion to the third division in the foreseeable future. This was accompanied by the switch to full profitability, which was made possible by the spin-off of the first team to 1. FC Schweinfurt 1905 Fußball GmbH in October 2016.

The team, reinforced with numerous well-known players such as Marco Haller , Marius Willsch and Adam Jabiri , was able to establish itself in the front midfield in the 2016/17 Regional League season , but was unable to intervene in the championship race at any time. After all, it was possible to inflict the only defeat of the season on the eventual champions and third division promoted SpVgg Unterhaching . In the same season, the team won the Bavarian Toto Cup for the first time with a 1-0 final victory over SV Wacker Burghausen . After 15 years of absence, the club was again qualified for participation in the first DFB Cup main round.

In this first round in 2017/18 , FC 05 defeated the second division club SV Sandhausen 2-1. In the second round in the Willy Sachs Stadium, which had been sold out for a long time with 15,060 spectators, they lost 4-0 to eventual cup winners Eintracht Frankfurt . By reaching the second round of the 2017/18 DFB Cup, the club celebrated the greatest success in the club's recent history and underpinned its ambitions to return to the national football stage. In the 2017/18 regional league season , however, FC Schweinfurt 05 could not jeopardize the championship of the second division relegated TSV 1860 Munich, which was relegated to the fourth division due to a missing third division license . Schweinfurt ended the season in third place, center forward Adami Jabiri was the top scorer in the Regionalliga Bayern with 28 goals. With a 3-1 final win against SpVgg Oberfranken Bayreuth , FC 05 successfully defended their title in the Bavarian Toto Cup and once again made it into the first main round of the DFB Cup .

In order to further strengthen the squad for the desired third division promotion despite the departure of the two top performers Herbert Paul and Marius Willsch , Schweinfurt signed under the new coach Timo Wenzel in addition to the former U-17 European champion Florian Trinks, among others, for the 2018/19 season two experienced professional players Stefan Kleineheismann and Ronny Philp . In the first DFB Cup main round, the team was defeated in re-sold-out Willy Sachs stadium with 0: 2 the German vice-champion and UEFA Champions League participant FC Schalke 04 , which for the first time in 2: 3 defeat in the semifinals in 1936 Cup opponents of Schweinfurter was.

history

Stadium with main stand (2019)

The Willy Sachs Stadium was opened in July 1936, a few days before the start of the Summer Olympics in Berlin, as part of a new sports park in the city of Schweinfurt. The entire facility was donated by the Schweinfurt industrialist Willy Sachs , owner of the company Fichtel & Sachs founded by his father Ernst Sachs . In the letter of foundation, Sachs, as patron of Schweinfurt 05, stipulated the sole right of first use of all stadium facilities for his club for the "duration of the existence of the club".

The architectural design of the stadium came from Paul Bonatz , who had already built the new administrative headquarters of Fichtel & Sachs in Schweinfurt and, among other things , had designed the Stuttgart main station . At the time, the entire facility was classified as exemplary and almost unique in Germany for a city the size of Schweinfurt.

Leading National Socialist politicians were present at the inauguration of the stadium on July 23, 1936, Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler , Reich Organizational Manager Robert Ley and Reich Governor of Bavaria, Franz Ritter von Epp . Hermann Göring, who was a friend of Sachs, had already visited the system the day before . Because of Willy Sachs' involvement with National Socialism , the name of the stadium is controversial today.

The opening game of the Willy Sachs Stadium took place three days after the official inauguration between 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and FC Schalke 04 , the German champions of 1935. Both teams parted with a 2-2 draw.

The stadium facility survived the bombing of the Second World War unscathed . The attendance record dates back to 1954, when 22,500 spectators came to a friendly against 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the Willy Sachs Stadium. The entire sports facility is now a listed building .

description

South curve of the stadium with marathon goal (2017)

The Willy Sachs Stadium is a classic football stadium with an integrated athletics facility and marathon gate , surrounded by two rows of tall linden trees . The capacity of over 20,000 spectators was limited to 15,060 spectators as a result of newer safety standards, including 860 seats on the covered main grandstand. It is a classic standing stadium that, apart from the technical installations, has remained completely unchanged like hardly anywhere else.

In order to meet the requirements for the second Bundesliga , the stadium was extensively renovated in summer 2001. The steps of the standing bars were renewed and a floodlight system was installed on four inclined masts . In addition, a separate guest block with a separate entrance was set up. Big industry from Schweinfurt donated an LED display board above the marathon gate . As a result of increased safety standards, breakwaters had to be installed on the standing poles in 2014 in order to be able to use the full space available in the stadium.

The stadium is located in the north-western part of Schweinfurt, 2.5 km as the crow flies from the market square in the old town . With four-lane access roads that are connected to the A 70 and A 71 , and the neighboring Volksfestplatz, which also serves as a large car park, the stadium has an infrastructure that is generous for its capacity.

Second team

By the 2013/14 season, the FC 05 U23 team managed to move up continuously from the regional league to the regional north-west league. The team finished the 2014/15 season with a good 5th place. In the following season 2015/16 the U23 knocked on the goal of the Bayernliga for the first time, but had to admit defeat with one point behind the relegation place of the second team of the Würzburger Kickers . In the 2016/17 season, the junior team won the championship of the Landesliga Nordwest and thus promotion to the fifth-class Bayernliga Nord , from which they were relegated after one season. Due to numerous departures, the club then had to deregister its U23 team from further play in the Landesliga Nordwest.

Notable events

The last competitive game of FC 05 in the Willy Sachs Stadium against the first team of FC Bayern Munich took place in the Regionalliga Süd (then 2nd division) in the 1964/65 season. FC 05 won 4-1. Sepp Maier , Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller, who were still completely unknown at the time, were already part of the FC Bayern team . In the second leg in Munich, however, FC 05 lost 4-0. FC Bayern won the Regionalliga Süd championship that season and was promoted to the Bundesliga . In the following season, FC 05 was also regional league champion, but failed in the Bundesliga promotion round.

After FC 05 finished 5th and SSV Reutlingen 3rd in the same league in the 1967/68 season, the Schnüdel surprisingly defeated SSV 10-0 in the following season in their first home game. However, the season remained within the usual framework for both clubs, the game had developed its own momentum.

In the 1972/73 season the Karlsruher SC fought in this league for a relegation place for promotion to the Bundesliga and FC 05 against relegation. On matchday 27, the KSC came to Schweinfurt for the second leg. KSC led 2-0 up to the 80th minute, the game seemed decided and many spectators were already leaving the stadium. The Schnüdeln then succeeded in the connection goal to 2: 1, shortly afterwards the equalization and then also the alleged winning goal to 3: 2. At the parking lot, the spectators who had left by the 80th minute heard the numerous screams and came back into the stadium. Immediately before the end of the game, KSC managed to equalize again with the help of a suspicious situation that the referee did not punish. The stadium became a cauldron. Full of anger, FC 05 then placed the ball on the kick-off point and literally "carried" it into the opposing goal on the last move, to a cheering 4-3 victory, which helped to prevent the first relegation in over 40 years.

Other departments

In October 2009 the handball department resigned from the club and was re-established as Main-Handball-Verein Schweinfurt 09 e. V. The youngest departments at FC Schweinfurt are rugby and futsal . Other departments offer athletics and gymnastics.

Nickname "Schnudel"

There are different versions of the origin and meaning of the nickname "Schnüdel" for FC 05. The name is already used before the Second World War , but then as a dirty word. The chronicle for the 50th anniversary of the association in 1955 does not use this designation. It is supposed to be a Lower Franconian expression for the tip, which had to be tied off from the bladder inside the ball as a closure before the invention of the flash valve and provided a slightly out of round, hard spot, which could be quite uncomfortable, especially with a header. The nickname was almost forgotten in the course of the decades, has experienced a renaissance in recent times and is now known nationwide among football fans. In 1920 Fritz Stöcklein from Schweinfurt invented the modern football with a check valve, which made the Schnüdel superfluous.

Sponsors and suppliers

The main sponsors of 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 are the company Wolf Möbel of President Markus Wolf and the Würzburg finance and insurance company BVUK . The team's supplier has been the team sports clothing manufacturer JAKO since the 2016/17 season .

Other fan camps are the TBF , which is strongly represented in the Rhön region , the Grün-Weiß fan club , the Hometown category , the Szene 1905 , and the relatively young Green Boys and Serious Society groups . In addition, banners in the stadium identify the long-term supporters Fridritt , Mürscht ( Münnerstadt ), Untererthal , Geo ( Gerolzhofen ) and Niederwerrn .

The supporters of Schweinfurt 05 have been friends with the fans of the Würzburger FV for many decades , whose banners can be seen regularly in the FC 05 fan block. The greatest rivalry is with the supporters of the Würzburger Kickers .

The kugellagerstadt.com website should currently be highlighted among the fan pages . There is currently (as of August 2018) no indication of an organized fan scene on the club's official website.

Club motto

German headquarters of the Swedish ball bearing factory SKF in Schweinfurt

The official club motto of 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 has been We work football for several years . This is in connection with the redesigned website of the FC 05 in retrospective graphics in the style of the 1930s, with a football of the time, and the conscious use of the nickname Schnüdel ( see: "Schnüdel" ). A grid of balls and a depicted ball bearing symbolizes the workers' association from the ball bearing city ( see: Club history ): Schweinfurt is the European center as an important location for the companies SKF , Schaeffler (formerly FAG Kugelfischer ) and ZF (formerly Fichtel & Sachs ) of the rolling bearing industry and is also known as the world capital of ball bearings .
