history

The club was founded in 1910 as a German sports club under the name Verein für Rasenspiele Königshütte (short: VfR Königshütte ). With the partition of Upper Silesia in June 1922, Königshütte fell to Poland. But the newly founded regional association of the Polish football association PZPN initially refused to accept the German clubs. Thereupon 143 of them founded the " Voivodeship Football Association " in July 1922 under the leadership of VfR Königshütte . But the PZPN headquarters in Krakow urged the German clubs to join the Polish regional association. Part of the compromise is the renaming of numerous clubs. From 1923, the association was therefore called Amatorski Klub Sportowy Królewska Huta ("AKS Królewska Huta"), in 1934 the club was renamed Amatorski Klub Sportowy Chorzów ("AKS Chorzów"). In 1937 the club was able to achieve its greatest success with the title of Polish runner-up. After the annexation of the area by the Germans in 1939, the association was renamed FV Germania Königshütte and finally, after the Second World War, the name was changed to AKS Chorzów .

From 1949 to 1955 the association was named Budowlani Chorzów , after two mergers with Chorzowianka Chorzów and Wyzwolenie Chorzow , the association was named AKS Wyzwolenie Chorzów . Today the former Polish runner-up plays in the sixth-class league okręgowa.
