history
1919–1945: Foundation and early years
The 1st Ternitz sports club was founded in 1919 in what was then Gasthaus Berger (later Gasthaus Putz) in Unter-Ternitz. The first sports field was built by volunteers in the founding year at the site of today's SAG-Siedlung-I. The company Schoeller-Bleckmann Stahlwerke provided money in the first few years, because at that time football shoes, kits and balls had to be obtained by oneself. By the 1922/23 season , enthusiasm for football had grown to such an extent that a second sports field could be created near the Wimpassinger Bridge after the Schwarza River regulation. This sports field, “Die Gruabn”, was laid out on the steelworks premises by volunteers with the support of the works aid and already had seats on the existing embankment. In the 1931/32 season , what was then the 1st Ternitz sports club won the VAFÖ state championship title of Lower Austria .
During the Second World War , the sports field within the factory premises was filled in so that large production halls could be built on the premises. The football club was renamed "BSG-Betriebssportgemeinschaft Ternitz". The former Turnerplatz in Ober-Ternitz was used as a replacement for the lost sports field. Games were also played during the war. Due to the drafts for military or labor service, you could only form a team from players on short vacation and older players. In 1944/45 the BSG Ternitz took part in the (unofficial) second class championship in the Lower Danube South district. There the club was only able to play four games due to the war.
1945–2008: State League B and relegation
After the Second World War, Ternitz was able to enter the Lower Austrian State League as a qualifier in 1946 after winning an away game at SV Zillingdorf. A new sports facility was built and opened by Schoeller-Bleckmann Stahlwerke in 1948. In addition, Ternitz was able to celebrate successes in the then B-League East. In the 1950/51 season Ternitz achieved promotion to the State League B. In the 1954/55 season Ternitz reached third place in the table, his best result. After the 1956/57 season , however, Ternitz had to relegate. This was followed by two one-year guest appearances in the second division in 1961 and 1963, each time clearly missing the league.
In 1974 there were also economic difficulties in addition to the sporting problems. In 1975 the steelworks was merged with other plants in the United Edelstahlwerke AG (VEW). Due to operational changes in the "VEW-Stahlwerk Ternitz" the club could not maintain its usual playing strength. So began a difficult time for the ASK Ternitz and from season to season the league could not be achieved.
Ternitz Stadium
In 1994 the municipality of Ternitz acquired the formerly in-house sports facility from Schoeller-Bleckmann Stahlwerke for the active football , athletics , tennis and stick shooters clubs . In 2008 and 2009, the sports facility was rebuilt at a cost of 1.8 million euros. A covered grandstand for 250 people and new cloakrooms for club football, track and field athletes and school sports were built on a total usable area of 720 square meters. The upper floor includes a canteen and office space for the athletics club ATSV Ternitz. On June 27, 2009 the redesigned sports facility was officially opened with a large sports festival by Deputy Governor Josef Leitner , Regional Councilor Petra Bohuslav and Mayor Rupert Dworak .
