history

On February 19, 1899, following a practice game, the constituent assembly of the Baden section of the “First Vienna Football Club” took place (venue: Hotel Nagel and Brusatti , Baden). This date is now considered to be the founding day of the soccer branch of the Baden AC .

On July 14, 1899 were used in a Curhaussaale held meeting by choosing a narrower Committees preparatory steps for the establishment of an association for athletic sports set. - This association was constituted when the Baden section of the “First Vienna Football Club” was taken over on October 21, 1899 in the Hotel Zur Stadt Wien in Baden under the name of Verein Internationaler Sportplatz, Baden .

The 8 ½ yoke large basic complex located next to the train station , on which eight (grass) tennis courts, two large soccer fields , a running track, a place for light athletics and ice skating as well as a one kilometer long cycle track were to be built, was initially for 20 years leased.

With the constituent general assembly, chaired by Alexander Prinz zu Solms-Braunfels , the first president of the trotting club in Baden near Vienna , the tennis branch club was probably founded or incorporated. The municipal sports field (BAC) was opened on June 29, 1900 with an international tennis tournament, also open to women .

The other branches and their founding year:

  • 1924 handball
  • 1924 athletics
  • 1924 table tennis (founding meeting: October 9, 1924; oldest table tennis community on the continent ) 
  • 1947 swimming (today: water polo)
  • 1947 lifting (today: weightlifting)
  • 1949 boxing
  • 1961 mini golf
  • 1962 sport bowling (today: bowling)
  • 1997 dance sport
  • 2012 cycling

In 2001 the BAC and its branches had 1128 members.

The Baden AC , followed by the SC Herzogenburg , the oldest club in today's Lower Austria , shaped, together with the SC Germania Schwechat , especially around 1900, football in the Kronland . Many of the competitors at that time, however, no longer belong to Lower Austria since the elevation of Vienna to the federal state . A Baden soccer club celebrated early successes. At the first major football tournament in Austria-Hungary , the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Jubilee-Tournament of 1898, FC Baden took the third of twelve places.

In 1911 the Lower Austrian football championship was introduced, in which the people of Baden regularly took part. As a Lower Austrian club, participation in the Austrian championship, which was initially focused on Vienna, was denied. At the beginning of the 1930s , the club was finally able to celebrate its greatest successes. In the years 1932 and 1935 the title of the Lower Austrian provincial champion was won. In 1932 he even won the "Lower Austrian Double" by winning the Landescup. The Baden AC took part in the Austrian amateur state championships several times during this period and even won the title in 1935 with a controversial final success against the Salzburg AK 1914 .

After the Second World War , the club played mostly in the Regionalliga Ost and the Lower Austrian Regional League and thus belonged to the second to third level in Austria. At the regional level, winning the Lower Austrian Cup again in 1946 was quite successful. A nice highlight of the season was the international Thermal Cup in the 1950s , in which the Badner AC, the Swiss FC Baden and the German SC Baden-Baden participated.

After the promotion to the second-rate Regionalliga Ost, there was immediate relegation in the 1966/67 season. In 1972, however, the Baden AC was able to rise again and qualified with a third place in the 1973/74 season even for the relegation to the Bundesliga, which however was lost to SV Rapid Lienz with a total score of 0-2. In 1982 the Lower Austrians, together with the UFC Purbach, were promoted to the 2nd division of the Bundesliga . In the 1982/83 season they again missed their first promotion to the 1st Bundesliga with third place and only two points behind. The goalkeeper Otto Sysel, defenders Josef Nikolai, Roman Groll, Fritz Tasch and Matejka belonged to this best BAC team. Mostly Armin Panzenböck, Johann Drabek and Franz Spring played in midfield. Otto Huterer, Erwin Hohlbaum and Erwin Brenninger acted as strikers. A large number of these footballers played in their further career at top Austrian clubs such as the record champions SK Rapid Wien , Austria and Vienna .

In the 1984/85 season you had to leave the second highest division shortly before the Bundesliga reform and were relegated back to the regional league . By the end of the 1990s, the club had a huge mountain of debt. The best players had to be given up and the fall into insignificance up to the last Lower Austrian league took its course. A glimmer of hope for the now underclass Baden AC is its excellent youth work. Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, talents at the BAC such as Drabek, Hohlbaum, Mario Kreiker, Georg Kossina, Günther Opel, Gerhard Rodax (Admira Wacker, 1990 - Atlético Madrid , Rapid Vienna), Erwin Hoffer (Admira Wacker, SK Rapid Vienna, 2009 - SSC Napoli, 1. FC Kaiserslautern) made the leap into the Bundesliga and abroad.

The total club presented and presents world and European champions, state and national champion and also many excellent place finisher. In total, more than 40 teams successfully take part in championships each year. - In connection with the 100-year jubilee, the municipal sports facility was renovated and an anniversary subsidy was obtained for the branch clubs that did not use the space. The exhibition "100 Years of BAC" was shown in the Rollett Museum from April 16 to June 25, 1999.
