history
In 1933, Post SV Recklinghausen, the older of the two parent clubs, was founded. Football has also been played at Post SV since 1961. The second parent club is FC Nord Recklinghausen , founded in 1958 , which later changed its name to FV Blau-Weiß Nord 1958 Recklinghausen . In 1972 the Post SV and the FV Blau-Weiß Nord merged to form the game association Blau Weiß Post Recklinghausen. The new club moved into the newly built district sports facility Lange Wanne as a new home. A friendly match against Borussia Dortmund was played at the opening .
The first men's team only played in the county league until 1988. Then it went up to the Oberliga Westfalen every three years. The team played successfully and finished sixth in the 1997/98 season and even fifth the following year . Nevertheless, the average attendance was only around 200. However, financial problems forced the club to withdraw the team from the league at the end of the first half of the 1999/2000 season . The association had to file for bankruptcy, but was able to prevent the dissolution.
While the first team dared a new start in the district league in the 2000/01 season, but was relegated to the district league, the then 80-year-old Kurt Meyer caused a sensation nationwide when his goal in an old league game against young Siegfried Hillerheide from the spectators the sports show was voted goal of the year . In 2013 the first team was relegated to the district league B and two years later had to go to the district league C. On July 1, 2017, Blau Weiß Post merged with the football department of PSV Recklinghausen to form SSC Recklinghausen , which competes in the district league B.
In 1972 the club founded a women's football department , which in 1986 was promoted to the then second-class association league. The greatest success was the Westphalia Cup victory in 2003. In the same year, the department founded an independent club with the 1. FFC Recklinghausen . The B-Juniors reached the finals of the German championship in 2000 , where the team just barely missed the final as runners-up behind the 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam .
