The Breslauer SpVgg 02 was a German football club from the Silesian metropolis of Breslau .

history

The club was created in 1933 through the merger of the United Breslauer Sportfreunde (VBS), which had emerged in 1913 from the merger of SC Preußen and SC 1904 and had their sports field in the Südpark, with the Breslauer SC 08 from Roonstraße. The merger was initiated by the National Socialists. On the one hand, the merger was intended to create a dominant Wroclaw club for the Gauliga , which was also founded in 1933, and which encompassed all of Silesia.After all , the VBS was a semi-finalist in the German championship of 1920 and the BSC 08, a semi-finalist in the German championship of 1929; on the other hand, the merger followed general endeavor for large clubs, with which one often sought to break down milieu-related anchors. The fact that, with the VBS, a Jewish upper-class club disappeared, was a positive side effect from the point of view of those in power. The fact that the new club was located in the Sportpark Gräbschen (today Oporowska Stadium ), which was created after the First World War for associations of workers' sports in Germany , which were dissolved or brought into line in 1933 , also fits into this picture . This sports field, which then had 15,000 seats, still exists today as the home of today's number 1 in the city, the WKS Śląsk Wrocław .

The 02er were the city's leading club , but the Gauliga Schlesien did not win. Second place was achieved in 1933/34 and 1937/38 . It was not until 1941 in the now due to the war in a top and a Niederschlesisch split Gauliga won the club the title of the Lower Silesian Master of the first-time entry into the final round of the German championship meant after the merger. However, the club failed in the preliminary round just at Planitzer SC with 1: 2 after extra time. When even the Gauliga Lower Silesia was further split up, the 02er as champions of the Gauliga Breslau in the Lower Silesian finals behind the STC Hirschberg could still win the runner-up in the Gau Lower Silesia in 1944. After that season, games in Silesia collapsed due to the war. Due to the consequences of the war and the resulting award of Wroclaw to Poland, the association expired in 1945.
