Under the direction of chaplain Heinrich Küppers, a sports department was founded in the Marian Youth Congregation Katernberg in September 1919 , which was later renamed DJK Katernberg. Two years later, the Katernberg team won the German championship played out as part of the 1st DJK Reichstreffen in Düsseldorf with a 3-2 win after extra time against DJK Ludwigshafen . Three years later, the team was able to successfully defend its title. At the 2nd DJK Reich meeting in Frankfurt am Main , Essen won 4-2 in the final against DJK Sparta Bürgel . A year later came the end for the DJK footballers. The reason was irreconcilable differences between the active players and Kaplan Küppers.
