history
The club was founded among others by Benno Elkan , a Dortmund football pioneer of the Jewish faith and later renowned sculptor, on May 10, 1895 as Dortmund FC 95 , but dissolved again two years later. On October 27, 1899 it was re-established. In 1910, the FC Union Dortmund joined the DFC, which merged with BV Dortmund 04 on July 13, 1913 to form Sportvereinigung 95 Dortmund . The sports association changed the name to Dortmund SC 95 in 1919 . In 1933 the DSC forcibly merged with the BC Sportfreunde Dortmund to Sportfreunde 95 Dortmund . This merger was resolved two years later. In 1945 the DSC was dissolved and re-established as Südliche SG Dortmund , which also included BC Sportfreunde. As early as 1951, the Sportfreunde split off again. On July 9, 1969, Dortmund's SC 95 merged with TuS Eintracht Dortmund, which was founded in 1848, to form TSC Eintracht Dortmund.
Soccer
Until World War II
Dortmund's FC 95 , founded in 1895, was the city's oldest football club. The association was founded by students from the secondary school on Luisenstrasse. The city's first soccer games are said to have taken place there as early as 1890 as part of the gymnastics games. Since the club was based in the south of Dortmund, the players were referred to as the "southerners". As a counterpart to this, the Alemannia Dortmund players were referred to as the "Northerners". The first game in the club's history was won 1-0 against SuS Schalke 96 in May 1896 . This game is considered the first verifiable soccer game in Westphalia . Dortmund FC 95 was one of the nine founding clubs of the Rheinischer Spiel-Verband , with Dortmund being the only club that did not come from the so-called Rheinschiene .
The later merger partner BV Dortmund 04 achieved the first major successes and reached the West German football championship in 1907 and 1909 . In the second participation , BV 04 reached the semi-finals, where the team was defeated by Prussia Duisburg with 1: 4. The DFC in turn reached the final for the championship of the Mark district in 1908, but lost it against SuS Schalke 96 with 0: 3. Also in 1908, the club opened its own sports field on Obere Hohen Strasse, today's Ardeystrasse, as the first Dortmund club. The outbreak of the First World War was a turning point for the association after 200 of the 250 members at the time were convened . Nevertheless, the game association was able to win the district cup in the finals against Alemannia Dortmund.
The club, now called DSC 95, became Ruhrgaumeister in 1921 after victories over SC Gelsenkirchen 07 and Erler SV 08 and thus qualified for the West German championship. In the final round , the team took third place behind Duisburger SpV and Cologne BC 01 , but ahead of BC Sport Cassel and Preußen Münster . During the 1920s, however, the team fell back into mediocrity. The team was getting on in years, and the rise of the workers' associations, which came from the proletariat , made problems for the club. In addition, the DSC had to give up its sports field, in the place of which the Rote Erde stadium was built. The southern now played on the Dortmund Radrennbahn, which became free through the merger of VfB 97 Dortmund with Alemannia 05 Dortmund to form VfB Alemannia Dortmund .
The DSC tried to resist the sporting decline and tried in 1927 to poach the future national player Ernst Kuzorra from the up-and-coming FC Schalke 04 . According to Kuzorra, the DSC offered him “golden mountains” and a job at the Ritter Brewery . However, the change failed due to the intervention of Kuzorra's teammates. In the following 1927/28 season , Dortmund fought against relegation, which could only be prevented by a 2-1 win after extra time against the Erler SV 08 tied on points. A year later , as bottom of the table, the move to the second division followed, where the DSC met Borussia Dortmund for the first time in the 1930/31 season . With the introduction of the Gauliga Westfalen in 1933, Dortmund's sports commissioner Paul Wagner wanted to place a club in his city in the new top division. The DSC was supposed to merge with Dortmund's most powerful club at the time, VfL Hörde , which Hörder rejected.
Finally, the DSC merged with BC Sportfreunde Dortmund, founded in 1906 . The merger association was accepted into the Gauliga, but immediately descended again . Due to internal tensions, the merger was dissolved again in 1935. Despite a verbal promise that if the merger failed, both clubs would be regrouped into the district class, the sports management did not keep to the agreement and moved the DSC to the first district class for the 1936/37 season. After the "southerners" failed in the promotion round in 1938 and 1940, the club had to stop playing in 1943 because of the Second World War .
post war period
After the end of the war, the DSC initially played in the district class, before being promoted to the district class for the first time in 1950. The team dismounted immediately and managed direct promotion. There the team succeeded in the 1952/53 season marching through to the Landesliga Westfalen , the highest amateur league at the time. Just two years later , the "Southern" champions of their squadron and reached the Football State League Westphalia 1954/55 # Westphalia Championship . There the DSC took fourth place behind Eintracht Gelsenkirchen , VfB 03 Bielefeld and Sportfreunde Siegen and was only able to leave Erler SV 08 behind. In 1956 it worked better. Without losing points, the DSC secured the Westphalia Championship, where the team faced Sportfreunde Siegen, Sportfreunde Gladbeck , SVA Gütersloh and Arminia Ickern . In the following round of promotion, the DSC first defeated SSV Troisdorf 05 4: 2 and then lost to VfB Speldorf 3: 4. Dortmunder and Speldorf were promoted to the 2nd Division West.
In the contract players' camp , the DSC mostly occupied positions in the middle of the table. Financial problems were no longer possible, as the club only attracted a few spectators because of its bourgeois origin, among other things. While some Dortmund association leagues played in front of up to 4,000 spectators, the DSC was rarely able to welcome more than 1,000 per game in its DSC stadium on the Flora, which has been in use since 1954 . In 1958 and 1961 the lead over a relegation zone was only one point. The low point of the 1957/58 season was a 0:10 home defeat against VfL Benrath . The only highlight of the second division era of the 95s was the 1959/60 season , when the team took the lead for the first and only time with a 3-0 win against STV Horst-Emscher . In 1963 the regional league was introduced as the new second highest division, for which the first eight of the 1962/63 season qualified. On the last day of the match, the DSC needed a win against competitor Arminia Bielefeld . With a 4-1 victory for Bielefeld, the “southerners” slipped to twelfth place and had to relegate to the amateur camp.
The DSC was in the following season 1963/64 champions of the association league Westphalia 2 and met in the finals for the Westphalia championship on Eintracht Gelsenkirchen . The first leg in Gelsenkirchen ended 2-2, while the second leg in Dortmund ended 1-1. A playoff has been scheduled. On Whit Monday they played in the neutral Castroper Jahnkampfbahn and Eintracht prevailed 2-0. A year later , the DSC rose from the association league. The playoff against the tied SG Wattenscheid 09 was lost with 1: 2. Until the merger, the “southerners” only offered mediocrity in the regional league and had to fight relegation at times.
Other sports
Handball
The handball players of the Dortmund SC 95 were Westphalia champions in 1936, 1938 and 1942 and thus qualified for the final round of the German championship in field handball . In 1936 the Dortmund women failed in the first round with 2: 3 after extra time at VfL Germania Leer . Two years later, the end came again in the first round. This time the DSC lost 3: 7 at Stahl-Union 04 Düsseldorf . The team was most successful in 1942. After a 3-2 win in the first round over BC 01 from Cologne , the knockout came in the round of 16 after an 8-0 defeat by Stahl-Union 04 Düsseldorf. After the end of the Second World War, the DSC handball players could no longer build on their old successes.
But the men of the DSC were more successful after the end of the war. In 1957, 1966 and 1967 the team reached the final round of the Westphalia indoor handball championship . In the first two times, however, the team failed in the preliminary round, while the team only failed in the semifinals in 1967 with 9:10 on Schalksmühler TV . A year later, Dortmund qualified for the newly created Oberliga Westfalen and in 1969 qualified for the Regionalliga West. There, however, they competed under the name TSC Eintracht Dortmund.
athletics
The Dortmund SC 95 also produced some successful athletes . Karl-Heinz Wegmann was in 1956 and 1959 German champion in shot put and reached in the years 1960 and 1961 respectively the third place. Otto Röhr won the German championship over 110 meter hurdles in 1915 and 1919 .
