Edelstahl Krefeld (officially: Werkskampfgemeinschaft Edelstahl Krefeld e.V. ) was a sports club from Krefeld . The first soccer team once took part in the Tschammer Cup , the predecessor of the DFB Cup .

history

The club was founded in 1929 as a training workshop for gymnastics and play clubs in Krefeld and was renamed the Werkssportverein Deutsche Edelstahlwerke Krefeld in the same year . It was a company sports club of Deutsche Edelstahlwerke AG . Further renaming followed. In 1934 the name Werkssportverein Edelstahl Krefeld was adopted, before the name was changed to VfL Marathon Krefeld three years later . As early as 1938 it became the Werkskampfgemeinschaft Edelstahl Krefeld , which four years later took on the name VfL Marathon Krefeld again .

The club achieved sporting successes during the Second World War . In 1940, the Krefeld team qualified for the Tschammer Cup. In the first round , the team met Gaulisten Rot-Weiss Essen and only just lost 3: 4. In the 1941/42 season, the team became champions of its district class relay and thus reached the promotion round to the then first-class Gauliga Niederrhein . One point behind local rivals Union Krefeld , Werkskampfgemeinschaft came in second and missed promotion to the top division.

In 1945 all Krefeld sports clubs were dissolved. As a company sports club, the VfL Marathon did not receive approval for the start-up. As a result, from December 5, 1945, the members formed a syndicate with the CSV 1910 Krefeld . In 1950, a new club called the VfL Marathon Krefeld split off from the CSV, which SG Rot-Weiß Krefeld joined. On October 19, 1951, the new VfL Marathon merged with CSV Krefeld to form the CSV Marathon Krefeld .
