history

After the Second World War , the St. Pauli Sport successor, Sport 01 Hamburg, merged with the members of former workers' sports clubs to form Eimsbütteler SV. This made it into the district class in 1949 and a year later the march through to the second-class Hamburg amateur league . There the team achieved their best result of the season in the 1951/52 season with tenth place. After the ESV had mostly fought against relegation, he had to leave the Hamburg upper house in 1955.

Until the end of the 1950s, the Eimsbüttelers were a top team in the Germania Association , before the 1960s brought the decline into mediocrity. In 1970 he was relegated from the association league. In 1976, Eimsbütteler SV finally merged with Grün-Weiss Hamburg to become Grün-Weiss Eimsbüttel . The merger was denigrated as a "dwarf wedding" because the clubs originally interested in the merger, Hamburg Eimsbütteler Ballspiel Club , SV West-Eimsbüttel and Stellingen 88, withdrew.

The striker Horst Haecks played for Eimsbütteler SV from 1955 to 1957 and then moved to FC St. Pauli , where he was twice top scorer in the Regionalliga Nord . Eimsbütteler SV should not be confused with SV Eimsbüttel , which split off from Eimsbütteler TV in March 1924 .
