Eintracht Cuxhaven (officially: Eisenbahner Sport-Verein Eintracht Cuxhaven eV ) was a sports club from Cuxhaven . The first soccer team played for a year in the highest amateur league in Lower Saxony.

history

The association goes back to the Cuxhaven Free Gymnastics Association, which was founded on March 14, 1909 . A year later, the football department was founded, which was active in the game operations of the Arbeiter-Turn- und Sportbund . With the takeover of the Nazis in 1933, the Free Turnerschaft was banned. After the end of World War II, former members founded the Free Turnerschaft together with the SV North Sea Cuxhaven to VfL Cuxhaven . In 1949 this merged with the swimming and sports community Cuxhaven to form ESV Eintracht Cuxhaven .

ESV Eintracht

In the spring of 1946, VfL had to play a playoff for a place in the Lower Saxony-Nord Oberliga against local rivals Cuxhavener SV , which the CSV won 6-1. Four years later, the team, now known as Eintracht, was one of the founding members of Amateur League 6 . In the 1955/56 season, the team was knocked off last, but remained a league increase and by changing the ATSV Nienburg and Delmenhorster BV to other seasons in the league. Two years later, the team secured the championship, but failed in the promotion round.

A year later, Eintracht secured the championship again and finished the promotion round tied with TuS Einswarden . The due decider won the Cuxhaven 3-1. Since local rivals CSV were relegated from the Lower Saxony- West amateur league at the same time , Eintracht had become number one in the city. The amateur league turned out to be a size too big for Eintracht. Since their own Jahnplatz was not suitable for the league and had to be expanded, Eintracht played their first home games in the CSV arena. In addition, the team had been hit by many injuries , so that 33 players were used over the course of the season. With 6:54 points, Eintracht was beaten last.

In 1963, Eintracht was three points behind the CSV runner-up. A year later, the team qualified for the newly created Association League North . In the 1965/66 season, Eintracht plunged into a crisis. With 4:56 points and 130 goals conceded, the team rose from the association league. Two more descents in a row maneuvered the team into the district league Land Hadeln / Cuxhaven , where Eintracht met its own reserve. In the years to come, the club increasingly focused on its own offspring. With Andreas Brandts , Eintracht produced a Bundesliga player and Bernd Hägermann a second division player. In 1990, Eintracht merged with CSV and Brockeswalder SV to form SV Rot-Weiss Cuxhaven . In particular, Eintracht President Rudi Heinisch promoted this merger, which, however, not all Eintracht members agreed.

Successor club FC Eintracht

On February 17, 2001, a successor club was founded with FC Eintracht Cuxhaven . Three ascents in a row brought the new Eintracht into the 1st district class straight away. The team stayed there for four years before making the leap into the district league. In 2010 he was promoted to the district league Lüneburg 4 and two years later in the state league Lüneburg . In 2018, Eintracht rose again from the district league.
