The Duisburger Spielverein (Duisburger SpV) was one of the most successful clubs in early West German football. It was founded in 1900 when the then seven-year-old football department of the Duisburg gymnastics community for adults resigned from the entire club in 1848 on the initiative of the later DFB president Gottfried Hinze .

As early as 1904, the DSV was in the semi-finals for the second German championship (2: 3 n. V. against VfB Leipzig ). After five more finals, the Duisburg team reached their only final in 1913, which they also lost 3-1 to Leipzig. In total, they played eleven times for the championship by 1927. The game club was eliminated six more times in the West German finals.

From 1927 on, the DSV played no role nationwide for two decades. Only with the rise in the Oberliga West for the 1949/50 season did the game club draw attention to itself again. After relegation in 1951 to the 2nd League West , Duisburg returned to the top division in 1954, to which they belonged until 1962. As West runner-up behind Borussia Dortmund , they took part in the championship finals for the last time in 1957. One year after relegation in 1962, the club narrowly qualified for the new Regionalliga West in 1963. The merger took place a year later.

The DSV played in the Grunewald Stadium from 1905 to 1914 , and since then in the Duisburg Stadium , which is now the MSV Arena . The rest of the Duisburg gymnastics community merged in March 1921 with SV Borussia 1912 Rheinhausen, founded in 1912 as SV Borussia Friemersheim , to form the United Duisburger TV 1848 and SV Borussia Duisburg , or Turn-Borussia Duisburg for short .

The DSV should not be confused with today's DSV 1900 . This was founded in 1900 as SuS Germania Wanheimerort and merged in 1924 with FC Vorwärts Wanheimerort to form Duisburger SC 1900 . It was not renamed Duisburger SV 1900 until 1969 .

TuS Duisburg 48/99

The other original club of Eintracht Duisburg was founded in 1899 as Duisburger FK 1899 . In 1903 the club merged with SV Viktoria in 1893 to form Duisburger SV Viktoria 1899 . In August 1921, the five-month-old Turn-Borussia Duisburg joined. Just two years later, the resulting Duisburg TSV 1848 had to be separated again in the course of the clean divorce . The gymnasts formed the Duisburger TV 1848, the ball athletes the Duisburg TSV 1899 . In 1938, both clubs were reunited by the National Socialist Football Department to form TuS Duisburg 48/99 .

This club, as well as TSV 1899 before, replaced the game club as Duisburg number one as a Gauligist . With the exception of the 1935/36 season, the footballers played in the Gauliga until its end. After the war, they let themselves depend on the game club again, which, however, was also long in the shadow of the Meidericher SV , which emerged in the post-war period . From 1959 to 1963 the club played in the 2nd League West. After the club became West German amateur champions, he took part in the German amateur soccer championship in 1959 , team captain Paul Howahl led his team to the semifinals. The 48/99 never played in the major league and were relegated in the first regional league season. Then they immediately formed Eintracht Duisburg with the game club.

Soccer

When the Spielverein and TuS 48/99 joined forces to unite in 1964, Meidericher SV was able to celebrate the runner-up in the Bundesliga . Ambitious goals were pursued on the side of unity. They wanted “to be in the Bundesliga in two years”. Eleventh place in the table was reached in each of the first two regional league seasons. Financial problems ensured that Eintracht had to give up top performers year after year in order to survive economically.

In 1967 , Eintracht rose from bottom of the table in the Association League Niederrhein . There the team won the championship straight away and prevailed in the promotion round together with Bonner SC against SSV Hagen and SpVgg Erkenschwick . In the same year, a merger of the licensed player departments of Eintracht, MSV Duisburg and Hamborn 07 to form a 1. FC Duisburg was briefly considered, but this was never realized.

As penultimate, it went back to the Association League in 1969 . Here the harmony was always to be found in the upper half of the table, before relegation to the national league followed in 1976 . A year later it went down to the district league before Eintracht made it to the district league A in 1980. Currently (as of the 2019/20 season), the team plays in the ninth-class district league B. Since 1997, women's and girls' football has also been played at Eintracht. The first women's team currently plays (as of the 2019/20 season) in the district league, the U-17 girls' team played temporarily (1997 and 2006) in the Lower Rhine league.

fencing

history

founding

Fencing is mentioned for the first time in minutes of board meetings of the Duisburger Turnverein von 1848 eV in 1848. The first public fencing took place in public on August 23, 1853. The logs show that it was already about "modern" sport fencing and not about student fencing . In 1911 the fencing department was founded in the Duisburg gymnastics and sports club in 1848/99. The fencing floor (sports hall) was in the Burgacker.

Fencing ban in Germany

After the end of World War II, the Allies issued a control council directive No. 23 of December 17, 1945, prohibiting fencing. The fencers in Duisburg continue to train at the Kurhaus Raffelberg under the guise of amateur actors. In a letter dated March 21, 1950, the Allied High Commission approved the lifting of the fencing ban in Germany, and the fencers found a new home in the sports hall of the Gottfried-Könzgen-Schule (today Globus-Gesamtschule).

Spin-off of the Duisburg Fecht Club

At the end of 1965 there was a massive resignation of fencers, which arose due to financial differences with the board of the entire association in support of a fencing home in Hassum. The fencers who had resigned founded the Duisburg fencing club and kept the fencing floor in the Gottfried-Könzgen-Schule. The fencing department in Eintracht Duisburg was then rebuilt at the request of the board of directors of Helene Forg (hockey player at Eintracht Duisburg 1848 eV and fencer at Hamborn 07). The new fencing floor was in the club house on the Fugmann-Kampfbahn (now BSA-Wedau III), which had just been completed in 1964, in the upper hall together with the table tennis players. Helene Forg ran the department until 1998.

State base

The fencing department was from 1987 to 1993 together with the fencing club Moers state base in the women's and men's florets of North Rhine-Westphalia.

International coal and steel tournament

The fencing department of Eintracht Duisburg 1848 eV has been organizing the mining tournament on a regular basis since 1977. Until 1989, the Montan tournament was one of the largest fencing tournaments for foil in the region with more than 450 starters. During this time, starters such as the current IOC President Thomas Bach and Matthias Behr were represented . The NRW Ministry of Culture regularly provided awards for the best club. The number of participants fell sharply until the end of the 90s, this is due to a lack of organizational skills. The term “mining tournament” was chosen based on the city of Montan Duisburg , the term stands for the predominant steel and coal industry. The tournament took place from 1977 to 1999 in the Krefelder Strasse sports hall in Duisburg-Rheinhausen. Then the decision was made to organize it in their own fencing halls in the Duisburg Sports Park . In 2011 the tournament took a turn and was able to inspire the participants with good organization and a new branding. The slogan "Steel meets fire" on the subject of "Montan" and fencing underlines this new direction. Due to the large number of participants, the tournament will again take place in the Krefelder Straße sports hall and will include an annual cultural exchange “Sport meets Rhine-Ruhr Culture”.

successes

The fencing team of Eintracht Duisburg was able to win the German Cup in the men's floret in 1983 and 1984, in 1986 and 1990 they came second and 1985 third. With the women's floret team, you could reach third place in 1989. With Peter Kuhn , the club had a top-class fencer at the end of the 1970s, who several times achieved first places in the German championships in the Frisian fight , including a German championship. The junior teams were also first class in this discipline in the 1970s and won multiple German championship titles in the team and in the individual.

basketball

In 1951 a basketball department was founded at TuS Duisburg. On October 18, 1952, the association was a founding member of the Niederrhein basketball circle. Five district championship titles could be celebrated during the time at TuS: The men were successful in 1955 and 1964, the students in 1962 (today U16), in 1963 the male and female youth (today U18 and U17). After the merger to form Eintracht Duisburg, there were three more successes for the girls: 1972 the youth and 1974 and 1975 the junior women (today U19). In 1976 the basketball players left and founded the Basket Duisburg association.
