history
The club was founded on March 5, 1898 by 15 young people as FC Eintracht Hannover . In the first years of its existence, the club specialized in rugby and athletics . Football was played from 1901 - just as Hannover 96 switched from rugby to football in 1901 - whereupon Eintracht split. Since only seven Eintracht football players remained, a merger with Hannover 96 was briefly considered. In 1909, Eintracht won the city championship of Hanover for the first time. In the final round of the North German Championship they were eliminated in the first round after a 1: 5 against Eintracht Braunschweig .
A year later, Eintracht lost the playoff for the city championship against 96 unlucky with 0: 1. Only in 1912 did the title go back to Eintracht, which again met Braunschweiger Eintracht in the quarter-finals of the North German Championship. After a 3-1 half-time lead, the Braunschweig team won 4: 3 in extra time thanks to a goal from Otto Harder . In the 1913/14 season, Eintracht took part in the North German Association League and led them to the start of the season after four wins in a row before the team fell back to sixth place.
In 1919 the qualification for the north German finals succeeded again, where they lost in the semifinals with 1: 2 after extra time at Bremer SC 1891 . On December 17, 1919, Eintracht merged with the Turnerbund Hanover and MTV 1848 Hanover to form VfL Hanover . The footballers appeared as the sports department of Eintracht . Since the footballers felt marginalized, FC Eintracht Hannover was re-established on January 21, 1921 , which changed its name to SV Eintracht Hannover that same year .
Also in 1921, Eintracht reached the quarter-finals of the North Germans again, where they lost 4-1 to the eventual German champions Hamburger SV . During the 1920s, Eintracht was overtaken by local rivals 96 and SV Arminia and after a 2: 4 play-off defeat against Leu Braunschweig you had to relegate to the second division for the first time.
Even the English coach William Townley , who was engaged in 1933, could not bring about the hoped-for turnaround. Six years later, the club was on the brink of collapse because it could n't afford the urgent renovation of the place at the horse tower . In 1941, Eintracht merged with the Reichsbahn SV 1926 Hannover to form RSG Eintracht Hannover , which failed in 1941 in the promotion round to the Gauliga at LSV Wolfenbüttel . A year later, the rise finally succeeded. In the Gauliga, however, you couldn't get past the penultimate places.
After the Second World War , the association was dissolved. On September 16, 1945, the successor club Rot-Weiß Hannover was founded, which one year later changed its name to lawn sports club Eintracht Hannover . In 1954 there was a split into SV Eintracht Hannover and lawn SV Hannover . Today Eintracht plays in the district league Hannover-Stadt . With Thomas Frank , the club provides an assistant referee who is used in the Bundesliga .
