FC Brunsviga 1896 Braunschweig

The FC Brunsviga was a short-lived football club from the early days of club football in Braunschweig .

history

In 1896, graduates of the ducal teachers' seminar founded FC Brunsviga as the second Braunschweig football club after the Eintracht Braunschweig football and cricket club, which had been in existence for a year . The founding of Brunsviga fell into a phase in which numerous clubs and groups emerged, which started an unorganized football game on Leonhardplatz. Brunsviga, which soon left the framework of the teachers' seminar and also accepted other members, developed well and was even able to defeat Eintracht a few times. The first comparison on February 13, 1898, however, was lost with 0:12. But the club of prospective teachers kept losing players to Braunschweig's oldest club, presumably because Eintracht was more ambitious and was looking for opponents from all over Germany at an early stage, while Brunsviga limited itself to the narrow Braunschweig area.

The club was a founding member of the German Football Association on January 28, 1900 . He was represented in Leipzig by Eintracht chairman Karl Stansch. But the association was dissolved as early as 1901. Numerous members then joined Eintracht Braunschweig, including the later Eintracht chairman Willi Steinhof . The last game against Eintracht was recorded in their chronicle on April 15, 1900, a 2: 7 defeat.
