The FC Germania Friedrichstal is the only football club in Friedrichstal , a district of Stutensee , north of Karlsruhe . In the club founded in 1913, tennis has been played in addition to football since 1972. In 1972, the footballers made the leap to the top amateur class, in which they could not hold on. Since then, Germania Friedrichstal, from whose youth Jens Nowotny emerged as a national player in the 1990s, has played in the higher regional leagues.
history
The club founded on November 23, 1913 in the “Zum Hirsch” inn did not appear in national football in the first decades of its existence. Due to the inflation prevailing in Germany, the club, which had run into economic difficulties, had to temporarily stop playing between 1925 and the beginning of 1928. The sporting highlight of the time up to the Second World War was the Germania decider for the district championship in 1931, in which FV Linkenheim was defeated in front of a record crowd of 1,300 spectators.
After the end of the war, all pre-war clubs were merged in Friedrichstal under the name Sportfreunde Friedrichstal . On January 1, 1946, the reorganization of FC Germania took place. However, this name only lasted for a short time, in 1951 the club entered the club register under the old name of the Germania Friedrichstal football club . Sporting successes were rare in the first two decades of the post-war period, in 1948 the relay championship in the A-class was celebrated.
At the end of the 1960s, the promotion to the national leagues succeeded for the first time. Under the coach Manfred Eglin , who had been working for the club since 1963 , FC Germania became A-Class relay champion in 1968 and was promoted to the 2nd amateur league. Just four years later, now under Ludolf Hyll, since Eglin had left the club in 1970 for Alemannia Eggenstein , he made the leap to the "Amateur Upper House", the 1st Amateur League North Baden. The Teutons were only able to stay here for two seasons and were relegated in 1974.
In the decades that followed, the Germanic peoples held themselves almost consistently in higher-class regional football, mostly in the state and district league, but never got beyond the level of the association league. In the 2009/10 season, the Teutons were runner-up in the Nordbaden Association League and thus qualified for the relegation round for promotion to the Baden-Württemberg Oberliga . After Friedrichstal had initially prevailed against the second of the Association League South Baden , the Offenburg FV , they failed at the vice-champion of the Association League Württemberg , VfB Neckarrems with 0: 2 (away) and 1: 2 (in Friedrichstal).
At the end of the association league season 2013/14, they moved into the promotion round as third-placed, because the runner-up waived. There Friedrichstal was able to prevail against SV Linx and SV Göppingen and thus rose to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. The Teutons were able to stay there for two years and were relegated to the Nordbaden Association League in the 2016/17 season. The direct return to the league succeeded in the following year, but Germania rose again in 2019.
FC Germania Friedrichstal has also had a tennis department since 1972.
Venue
FC Germania Friedrichstal has been playing its home games on today's club grounds south of the town on the road between Leopoldshafen and Staffort since 1920. In 1932 a club house was built on the sports field and inaugurated at Pentecost 1933. The clubhouse was first rebuilt in 1948 and expanded again in 1955. In 1965 a second soccer field was built on the site and, after the tennis department was founded in 1972, tennis courts were also created. A third soccer field followed in 1998. The old clubhouse was demolished in 1977 and replaced by a new building, which was inaugurated in 1978.
