The Itzehoer Sportverein von 1909 eV was a sports club from Itzehoe in Schleswig-Holstein that existed from 1909 until its bankruptcy in 2018 . After the Second World War, the ISV footballers were among the strongest clubs in Schleswig-Holstein for several decades and achieved their greatest success when they participated in the then first-class Oberliga Nord in 1950/51 . Fourteen years later, with promotion to the Regionalliga Nord, the club made another leap into the - after the introduction of the Bundesliganow second class - top division of the North German Football Association. The Steinburg team stayed there for a total of nine seasons before they missed qualifying for the 2nd Bundesliga in 1974 .

After Itzehoer SV was already in third place behind Holstein Kiel and VfB Lübeck in a national comparison in its regional league time, it achieved the best placement for the first and only time with 8th place in the 1974/75 Oberliga season of all teams from Schleswig-Holstein. In the next three decades, the eight-time SHFV national champion took part several times in national games in the third or (from 1994) fourth class league before the football department was spun off from the ISV and merged with FC Itzehoe for a few years . The Itzehoers were also known nationwide for their bowling department, which played in the 1st bowling league, among other things.

history

The club was founded on October 3, 1909 as the Soccer Club Prussia from 1909 . This merged in 1945 with Askania , an association of the ATSB , which was dissolved in 1933 , and the athletics and football club Eintracht to form ISV ​​09. As early as 1923, Prussia and Askania had played a soccer game against each other with the approval of the NFV , an unusual event at the time, since “civil” and workers' sports were strictly separated from each other.

While Itzehoer SV has essentially consisted of the two branches football and bowling since its foundation, the predecessor club Prussia Itzehoe also operated other sports. Among other things, the athletes who were represented by several female athletes at the German Championships were successful. At the German Athletics Championships in 1929 , Annchen Groth (gold), Käthe Alpen (silver) and Ilse Laumann (bronze) came from Itzehoe, all of the top three ball throwers.

In December 2017 it became known that Itzehoer SV was insolvent and would file for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy petition was filed in January 2018. The game operation has continued since then and the league in the association league "actually" still managed. On June 1, 2018, however, the insolvency proceedings were opened and the association was thus dissolved. Itzehoer SV 2.0 was founded as the successor association .

history

Pre-war as Prussia Itzehoe

While the predecessor clubs Askania and Eintracht did not appear nationally with their football divisions at any time, this was different at FC Preußen Itzehoe : as early as the 1910s, the club belonged to the top divisions, whose names changed as often as the division of the Leagues. In 1919/20 Prussia became champions of the top division in the Schleswig district, which at that time included not only clubs from the Schleswig-Holstein part of Schleswig, but also from Dithmarschen and the Steinburg district . In the subsequent final round of the North German Championship, however, Prussia Itzehoe failed in the first round at the Lübeck gymnastics club (2: 7).

Also in the following years the Itzehoer belonged to the top division in Schleswig-Holstein, but almost consistently achieved placements in the lower third of the table. After the football revolution , but at the latest with the introduction of the Gauligen in 1933, the importance of Prussia Itzehoe declined: the club remained in second and third class until the end of the Second World War, although Werner Widmayer, a national player, joined the club in 1933. The “leading football force” in the Steinburg district at this time was Fortuna Glückstadt : the club also played for three years in the Gauligen Nordmark and Schleswig-Holstein regions.

1945 to 1951: The most successful time of the Itzehoer East Prussia

Since a readmission under the name Prussia Itzehoe could not hope for the approval of the British military government, the club merged with Askania and Eintracht to form Itzehoer Sportverein from 1909 after the end of the Second World War . The political circumstances of the post-war period had a considerable influence on the ISV from the start: with the refugees from the former German states on the other side of the Oder-Neisse line , first-class football players came to Schleswig-Holstein from 1945 and were initially divided into around a dozen Associations in the northernmost state. Like no other club in the state, the Itzehoer benefited from this development and from 1946 onwards - not only in Schleswig-Holstein - successfully tried to expand their squad to include refugee footballers . After Kurt Baluses , Kurt Krause and Kurt Lingnau (all three from Eckernförder SV ), Erwin Scheffler (from Rot-Weiß Niebüll ), Hans Klinger (from TuS Nortorf ), Rudolf Schönbeck (most recently in Berlin) joined the club, the club decided At times together with Gerhard Reich , who immediately joined the ISV, over (at least) seven kickers alone, who played for the last five-time East Prussian subscription master VfB Königsberg before the end of the Second World War , so that the ISV team itself already "VfB Königsberg" was called. There were also players from other former Eastern clubs such as Fritz Langner from Breslau (also came from Eckernförder SV) or Kurt Dittmer from Stettin (came from SpVgg Erkenschwick ). Heinz Priebe was the only and at the same time most successful Itzehoer in the team at that time, although other Itzehoers such as Helmut Schmuck and Hugo Ohlsen were also part of the team. With Ekkehard Kunkel (also came from Eckernförder SV) another Schleswig-Holsteiner was there. Before 1945, Baluses, Krause, Lingnau, Scheffler, Schönbeck (East Prussia), Langner (Silesia) and Dittmer (Pomerania) were selected players in their regional associations.

With the new squad, Itzehoer SV quickly rose to a top team in Schleswig-Holstein. At the Schleswig-Holstein state championship in 1946/47 , the Steinburger qualified for the finals with narrow victories against Flensburg 08 and the Lübeck BV-Phoenix . Here they played together with VfB Lübeck , Holstein Kiel and Kilia Kiel for the two Schleswig-Holstein places in the new Oberliga Nord, which was to form the top division of the future states of Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. After an opening defeat at VfB Lübeck, the ISV made their home games against Holstein (2: 1) and VfB (2: 2) successful and - despite a 3-0 defeat at last-placed FC Kilia - the promotion to the first class was in their own hands . In the decisive game they lost to KSV Holstein on June 8, 1947 and ultimately had to make do with a place in the state league. Itzehoe played a dominant role there, especially in the first two seasons and secured the state championships ahead of Kilia Kiel (1948) and Eutin 08 (1949). The promotion games were initially less successful: In both 1948 and 1949, the ISV footballers finished the promotion round tied with another team on the last promotion place, which made playoffs necessary in both seasons: in 1948 the Schleswig-Holsteiners were defeated by the 1st SC Göttingen 05 , 1949 they failed in this phase due to Harburg TB .

In 1950, the Steinburg team won their third Schleswig-Holstein championship under player-coach Kurt Baluses, but the way there was much more bumpy after being nine points behind the Lübeck BV-Phoenix. Nevertheless, they succeeded in the targeted promotion to the first class in the third attempt: After an opening defeat at Blumenthaler SV , the footballers from Sportpark am Lehmwohld scored 6: 0 points from the next three games and thus supposedly secured an early promotion. An association decision, however , meant that Eintracht Osnabrück overtook the ISV with a catch-up game at the end of the round and its promotion was in danger again - a protest by the Steinburger against this decision led to an increase in the league and made the leap into the first division perfect. In its only league season, Itzehoer SV had a difficult time from the start and could not keep up with the big clubs of the North German Football Association. Among other things, against the league primus Hamburger SV (0: 9) or the 1. SC Göttingen 05 (1: 8) it set in part significant defeats, which ensured the early relegation to amateur football. With 9:55 not only 17 points were missing to achieve relegation - in the all-time table of the first-class Oberliga Nord, the ISV is also in last place.

1951 to 1965: The ISV in the amateur league Schleswig-Holstein

The geographical and economic location of the city and the club prevented the permanent leap into the field of semi-professional football in the 1950s. Several top performers left Itzehoer SV at this time and moved partly within Schleswig-Holstein, but partly - as in the case of Erwin Scheffler, who went to the south-west upper division 1. FC Kaiserslautern - beyond the national borders. Nonetheless, the Steinburger remained a top team in the Schleswig-Holstein Football Association and had several realistic prospects of a return to the Oberliga Nord. In the 1951/52 season that followed directly after relegation to the league, the state championship was missed in a particularly dramatic way: On Good Friday 1952, the ISV footballers made a guest appearance as leaders at VfB Lübeck at the Lohmühle , which had 14,000 spectators, and managed the 0-0 goal - Tie until the end of the game. In the 89th minute of the game, however , Horst Kiow managed to score the decisive goal for the hosts' 1-0 victory, which on the one hand led to tumultuous scenes on the field from cheering Lübeck spectators, but on the other hand met with vigorous opposition from the Itzehoer players. From the point of view of Itzehoer, the corner kick that preceded the hit had not yet been released, which is why the guests no longer carried out the subsequent kick-off in protest and spent the two-minute stoppage time standing still on the pitch.

In 1954 the ISV won its fourth national championship and moved back to the league for the first time after relegation in 1951. Here, however, there was no chance, among other things because goalkeeper Rudolf Schönbeck, one of the top performers, was seriously injured shortly before the start of the promotion games. A little later, Schönbeck took over the coaching position from successful coach Baluse, although the resulting upheaval in the team initially had no major impact on the Steinburger's performance. Two third places in the seasons 1955/56 and 1956/57 followed with the runner-up in 1957/58 namely the third participation in the promotion round, which almost brought the surprising promotion back to the league: With the successful home games against the favored teams of ASV Bergedorf 85 (7: 1) and SV Arminia Hannover (2: 1), the Schleswig-Holsteiners developed an excellent starting position and could have secured the return to the first class with a draw in the final away game at Bergedorf. In front of 18,000 spectators, however, they lost 2: 5 in Hamburg and remained in the amateur league.

In the following years, the ISV footballers slipped into the midfield of the amateur league Schleswig-Holstein, which was only third class after the introduction of the Bundesliga from 1963. Nevertheless, the goal was set as quickly as possible to move up to the second-rate Regionalliga Nord, which had replaced the Oberliga as the highest division of the North German Football Association. After an exciting race with the West Coast rival Heider SV , the Holsteiners secured their fifth national championship in 1964/65 and also successfully contested the subsequent promotion round: After a 1-0 victory at TSR Olympia Wilhelmshaven , they returned to the national football back.

1965 to 1974: Nine seasons in the relegation battle of the Regionalliga

In view of the sometimes extremely prominent and ambitious competition with which the ISV-Elf had to compete in the regional league from now on, the fight to keep relegation remained a great challenge in the years to come. This was due not least to the fact that the ISV, as a club from a rural medium- sized town in Schleswig-Holstein, had significantly fewer financial opportunities than most of the other regional league clubs : while Peter Flegel and Eberhard Herbst were two former professional players from Hanover for the first season 96 , the ISV recruited its reinforcements mainly from the amateur camp in the coming years. Accordingly, the West Coast footballers found themselves almost consistently in the lower half of the table, but always managed to stay in the league in the first few years by several points.

In the regional league, they met national rivals Holstein Kiel, among others

At the beginning of the 1970s, the relegation battle of the Regionalliga was much more exciting and often lasted until the last match day. In 1969/70 Itzehoe was finally saved on the last game day with a 2-1 win over VfB Oldenburg , the following year the Steinburger had to tremble until the penultimate game day. Despite relatively well-known additions, including from VfB Lübeck and FC St. Pauli , the 1972/73 season finally became the most dramatic regional league year for Itzehoer footballers: After they lost 3-0 in derby against Heider SV on the penultimate match day had slipped a relegation place, they needed a point win against the heavily favored VfL Osnabrück to maintain the league membership. After a 0-1 deficit, Erich Roschkowski had the opportunity to equalize with a penalty, but failed in two attempts - the first attempt had to be repeated due to a rule violation by the Osnabrück goalkeeper - against VfL goalkeeper Werner Kamper. Itzehoer SV would actually have been relegated on points with OSV Hannover due to the poorer goal difference, but benefited from a subsequently decided increase in the league to 19 teams.

In the year of qualification for the 2nd Bundesliga, no great chances of reaching the new professional league were expected, and from the outset they aimed to participate in the future Oberliga Nord. As 17th, the direct qualification for this division was initially missed, but with four wins in the relegation round against 1. FC Phönix Lübeck, Büdelsdorfer TSV , VfL Pinneberg and VfR Neumünster , it was still relatively sovereign in retrospect. Overall, after their promotion, the Holsteiners belonged to the regional league for nine years and occupy eleventh place in the all-time table of this division . In terms of the number of seasons as well as the points collected, Itzehoer SV was the most successful club from the Schleswig-Holstein Football Association after Holstein Kiel and VfB Lübeck.

1974 to 1994: Itzehoe between third and fifth league

With regard to the national comparison, the first league season should also offer something special: As eighth place in the new division, you were number one in the northernmost state for the first and only time ahead of the competition from Kiel and Lübeck. Similar to previous years, the Itzehoer Oberliga times should be characterized by constant relegation battle. In 1975/76 they were only penultimate, but thanks to the promotion of two North German clubs (Arminia Hannover and VfL Wolfsburg ) to the 2nd Bundesliga, they were still able to keep their class. At the end of the 1970s, the Steinburger had to struggle with ever greater economic problems with a simultaneous decline in audience numbers. Nevertheless, the ISV-Elf continued to hold their own in the third division and even achieved a placement in the secured midfield again in 1979/80. When finally relegation took place in 1981, Itzehoer SV returned to the fourth-class association league after sixteen seasons above the SHFV level in a row - in Schleswig-Holstein to this day only Holstein Kiel and VfB Lübeck have succeeded. However, the club's high debts were also noticeable in the highest national league and contributed to the fact that the club was no longer part of the national top for the first time in several decades. 1983 even threatened to crash into sporting insignificance, whereby the ISV was able to prevent relegation to the fifth division by a 1: 1 on the last match day against TSV Plön .

After the sale of some of the assets, the financial problems could be alleviated somewhat from the mid-1980s, which is why the club was able to build on more successful times in terms of sport at that time: In 1985, coach Volker Bernsee formed a team that was made up of both young and experienced talent ISV players, some of whom competed in the regional league for Steinburger. With this team you came out again in the top group of the league and could win the championship in 1985 and 1986. With the title in 1986, the West Coast footballers became the (joint) record champions in SHFV for three years. Ultimately, however, the high-altitude flight was short-lived, as the return to the league was not successful in both years. After the second failure in the promotion round, several top performers left the club and the club fell back into midfield of the association league.

In 1988/89 relegation to the fifth class national league took place for the first time, which, however, was completed as a master and could immediately be left again. Nevertheless, the ISV-Elf remained in this phase of their club history always in the lower half of the table of the top national division. This only changed with the introduction of the Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein Oberliga for the 1994/95 season. Just in time for this league reform, Itzehoe was among the top six teams for the first time in seven years and was thus back in national football after thirteen years.

1994 to 2018: From national football to the dissolution of the club

After a close relegation in the opening season, Itzehoer SV stayed in the safe midfield of the Oberliga Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein in the coming years and even made it into the top third of the table in 1999. Once again, however, it was financial problems that prevented the footballers from Lehmwohld from establishing themselves in national football. Long-standing disputes with the main sponsors also affected the league team, which had to leave the league as penultimate in 1999/2000 - in retrospect, this was the last fourth division season in the club's history of Itzehoer SV in 1909. The sporting situation was initially by no means hopeless : Unlike in the 1980s, the West Coast footballers were again among the stronger teams in the league and, with a title win in the association league season 2004/05, they also acquired the right to play in the major league again. However, the economic situation was also the decisive problem in 2005, which prevented the eighth - and final - state championship from being used for a promotion again. Following this decision, Itzehoer SV increasingly fell back in terms of sport and, as the reigning champion, had to accept relegation to the regional league. As in 1990, the district townspeople achieved immediate resurgence, but were also unable to match their earlier successes in the Schleswig-Holstein League: With only nine points collected, the last and final relegation from the top division of Schleswig-Holstein took place in 2010.

For the 2010/11 season, the tradition of the ISV men ended as an independent team: In the sixth-class Verbandsliga Schleswig-Holstein South-West they formed a syndicate with Türk Spor Itzehoe and were even extremely successful in winning the championship. Due to the SHFV statutes, however, the syndicate was not allowed to advance to the Schleswig-Holstein league. The soccer divisions of ISV and Türk Spor were subsequently spun off from their clubs and, despite some internal disagreements on the ISV side, merged to form FC Itzehoe . The short history of the FCI was ultimately shaped by its economic situation and ended in a withdrawal into the seventh-class district league.

The failure of FC Itzehoe enabled the footballers to make one last comeback under the umbrella of the traditional Itzehoe club. In the 2016/17 season, the first team reached fourth place in the table and was promoted to the Association League, which is now called Association League West after another redesign . There, with a 12th place in the 2017/18 season, the more than one hundred years of football tradition in the subsequently dissolved Itzehoer Sportverein from 1909 ended.

League affiliation

With the exception of the 1989/90 and 2006/07 seasons, when the team was relegated to the regional and regional leagues, after the Second World War, the ISV played at least in the highest Schleswig-Holstein division with different players until its provisionally last season in 2010 Names (state league, 1st amateur league, association league, from 2008/09: Schleswig-Holstein League ) and the class rank from second class (1947–1963) to fifth class. The Itzehoer SV football team was Schleswig-Holstein champions eight times. The following timeline provides an overview of the league membership from 1947 to 2010:

Participation in other competitions

In its club history, Itzehoer SV took part in several cup competitions at the federal, regional association or state level. In the DFB Cup it was represented a total of five times, reaching in 1977/78 by a 2: 1 win over Borussia fire from Aachen once the second round of the competition. One of the highlights of the club's history is the clash with the then top club 1. FC Köln the year before, even if the encounter with the eventual cup winners was lost 7-0.

In order to qualify for the DFB Cup, the West Coast footballers first had to pass the NFV Cup, which was played from 1952. In ten participations, the ISV passed the first main round seven times and was also successful in the third and last main round in 1967: After victories over BV Cloppenburg (6: 1) and Eintracht Bremen (5: 0), a 2: 1 success after extra time against Arminia Hannover, the entry into the DFB-Pokal. From the 1974/75 season onwards, the SHFV Cup , which Itzehoe had already won twice, was of greater importance, since the DFB Cup participants were now determined by the regional associations. After a 1-0 final victory, the Steinburger prevailed in the first season with the new competition mode and won the final 1-0 against Holstein Kiel. Ten years later, the fourth national cup victory followed.

Outside of the league game operations took place in 1952, 1975 and 1977 also three participations in the German amateur championship . The Holsteiners only got beyond the first round in 1975, when they defeated SV Meppen 3-2 on a two-way leg. In the quarter-finals, the eventual finalists SC Victoria Hamburg were eliminated in the extension of the second leg.

More teams

The Itzehoer SV amateurs moved in 1966/67 through the disqualification of TSV Brunsbüttelkoog in the promotion round to the amateur league Schleswig-Holstein and prevailed there with two narrow successes against Eichholzer SV and DGF Flensborg . Since relatively few teams from Schleswig-Holstein made permanent promotion to national leagues, Itzehoer SV was only the third club after Holstein Kiel and VfR Neumünster that was represented with its second team in the highest national league. The ISV II spent a total of five seasons there and in 1968/69 - despite being relegated at the end of the season - was the strongest reserve team in the SHFV for the first time.

In the youth sector in Schleswig-Holstein, the cities of Kiel and Lübeck dominated with several clubs. Nevertheless, several successes could also be recorded on the west coast. With the young men, the ISV reached its first state championships in 1952 and 1953 and, after winning the third title in 1960, also took part in the North German finals for the first time. The Steinburger had to admit defeat to Hamburger SV 2: 4 in the semifinals and after they achieved third place through a subsequent 4: 2 win over Eintracht Bremen. In the following decades, the three-time qualification for competitions at the federal level achieved: the A-juniors were in the DFB Junior Club Cup in 1989/90 and the German Championship 1976/77 in part, the B-juniors were in the German Championship 1987/88 represented . In all three competitions, the Steinburger - like most of the other representatives of Schleswig-Holstein in national competitions - were eliminated in the first round. In 1997/98 the U19 team was also active in the first-class Regionalliga Nord for one year.

Rivalries

In its club history, the ISV had several competitors at the local level, within the Steinburg district these were for example Fortuna Glückstadt and TSV Lägerdorf at different times . Traditionally, there was also a longstanding rivalry with Heider SV from the neighboring district of Dithmarschen . In the west coast derby, Itzehoe and Heide, the only two clubs from the rural west of the state met each other that achieved promotion to the first-class Oberliga Nord or the second-class Regionalliga Nord. In addition, the teams from the two district towns often acted under similar conditions in the post-war period and were accordingly often on an equal footing.

The following timeline gives an overview of the best-placed team from today's West Coast football district - which includes the districts of Dithmarschen and Steinburg, but not North Friesland - up to 2010.

Bowling department

The bowling department of Itzehoer SV from 1909 was founded in the post-war year 1946. Their athletes practiced mainly the Sport Bowling to Bohle lanes , partly on three tracks , and were able to celebrate a number of successes over the decades. This historic division dissolved in the middle of 2010; Her successor is the Itzehoer Sportkegler (VISK) eV, which aims to combine tradition and progress and make bowling even more popular in the Steinburg district town and promote it further.

The precision athletes of ISV 09 last took part - in the 2009/10 season - with three teams in the point game operation of the German Bohle Kegler Verband (DBKV) eV and the Schleswig-Holstein Keglerverband (SHKV) eV. In addition, numerous national, national and European cup players as well as various champions and medal winners in the individual, pair and team competitions from the district, district, regional and national level were to be found in their ranks.

The 1st Kegel team became champions of the then 2nd Bundesliga North in the 1994/95 sporting year and thus achieved promotion to the 1st Kegel Bundesliga . The greatest successes of the performance team there were the title of German runner-up in the 1995/96 season and the repetition of this success in the 2004/05 league series.
