history
WSV Judenburg
The WSV Judenburg, which was founded as the Judenburg sports club on March 12, 1901, played as the Black Elf Judenburg from December 22, 1910 (founding club of the Styrian football association in 1911), and from August 1, 1920 as the AAC (Workers' Athletics Club) Judenburg, from 1934 under the club name SV (Sportverein) Judenburg, from 1945 as SC (Sportclub) Judenburg and from 1956 as WSV (Werkssportverein) Judenburg, named after the large factory for stainless and cast steel processing, by far the largest employer in Judenburg Time. In the 1955/1956 season, the championship title in the “1. Class North-West ”and after successful promotion games against Hönigsberg the first participation in the highest Styrian league, the“ Landesliga ”, was certain. For 18 years, up to the 1973/1974 season, the WSV Judenburg was always represented in the Styrian regional league and was able to achieve the runner-up title in the 1963/1964 and 1964/1965 season as its greatest success. This second place in the table entitled to take part in the Austrian Football Cup, where one of the most traditional Austrian football clubs, FK Austria Wien , was also a guest in Judenburg in August 1965 . The WSV Judenburg (club colors red and white) played its home games at the Bahnhofstrasse sports field, a venue on the premises of Judenburger Gußstahlwerke AG. This square had the appearance characteristic of the time, a natural grandstand on the west side and wooden barracks as changing rooms for the two teams and the trio of referees. The numerous spectators were right on the edge of the field only through a sparse wooden barrier (a maximum of 2 meters from the outline) and thus contributed significantly to the dreaded home advantage. At that time field handball was also played there.
Blue Elf Judenburg
The Blaue Elf Judenburg was founded in 1948 by football enthusiasts who had to leave their home in southern Europe in the course of the chaos of the Second World War and fled to Austria. The so-called “Lager Liechtenstein” and “Lager Murdorf” were created, where thousands of men and women, but also many children, found accommodation. From these two camps a soccer team developed, which in 1948 was registered with the Styrian soccer association as the "Blue Elf Judenburg". Due to the restrictions on foreigners, all of these people were not citizens of the Republic of Austria at the time, the Blue Elf Judenburg could not advance despite multiple championship titles and thus always remained in the last division at that time "Kreis Murtal" or later renamed to "2. Class Murtal "and" 2. North-west class ". In the 1959/1960 season, the first athletic and statute-compliant promotion to the “1. Class Murtal ”, whereby the successful championship year could be ended unbeaten. In 1966/1967 the next championship title could be celebrated and the Blue Elf Judenburg rose to the then second highest Styrian league, the "Unterliga Nord". After two seasons it was time to say goodbye again and in the 1974/1975 game year they were promoted to the "Lower League North", where they stayed until the 1979/1980 season. The last championship title came in 1984/1985, but this was followed by immediate relegation to the "Murtal Regional League". There, too, one could not keep up and immediately rose again, this time to the "1. Class Murtal ”.
Merger and other important seasonal balances up to 2020
Ultimately, sporting and economic reasons led to merging these two clubs into a common Judenburg football club. The fusion club WSV / BE Judenburg won the championship title in the 1st class Oberes Murtal in 1990/1991, 1992/1993 champion of the Murtal regional league, 1994/1995 (already as FC Judenburg) again champion of the Murtal regional league, 2000/2001 master of the Unterliga Nord B, 2002/2003 champion of the Oberliga Nord and promotion to the Styrian regional league. However, after only one season with a tie, the relegation had to be accepted due to the poorer goal difference. In the 2014/2015 season, they were promoted to the Oberliga Nord again, with 23 out of 26 games won. In the 2019/2020 season, FC Judenburg became autumn champions of the Oberliga Nord and was well on the way to returning to the Styrian regional league. Due to the extraordinary situation surrounding the spread of the corona virus ( COVID-19 pandemic ), the 2019/2020 season was canceled by decision of the ÖFB Presidium on April 15, 2020 and will not be counted.
