The FC Lübbecke (officially: Football Club Lübbecke von 1925 eV ) is a German football club from Lübbecke in North Rhine-Westphalia . It was founded on October 8th, 1925 and, along with clubs in three neighboring towns, is the highest-class team in the old Lübbecke district . The first soccer team played for six years in the highest amateur league in Westphalia. In addition to soccer, the club also offers badminton .

history

The association was founded on October 8, 1925. In 1939, FC Lübbecke joined the men's gymnastics club Lübbecke, which was founded on October 20, 1865 . This was banned at the end of the Second World War . TuS Lübbecke was founded as the successor association in February 1946 . In 1949, the soccer department split off from TuS as FC Lübbecke.

The Gellesch Elf (1945 to 1950)

After the end of the Second World War, the 20-time German national player Rudolf Gellesch moved to Lübbecke, who from then on was active as a player- coach for the soccer players of TuS Lübbecke . In the 1947/48 season the TuS was champion of the Herford district class and rose to the Westphalia regional league . At that time, the state league was the highest amateur league in Westphalia and formed the basis for the football Oberliga West .

In the 1948/49 promotion season , the "Gellesch-Elf" was runner-up in Group 3 behind Arminia Bielefeld . The highlight of the season was a 3-1 away win against Arminia. A year later , the club, now known as FC Lübbecke, qualified for the single-track national league. Coach Gellesch said goodbye to Eintracht Trier at the end of the season .

National league years (1950 to 1959)

In the 1950/51 season , the Lübbecker were seventh in the single-track Landesliga Westfalen. A year later , the highest victory in the Westphalian upper house was achieved with a 9: 1 against Sportfreunde Gladbeck . In 1952 the single track became a five-track national league. Surprising victories such as a 2-0 win against champions VfB 03 Bielefeld in the 1952/53 season were achieved there . A year later , the team rose as the penultimate in the district class.

In 1956, the Lübbecker were again district class champions and thus returned to the state league, which was only the second highest division in Westphalia after the introduction of the association league in the same year. The team stayed in the national league until 1959, before relegation followed. The low point of the season was a 1:11 defeat at champions Union Herford .

Decline (since 1959)

In the district class, the Lübbecker were almost passed through to the district class in the 1959/60 season. In 1962 and 1963 it was enough for the club to be runner-up in the district class behind SuS Herford and TuRa Löhne . In 1968, the Lübbecker relegated to the 1st district class, but managed to move up again directly. After three years of relegation battle, it went back down to the 1st district class in 1972, which was renamed district league A in 1977. In the first year under the new name, the FCL was relegated. In 1980, the Lübbecker returned to the district upper house and between 1987 and 1989 they again reached the district league for two years.

In the 2000s, the FCL became an elevator team between the district league A and B. Since its promotion in 2007, FC Lübbecke has played in the district league A. Highlights of recent years were fourth places in the seasons 2008/09, 2009/10 and 2013/14. During the 2017/18 season, the team was withdrawn from the current season.

Youth work

In 1966, FC Lübbecke wrote history and founded the first e-youth team in the old Lübbecke district . The committed youth work soon bore fruit. Numerous district championships and district cups were won. The FC youth team should be particularly successful. She played in the Westphalia League and produced the future German national player and top scorer in the Belgian first division, Harald Nickel .

Venue

FC Lübbecke has always played its home games in the stadium on Obernfelder Allee . The main entrance used to be accessible via a large staircase from Osnabrücker Straße. With the sporting downturn, the interest in the club's games decreased and the large entrance area was no longer used. Today you can reach the sports field through the direct entrance from Obernfelder Allee.
