The FTSV Fichte Bielefeld (officially: Freie Turn- und Sportvereinigung Fichte Bielefeld eV ) was a sports club from Bielefeld . The first soccer team once took part in the German championship of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association (ATSB).

history

The association was based in the eastern Bielefeld district of Sieker , where traditionally many industrial workers lived. The exact founding date of the association is not known. In the early years there was gymnastics at Fichte , but there was also a theater group , a brass band and a drum and pipe corps. In 1912 the club finally established a football division. Initially, Fichtes played footballers on the town wood, before the sports field on Wiehagen, known as the crooks' area , was later used.

The football department took part in the game operations of the ATSB and was first Bielefeld district champion in 1929 and later after a 4-0 win against FT Frisch Auf Delmenhorst champion of the 11th district. The Bielefeld team was qualified for the German ATSB championship in 1929 , where Fichte met on Lorbeer 06 Hamburg around Erwin Seeler , the father of Uwe Seeler . In front of 5,000 spectators in Hamburg, the Bielefeld team led 2-1 up to ten minutes before the final whistle, but then lost 3-2. Fichte was also successful at the local level in the following years and was again Bielefeld district champion in 1932 and 1933.

With Karl Beckmann and Jack Holtkamp the FTSV Fichte provided two German national workers. Both were used twice each. With the seizure of power of the Nazis on 30 January 1933, the end of the association was initiated. On May 15, 1933, the FTSV Fichte Bielefeld was dissolved. The majority of the members then joined the bourgeois local rival Bielefelder SpVgg . After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the FTSV Fichte was re-established, but soon merged with the Bielefelder SpVgg to become SpVgg Fichte Bielefeld . This in turn merged on July 1, 1999 with VfB 03 Bielefeld to form VfB Fichte Bielefeld .
