history

FT Blankenese

The club was founded on May 7, 1907 in the "Johannesburg" on the Elbchaussee with the club name Freie Turnerschaft Blankenese as a workers' sports club . In 1912 a football department was established within the FT.

Until the end of the empire (1918) the FT Blankenese was under constant observation by the authorities. Because the free gymnastics associations are not viewed as gymnastics clubs, but as political associations. That is why the Freie Turnerschaft Blankenese-Dockenhuden is not to be found in the register of associations of the Blankenese district court, but rather in the files of the police (available in the Hamburg State Archives, 331-3 Politische Polizei S 3784 - 17). It has been proven that the Blankenese head of office, Freytag, accompanied a Free Turner event in November 1909, not for the first and not for the last time with a handful of policemen.

In football, the FT succeeded in advancing from the lowest to the highest division within four years after the First World War . In 1924, the Blankenese were finally first class.

SV Comet 09

In 1909 the workers' sports club Sport-Verein Komet was founded in 1909 in the then still independent Pinneberg rural community of Groß-Flottbek . In 1920 he won the Hamburg-Altona championship in workers' sport, in which clubs from the outskirts of the cities of Altona and Hamburg also took part. In 1923 Komet took part in the German finals for the championship of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Federation (ATSB). After a 1-0 victory over Eintracht Kassel , the comet was eliminated in the semifinals with 1: 3 at Alemania 22 Berlin .

FTSV Comet Blankenese

In 1925 the footballers of the sports club Komet 09 and FT Blankenese merged. The team took on the nickname Comet. There were two reasons for the unification: on the one hand, the Komet 09 sports club was significantly weakened by numerous departures, on the other hand Blankenese was in the relegation final after only one year in the A-class. By merging, the new team took Komet's place in the A-Class. This was also the prime of the workers' sports movement. The merged team became a competitor of the Hamburg subscription champion SC Lorbeer 06 in football , but could never qualify for the German finals.

The workers' sports movement came to an abrupt end with the seizure of power in 1933. The Komet Blankenese association was banned and the association's assets were confiscated.

Immediately after the war, the club was re-established in July 1945 under the name of the Free Gymnastics and Sports Association “Komet” Blankenese . On February 22, 1946, the Dockenhudener SV from 1924 , which was the football department of the Dockenhudener Turnerschaft 1896 until 1924 , joined the re-founded club. Komet Blankenese managed to move up to the third-class Germania Association League with players like Rolf Eggerstedt, Horst Dehn and Hermann Flügge in 1954. In 1957, Komet missed promotion to the second-rate Hamburg amateur league with a 4-1 defeat against HEBC Hamburg in front of 17,000 spectators in the Millerntor Stadium . 1958 finally succeeded after only one defeat during the entire season of promotion. Although Dehn had switched to Hamburger SV , Komet was able to hold two seasons in midfield and closed the seasons 1958/59 with 29-31 points as eighth, 1959/60 with a balanced point balance even as sieve. In 1961, however, the financial means were exhausted and Komet could no longer hold in Hamburg's top division.

By 1974 the football men were relegated to the 7th division. With the return to the sixth division in 1977, Komet began a new upswing. As early as 1979 they were back in the fifth-class state league Hammonia and from 1984 back in the association league, which Komet belonged to nine seasons until 1994 only through a one-year relegation to the state league (1988/89). The relegation season 1993/94 came with only eight points and 131 goals conceded to such a debacle that Komet could not hold even in the state league and in 1996 found back in the seventh division of the district league. In the meantime, they managed to return to the sixth-class regional league twice (1999 to 2001 and 2002 to 2004), but after three successive relegations, the footballers are now only in the regional league.
