The Munich-Gern Free Gymnastics Association , or FT Gern for short , was created in 1906 from the merger of three workers' gymnastics clubs . Your football department reached the finals for the championship of the ATSB three times in the early 1930s . After its forced dissolution by the National Socialists in 1933, the gymnastics association was re-established after the end of the war and has since played in lower-class leagues.
history
In 1893 the Munich Workers 'Gymnastics Club was founded, which has been part of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association since 1894 . From this and two other workers' gymnastics clubs (Schwabing and Neuhausen-Gern), the Free Gymnastics Association in Munich emerged in 1906. The gymnastics community developed rapidly and in 1906 its three departments (Sendling, Schwabing and Neuhausen-Gern) had a total of 354 members. On June 24, 1907, 24 soccer-enthusiastic gymnasts from Division 3 Neuhausen-Gern founded a soccer department under the direction of Hans Penninger and Sebastian Buchner in the Gerner brewery on Klugstrasse, which played within the gymnastics club as FA Gern. Already in the early years the football club celebrated its first successes and won five city championships and 16 cup wins in the "Free Association" of the then workers' sports association by 1914. During the First World War , the game was inevitably stopped because many athletes had to enter for military service. 13 sports comrades never returned.
The sports field on Klugstraße was converted into a home garden in 1920 and from then on the people of Gern played in Dantestraße, where the Dante stadium was built in 1924 . Therefore, from 1924 on , games were relocated to “Borussiaplatz” southwest of Oberwiesenfeld , near Leonrodplatz . In 1925 FA Gern became independent within FT Gern, and the gymnastics division from Neuhausen-Gern separated from the main club and founded VfL Munich. In 1927 the Munich-Gern Free Gymnastics Association already had over 4,000 members, making it the largest sports club in southern Germany. In 1928, VfL Munich acquired a seven day work property in Dachau - Etzenhausen , which after the turmoil of World War II was transferred to today's FT Gern as the legal successor to VfL Munich and is still available to members today. The FA Gern won several city and district championships from 1925 and the Bavarian championship within the free association in 1927. In 1930, the "Gerner" advanced to the final of the southern German championship, which was lost in Frankfurt against the Hessen champions ASV Frankfurt-Westend with a weakened team with 3: 5. Also in 1931, 1932 and 1933 the club became district champions in southern Bavaria and reached the finals for the southern German ATSB championship. The three inside strikers migrated to the middle-class camp ( DFB ). Ludwig Lachner went to TSV 1860 Munich and was later eight times in the national team of the DFB . Josef Aschenbrenner moved to FSV Frankfurt, the leading Frankfurt club at the time, and Hans Brandmaier left the Gerner for DSV Munich , who played in the top division (Gauliga) for a few years. At this time (1928-1931) FA Gern played their home games in the newly built Dante Stadium, which was only available until 1931. In 1934, the "Eschbaumer Wiese" on Dom-Pedro- / Merianstraße was leased and could be used as a sports area until 1947, before the transport planning of the state capital of Munich made a relocation necessary.
In 1933 the gymnastics club with its now twelve departments and the entire “Free Association” was dissolved and expropriated by the NSDAP . After a period of anxious uncertainty, most of the members of FA Gern finally got together again in the newly founded football club SC Gern. In addition, two field handball teams and some members of the former VfL Munich joined. The SC Gern found connection to the South German Football Association and made people sit up and take notice with very good results. Among other things, even the Gauliga-Elf of FC Wacker was defeated 2-1. Despite their strength, the team was then divided into the district class. She won the group championship in the first year and after the subsequent qualifying games (including against Wacker Burghausen ) the promotion to the district class, which at that time was the second highest division under the Gauliga, was achieved. The SC Gern remained in this division until the end of the game operations during the Second World War. 39 dead and missing were mourned at the end of the war. After the end of the Second World War, the Free Gymnastics Association Munich-Gern was re-established and the SC Gern joined this.
The Gerner played in the A-Class from 1947 to 1954, finishing second four times and third twice. 1954 achieved the greatest success of the post-war period when the 1953/54 season could be concluded with only four minus points as group champions. After the promotion round, in which ASV Dachau , TSV Trostberg, TSV Trudering, TSV Wolnzach and SV Seeshaupt were, promotion to the 2nd amateur league (fourth highest division) was achieved. Two years after the promotion, the class could no longer be held and since then the FT Gern has played between the district league and B-class. In 2007 the FT Gern celebrated its 100th birthday. The highlight of the celebrations was a friendly match against FC Bayern Munich , which attracted 10,000 spectators to the Dante Stadium in Munich.
The best-known offspring of the club is the former soccer player Philipp Lahm , who played for FT Gern until the age of eleven, then moved to FC Bayern Munich , where he won numerous national and international titles and was world champion as a national player . His mother Daniela works at FT Gern as a youth leader, his sister Melanie in marketing.
