The football club Speyer 1919 was a football club from Speyer in the Palatinate , which was represented in the top divisions for some seasons in the 1940s and 1950s.
family tree
The FVS was founded in 1919 as the football department of the Turnverein 1847 Speyer . In the same year the footballers became independent under their current name. In 1938, in accordance with National Socialist sports policy, both clubs had to merge to form VfL 1847 Speyer , which from 1944 formed a war syndicate with MSV Pioniere Speyer . After the dissolution in 1945, the FV was re-established in January 1946.
Sporting development
In their early years, the people of Speyer did not play a major role. It was not until 1943 that the leap into the top division, the ten-team Gauliga Westmark , was made, where VfL and KSG Speyer reached ninth place.
After a third and two second places in the amateur league and 2nd league southwest, the FVS rose for the first time in 1952 in the Oberliga Südwest , of which he belonged until 1955 and from 1956 to 1960. The best placement was 10th place in the first year. After relegation, the Speyer, who were previously third and fourth, were last in the second division in the decisive 1962/63 season, so they clearly missed qualifying for the Regionalliga Südwest . In the now third-rate Southwest Amateur League, the FVS was directly last again in 1964.
In 1967, the Speyer again rose to the amateur league southwest and a year later in the regional league, in which they remained until the dissolution of this division after the 1973/74 season and in 1970 reached a single-digit position for the only time: fifth. After the regional league was discontinued in 1974, the Speyer was classified in the amateur league southwest, in which they kept up well for two years, but failed miserably in 1977: With 1:71 points and 20: 183 goals they were beaten last, and not for the last time .
The regional league championship in 1983 brought the Speyer to the association league, to which they belonged until 2004, apart from a four-year break from 1991. In the Landesliga Südwest-Ost, the non-competitive FVS has been bottom of the table every year with over 100 goals conceded. Due to the withdrawal of other clubs, the Speyer family did not relegate in 2005 or 2006. From the 2007/08 season, the FV Speyer now played a class lower in the now eight-class district league Vorderpfalz.
For the 2008/09 season, the FV merged with the VfR Speyer. This created FC Speyer 09 . This rose as champion of the district league Vorderpfalz in 2011 in the seventh-class state league.
Stadion
From 1926 the Speyer family played in the stadium at Roßsprung , which once held 14,000 spectators. A curiosity: In order to avoid a single-family house, the standing bars behind a gate could not be erected in the usual straight line.
After relegation in 1991, the stadium had to be sold. It was demolished in favor of residential buildings. Today FC Speyer is playing 500 meters further in the Hinterm Esel sports park . There are three different soccer fields: two artificial turf fields, one large and one small field, and one grass field.
