Fortuna Kottenheim is a sports club from Kottenheim in the district of Mayen-Koblenz , in which tennis , table tennis and gymnastics are played in addition to football . The first soccer team played for a year in the first-class Gauliga Mittelrhein .

history

The club was founded on July 1, 1913 as FC Fortuna Kottenheim in the Gasthaus zur Traube and in 1938 had to merge with TV Kottenheim, founded in 1897, to form TuS Fortuna Kottenheim . In 1930 the footballers were promoted to the Mittelrhein regional league, the top division at the time. After the team only held the class due to a league increase in the promotion season, the Fortuna surprisingly became Mittelrheinmeister in 1933. In the West German championship , the Kottenheimers failed in the quarterfinals to Borussia Fulda , who won 5-1. Larger clubs became aware of the players in the village club, so Hein Herschbach moved to Bayer Leverkusen and the brothers Ernst and Alfons Moog to VfL Cologne .

In 1933/34 Fortuna was included in the newly created Gauliga Mittelrhein, the top division in the DFB at the time , from which the team promptly relegated as the penultimate. A year later, the Kottenheimers reached the promotion round as district class champions, where Fortuna against TuRa Bonn and SV Obersten remained without a point win. After the Second World War , the team won the Rhineland Cup in 1955 . The Kottenheimers could only prevail against TuS Montabaur in the second replay .

Between 1956 and 1958, the team played for two years in the then third-class amateur league Rhineland before Fortuna disappeared in the lower divisions. From 2006 to 2012, the club and TuS Thür formed the SG Kottenheim / Thür game community , which played in the Ahr-Sinzig district league. The syndicate was ended for the 2012/13 season due to the dissolution of TuS Thür . After a year in the district league (2018/19), the club is now back in the district league A.

Fortuna Kottenheim produced Alfons Moog, a German national player, who made seven appearances in the national team under Sepp Herberger . The table tennis department was founded in 1948 and tennis has been played since 1974. The gymnast Nicole Endres took part in six German championships in the 1970s.
