Cup tournaments
The record participant in Duisburg's national cup tournaments before the introduction of the Bundesliga was SV Hamborn 07, who qualified five times. Hamborn 07 already took part in the opening tournament of the Tschammer Cup, introduced in 1935 , where they were eliminated in the first round as well as in the following two tournaments: 1939 and 1942 , when two Hamborn clubs each took part in the cup competition. The other club was the SV Schwarz-Weiß Westende Hamborn , which emerged from the mining sports communities and took part in the Tschammperokal three times (also in 1941 ) and advanced to the round of 16 at the tournaments in 1939 and 1942. TuS 48/99 came to two participations, also during the war, in the 1940 and 1941 seasons . Duisburger FV 08 also took part in the Tschammerpokal in 1937 and made it to the round of 16, where they forced a replay against Borussia Dortmund with 1: 3 was lost.
The biggest scent brands in this era, however, set SV Hamborn 07. After he had prevailed in the preliminary round against 1. SC Göttingen 05 in his fourth cup participation in the 1952/53 season (the opening season of the DFB Cup) , he had to follow 1: 1 after extra time on home ground against FC St. Pauli for a forced return match in the stadium on Hamburg's Heiligengeistfeld .

Other sporting aspects
World championships
So far, five football players who are currently under contract with Duisburg clubs have participated in a football world championship for the German national team. When Germany first took part in the World Cup in 1934 , Willy Busch from TSV 1899 in Duisburg and Paul Zielinski from Union 02 Hamborn were part of the German World Cup squad . Zielinski played all four games of the German national team and Busch was used in all three games from the quarter-finals.
In the 1966 FIFA World Cup belonged Werner Kramer from Meidericher SV to German World Cup squad . Krämer was used in the 2-1 win against Spain in the final group B match .
Two other MSV players were part of the German World Cup line-up at the 1978 World Cup : Bernard Dietz was used in all five other matches with the exception of the first game against Poland , while Ronnie Worm hoped in vain for a game.
European Cup
The MSV was the only Duisburg club to take part in European Cup competitions and achieved its best result in the 1978/79 season when the “Zebras” reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup against their “neighbor” Borussia Mönchengladbach . There they were defeated by the eventual winner with 2: 2 and 1: 4.
Sociological Aspects
The Duisburger SpV was mainly based in the district of Wanheimerort in the south of Duisburg and was in its early days as an association of the upper middle class . Although he opened up to ordinary workers as early as the 1920s, his “upper class” image stuck to him for a long time and he was decried as a “ Jewish club ” during the Nazi era . The still existing Duisburg FV 08 is based in the neighboring district of Hochfeld and also the TuS 48/99, with which the DSV merged in July 1964, was anchored in the south of Duisburg and was also considered an upscale civil association.
In contrast, the clubs from Meiderich and Hamborn, located north of the Duisburg ports, were considered to be the classic representatives of the working class. At the time of their founding, they were not yet part of the Duisburg city area, as both places were still independent communities at the time, which were incorporated later (Meiderich 1905 and Hamborn only 1929).
