history
The club was founded in May 1904 as SC Unterweser and took on its current name on June 23, 1904. After the Second World War , the GSC flowed into SG Schifferdorferdamm , which in 1945 was initially renamed Schwarz-Weiß Bremerhaven and in January 1949 again took on its current name.
The first successes of the GSC were the Lower Weser Championships in 1909 and 1910. In the qualification for the North German Championship, however, they were defeated by the Bremer SC and Werder Bremen . In 1919 and 1920 they finally qualified for the North German Championship, where the GSC failed in the first round in 1919 to Borussia Harburg and in 1920 in the quarter-finals to Arminia Hannover . In 1928 the team was relegated from the first-class western district league and disappeared five years later after the introduction of the Gauliga in the third division. In 1943 the GSC was included in the newly created Gauliga Osthannover.
After the Second World War, the Geestemünder reached the highest Bremen amateur league from 1949 to 1954 and after 16 years of association league slipped into the district league after a 2-0 defeat against TSV Wulsdorf . The GSC then became an elevator crew . 1982 succeeded under player- coach Rolf Kaemmer with 60: 0 points the promotion to the Landesliga Bremen , where the march into the association league succeeded straight away. Five years of mediocrity followed before two relegations in a row brought the club back to the district league. Between 1994 and 1997 the GSC reached the national league again. In 2015 it went down to the district league.
The GSC footballers reached the DFB Cup in the 2007/08 season . There the team lost 0:11 to 1. FC Union Berlin in the first round . In league games, the GSC women play in the Bremen Association League .
