history

The championship team for the 1941/42 season .

On August 22, 1910, the first football club was founded in Königshütte . It was the club for lawn games (VfR). Kurt Pallavicini was the head of the association . After about nine months, he managed to find and lease a sports field. It was located in the middle of the allotment gardens in the northern part of the city between Hummereistraße and Annenstraße. The first games had to be played on the open space at the Josefskirche . Soon the square was fenced in and was used for soccer competitions until 1921, i.e. until the lease expired. The club and changing room were in the "Krügel" near Scharlla, at the corner of Peterstrasse and Gartenstrasse. Immediately after its establishment, in the 1911/12 season, the VfR took part in the 1st class of the district of Katowice in District III (Upper Silesia) in the German football championship and was first in both the 1919/20 and 1921/22 seasons of the A-class of the Gaus Beuthen in the district of Upper Silesia.

Although the town of Königshütte was incorporated into the newly founded Polish state after the First World War , the referendum and division in Upper Silesia , the VfR remained a member of the Southeast German Football Association (SOFV) and took part in the German championship in 1922.

On July 13, 1922, the VfR became one of 43 German clubs in the Polish East Upper Silesia a member of the German Voivodeship Football Association, which was newly founded in East Upper Silesia on that day . Based on an agreement between this Voivodeship Football Association , the Polish East Upper Silesian District Association and the Polish Football Association , the VfR was renamed Amatorski Klub Sportowy (AKS) Krolewska Huta (Königshütte) in September 1923 , and took part in the Polish championship until 1939.

In the 1937 season Germania Königshütte was under the new name ( AKS Chorzów ) as a climber in the first division already second in the Polish football championship .

Building of the former hotel "Graf Reden"
(historical place of foundation of FV Germania Königshütte)

On November 13, 1939, a meeting of football fans took place in the White Hall of the Hotel Graf Reden , which surprisingly had an unexpectedly large number of visitors. The hall was almost overcrowded with almost all former members of the former VfR and AKS. The club was brought into being under the name "Germania Königshütte Football Association". The head of the association, Pruschidlo, was unanimously elected as the head of the association.

From 1939 to 1945 Germania Königshütte OS was champion of the Gauliga Silesia (1941) and three-time champion of the Gauliga Oberschlesien (1942-1944), thereby participating in both the German football championship and the Tschammer Cup . In the 1941/42 season, the team was only eliminated in the round of 16 of the German championship against the eventual finalist First Vienna FC 1894 after a narrow defeat in Vienna 0: 1.

After the Second World War

After the Second World War , Upper Silesia was placed under Polish administration and the club from 1946 again as AKS Chorzów participant in the Polish football championship, third place twice (1946 and 1947) and in 1948-1954 as Budowlani Chorzów in the 1st Polish football league represented (3rd place in 1951).

After the Second World War, the Polish authorities in the People's Republic of Poland systematically discriminated against the club for its German origins and its participation in the German championships, even denying its founding date, as a result of which sponsorship payments were withdrawn and it gradually lost its importance and over the years into the each lower division was relegated.

Currently he plays after several mergers as AKS Wyzwolenie Chorzów (Königshütte) in the 1st Silesian group of the 4th league.
