The SC Germania Ludwigshafen was a German sports club from Ludwigshafen . It was founded on June 24, 1904 and existed until 1938, when the club merged with MTV 1882 Ludwigshafen and Ludwigshafen FG 03 to form TuRa Ludwigshafen .

history

The club emerged from the football club Alemannia Ludwigshafen . After players from the Palatia Ludwigshafen , Union Ludwigshafen and Viktoria Ludwigshafen clubs joined Germania Ludwigshafen in 1906 , the club's playing strength increased, so that in the 1908/09 season it was promoted to the A-Class Westkreis , one of the numerous first soccer leagues at the time Germany succeeded. After only the last place was reached in the next two seasons, but there were no relegations in these seasons, the club then had to relegate after the 1911/12 season . After the First World Warsucceeded the club again to rise in the now called Kreisliga Pfalz league, after the league was reduced from two seasons to one after the 1921/22 season , Germania had to relegate again.

A recovery was no longer successful, so that the club was not taken into account for the uppermost Gauliga Südwest, which was introduced in 1933 , and from then on continued to play lower class. In 1934/35 Germannia Ludwigshafen won the district class and thus qualified for the promotion round to the Gauliga 1935/36 , in which Ludwigshafen was the last of six participants and thus missed the promotion. Germania again won the district class in the coming season. This time the club only narrowly failed in the promotion round to Gauliga Südwest 1936/37 , only SV Wiesbaden and Sportfreunde 05 Saarbrücken were better placed and were promoted. At the instigation of Ludwigshafen FG 03 , there were considerations to form a large Ludwigshafen club in the north of the city, consisting of Germania , Ludwigshafen FG and MTV 1882 Ludwigshafen . At a meeting on January 8, 1938, the merger was approved by all three associations. The founding event of the newly formed association called TuRa Ludwigshafen was held on May 20, 1938 .
