history
From the foundation to the German battering championship
The Harburger TB 1865 was founded on September 6, 1865 through the merger of the Harburg Gymnastics Association 1858 and the Men's Gymnastics Club 1861 Harburg . One of the first measures was the construction of a gym in the founding year, which was built without a floor, ceiling cladding and heating. This was taken over by the city of Harburg in 1879 and suitably expanded for school sports. In 1883 the men's gymnastics club split off in 1883 in Harburg . In 1896 a new gymnasium was built by the city and in 1907 the club finally acquired what is now the club's premises on Jahnhöhe .
In 1910, fencing and football departments were set up at the HTB. In 1913, the HTB battering team won the German battering championship at the German Gymnastics Festival in Leipzig . The Harburgers would have represented Germany at the Olympic Games in 1916 , which did not take place because of the First World War .
Pure divorce and founding of SV Harburg
In 1921 the handball department was founded. In 1924, members of MTV finally founded the Harburg sports club in 1883 . In doing so, they implement the " clean separation " between the German gymnastics association and the other sports associations. From then on, football, handball and fistball were played at SVH as part of the competitions of the respective sports associations. Members of the Harburger TB implemented the clean divorce with the establishment of the soccer club FC Schwarz-Weiß 1924 Harburg . However, there were still z. B. a football department at the HTB, which only took part in the competitions of the German gymnastics association, but won the German gymnastics championship in 1928 . Meanwhile, the footballers of SV Harburg in 1929 and 1931 each qualified for the finals for the North German championship. In 1931 Rudolf "Rudi" Noack was part of the team , who immediately moved to Hamburger SV and later played for the national team.
After the beginning of the National Socialist rule in Germany, the separation between gymnasts and athletes in different umbrella organizations was lifted. The SV Harburg returned in 1934 back to the original club, which had been extended by a Tennis Department since 1927th However, the footballers could not build on the success of the SVH. In the club, which remained committed to the ideals of the gymnastics movement, they only played a minor role and were relegated to the lowest division by 1939.
Footballer in the Oberliga Nord
With the new beginning after the Second World War , gymnasts and athletes began to cooperate in the HTB and the most successful phase in the club's history began for the footballers. When at the end of the association league season 1948/49 it was time to take part in the promotion round for the first-class Oberliga Nord , Walter Risse, an experienced coach, was hired. In the end, HTB prevailed 4-1 in the play - off against Itzehoer SV with the same number of points in front of 20,000 spectators in the Millerntor Stadium . Thanks to the support of a sponsor, the infrastructure could then be improved and a changing building was built. Nevertheless, the own place in the Jahnhöhe was not oberliga fit and HTB had the stadium Winsener street from Viktoria Harburg dodge. The first league season ended the HTB as a hopeless table bottom with only three wins and 25 defeats; he preferred to play several "home" games on the opponents' pitches and coach Risse went to FC St. Pauli during the season , where he was soon followed by Otmar Sommerfeld , a new star who rose this season and became a record player the Oberliga Nord should be. The previous team then disintegrated, but coach Morgenstern quickly managed to build a new, high-performance team in the association league. 1952 succeeded again the promotion to the league. This again meant moving to Winsener Straße, while the Jahnhöhe was being expanded and made suitable for the upper league at the same time. The seasons 1952/53 and 1953/54 ended the Harburg 14th each. They also encountered increased audience interest. While the average for the first appearance in the league in 1949/50 was 4,433, 52/53 5,966 and 53/54 even 6,266 viewers. The greatest success for the team around Edmund Adamkiewicz , Erich Rohrschneider and goalkeeper Heinz Mahnke was a 1-0 win against Hamburger SV on February 7, 1954. For the 1954/55 season , the team was finally able to play in the new stadium at Jahnhöhe . But there were only three wins in front of an average of 5,466 spectators and in the end the HTB was relegated from bottom of the table.
No return to excellence
While the football department was soaring, other sports came to the club. In 1952 a judo department was founded, in 1954 swimming was added and in 1955 the hockey department was created. The further expansion measures of the Jahnhöhe then also applied to other sports. In the 1950s, more tennis courts and a jumping facility for athletes were built. Nevertheless, the footballers also faced a return to the league several times. Mainly thanks to a successful youth work in 1956, 1959, 1960 and 1961 the participation in the promotion to the league succeeded. They qualified three times as runner-up and in 1961 even as champions of the Hamburg regional league. But you missed the qualification for the league and then also the connection to the top places in the table. In 1962 they were only 11th and in 1963 only fifth. In any case, the focus at this time was on repairing the damage caused by the storm surge in 1962 , which had devastated large parts of Harburg. Their own sports facilities were not affected, but the Turnerbund helped the athletes from Viktoria Harburg and Wilhelmsburg 09 .
Failed merger
With the introduction of the Bundesliga , the Harburg footballers slipped into the third division. Also the promotion to the now second-class Regionalliga Nord did not succeed. Instead, in 1968, they were relegated to the fourth-class association league Hansa. In 1970 the board of directors of the HTB negotiated together with the gymnastics club Harburg , the TuS Harburg and the Hamburg industrial company Phoenix AG about the formation of a large club under the name SC Phoenix from 1865 . But members refused the necessary majority for a renaming despite a fundamental willingness to merge. Phoenix AG then canceled the merger, with the result that the project of a large association with direct links to a large company such as B. failed at Bayer 04 Leverkusen .
The footballers experienced in the Verbandsliga Hansa and Hammonia - the squadrons are constantly reassigned by the Hamburg Football Association - through the establishment of the 2nd Bundesliga , a league reform again and, from 1974, were only fifth class. In the same year, the athletics department merged with the athletes from the Harburg gymnastics club and the TV Meckelfeld to form LG Harburg .
Footballer between fourth and fifth class
In 1977 the footballers managed to rise again for the first time since 1952. The jump into the Association League Hamburg, however, only meant a return to the fourth division. There you could only stay until 1980 and only returned to the Association League for a short interlude in 1983/84. In the meantime, the main association had further expanded popular sports by founding a leisure sports department in 1976 . The main concern of the association in these years was mainly the maintenance of the cost-intensive sports facilities at the Jahnhöhe and the application for funds for the employment of full-time sports teachers as part of job creation measures . In addition, the HTB dedicated itself to supporting the problem child campaign by holding various festivals .
From the late 1980s onwards, a support group of local companies was formed for the footballers, the aim of which was to return to "first-class football". After all, in 1992, after eight years of fifth division in the national league, he returned to the association league. Two years later, the club even returned to the league in 1994. But this was now only fourth class after the regional league was founded as a new third division in the same year . The new Regionalliga Nord , however, was congruent with the previous Oberliga Nord, as the North German Football Association was the only regional association that did not have several top leagues. For this purpose, the Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein Oberliga and the Lower Saxony / Bremen Oberliga were formed as a new substructure for the Regionalliga Nord . A sixth place in the association league was sufficient for qualification for the newly formed Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein Oberliga.
In the new league, the Harburgers were relatively successful, even if the seventh place in the table at the end of the first season 1994/95 was the best placement. But the audience interest was very low with an average between 269 (1995/96) and 176 viewers (1999/2000). The entire club was still primarily concerned with maintaining the economic performance of the club and the large sports facilities. The successes of the footballers were noted as a marginal phenomenon. Chaos broke out in this department in 1999 when the coach, assistant coach and the most successful striker fell out with the department board and transferred to 1. SC Norderstedt . The new patron and manager Rainer Wasielke wanted to aim for promotion to the regional league and expand the Jahnhöhe stadium. However, he did not receive any support from the board of directors, who considered his concept too costly, and resigned as manager in November 2000. Shortly thereafter, on December 11, 2000, the HTB withdrew its team from the league with immediate effect.
While many other clubs demanded that the HTB be classified in a lower division, the Hamburg Football Association allowed the start in the association league. Wasielke returned as a coach and brought numerous players to Jahnhöhe, including five Brazilians. In 2003 the HTB won the league championship with ease. But instead of returning to the upper league, for which the HTB had athletically qualified, they withdrew and started the 2003/04 season in the district league 1. With the withdrawal from the association league in 2003, the club increasingly focused on its own youth, the at this point in time, however, it was not occupied in the older segments.
In the 2006/07 season they were relegated from the district league 1 and now played in the ninth-class district class 3. The runner-up championship achieved there in 2008/09 with mainly their own offspring entitled them to return to the district league. There they took second place straight away in the 2009/10 season and thus rose for the second time in a row, this time in the District League South. In 2017 he was promoted to the regional league. In 2008, the club's own facility was fundamentally modernized through the sale of building land with 2 artificial turf fields and a new clubhouse, and the site was renamed 'Sportpark Jahnhöhe'.
The 2nd team also achieved promotion to the District League 1 for the 2011/12 season, which was difficult to keep.
