history

Founded until World War II (1903 to 1945)

The club was founded on June 7, 1903 as FV Teutonia Homberg , which was renamed Homberger Spielverein in the same year . On February 3, 1910, this merged with the Moerser Spielverein to form GSV Moers , but a year later the Homberger Spielverein 03 split off again. In 1919, SC Preußen Homberg, founded in 1908, and parts of SC Union Homberg joined the game club. The club was simply called "HSV" by its supporters.

Club coat of arms of the Homberger SV in the 1930s

In the 1920/21 season, the game club appeared for the first time in the top division, but only established in the Lower Rhine Upper House from 1926 . Three years after the promotion, the team was runner-up in Group B behind Meidericher SV . In 1930 the Hombergers were four points ahead of Preussen Krefeld Niederrheinmeister and qualified for the West German championship . In the preliminary round, HSV and FC Schalke 04 prevailed against VfB 03 Bielefeld and SuS Hüsten 09 . In the final round, the Homberger remained without a point and came last.

Two years later, the team missed the newly introduced Gauliga Niederrhein, but managed to get promoted there in 1934 together with Rot-Weiß Oberhausen . In the Gauliga season 1934/35 the HSV was able to win both games against Fortuna Düsseldorf , but had to relegate at the end of the season as the penultimate again. Until the end of the war, the Hombergers remained lower class. The only sporting highlight in the Third Reich was qualifying for the Tschammer Cup in 1937 , the forerunner of today's DFB Cup . In the first round, the Homberger were eliminated after a 0-1 defeat against Holstein Kiel .

Post-war period (1945 to 1969)

After the end of the war, HSV was one of the founding members of the Lower Rhine State League in 1947 , which was the highest amateur league at the time. After relegation in 1949, he was immediately promoted again and the most successful phase in the club's history began. In 1953 the Hombergers prevailed in the Niederrhein championship against 1. FC Mülheim and Union Ohligs and qualified for the German amateur championship . There the team first prevailed in the preliminary round without losing points against Eintracht Nordhorn , Borussia Fulda and Heider SV and, after a 4-2 semi-final win against VfB 03 Bielefeld, moved into the final, which in Wuppertal 2: 3 against SV Bergisch Gladbach 09 was lost.

Two years later, the Hombergers from Lower Rhine were runner-up behind Marathon Remscheid . Since both Mittelrheinmeister Bergisch Gladbach and Vice Stolberger SV waived a possible promotion to the II. Division , the association started a playoff against the Westphalian runner-up VfB 03 Bielefeld. Here the Bielefeld team prevailed with 2: 1. In 1956 HSV qualified for the newly created Association League Niederrhein and six years later provided a German amateur national player with Hans-Jürgen Jansen . In 1963, the game club won its second Lower Rhine championship and then became the West German runner-up among amateurs behind Lüner SV . A year later, under coach Willi Koll, the new Lower Rhine Championship succeeded and in the following round of promotion, together with Eintracht Gelsenkirchen, they were promoted to the second-class Regionalliga West . In addition, the club took part in the German amateur championship , but failed in the semi-finals with 1: 3 to the amateurs of Hanover 96 .

However, the jump into the regional league was too big and after a year the Homberger were relegated from bottom of the table . After relegation, the HSV was passed through to the state league in the 1965/66 season and there was also no more athletic mediocrity. In addition, the club had to give up the Rheindeichstadion . The administration of the then still independent city of Homberg advocated a merger of the HSV with the SpVgg Hochheide . Only after the stadium on Schillerstrasse was expanded did the Homberg members agree to the merger. In July 1969 the clubs merged to form VfB Homberg .
