Jugend Düren (officially: Association for Youth and Folk Games Düren eV ) was a sports club from Düren . The first soccer team once took part in the final round of the West German soccer championship.
history
The club was founded on May 4, 1896 and, according to its own statements, is the oldest club in the area of what is now the Mittelrhein Football Association . In 1910 the people of Düren rose to the A-class Rhine district south and immediately became champions. This qualified the team for the West German soccer championship 1910/11 , where the Dürener failed in the semifinals at VfvB Ruhrort . A year later, the team missed the renewed participation in the finals after a decider defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach .
During the First World War , Jugend Düren won the Aachen district championship three times . In the 1915/16 season they formed the war gaming community Mars Düren with Germania Düren . After the end of the war, the Düren family had bad luck in 1920. Although they won the district championship with a 2-1 win over VfTuR Mönchengladbach , the Mönchengladbachers were registered for the West German championship for unknown reasons. Four years later, Jugend Düren lost the final of the district championship against Cologne's BC 01 with 1: 3, before the team slipped more and more into midfield.
In 1929 the team missed the qualification for the single-track district league Rhine and three years later even slipped into the district class. In the following years, the team remained inferior. At the beginning of 1947, Jugend Düren, who had played their home games in the youth stadium since 1921 , merged with Rölsdorfer SV, founded in 1905, to form Schwarz-Weiß Düren . This merged in 2001 with SG Düren 99 to SG Schwarz-Weiß Düren 99 , before Schwarz-Weiß Düren re-established itself after internal quarrels.
