The Königsberger Sport- und Turnverein e. V. was a sports club from the East Prussian capital Königsberg that emerged in 1922 from MTV Ponarth . For five seasons, the soccer department belonged to the Gauliga East Prussia , one of 16 top soccer leagues that were founded in Germany after the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 and existed until 1945.
history
In 1922, the games and sports department spun off from MTV Ponarth and became self-employed as Königsberger STV . The club took over the starting place of MTV Ponarth in the first-class district league Königsberg within the Baltic Lawn and Winter Sports Association (BRWV). Königsberg twice reached third place in the Königsberg district league, but the club could not qualify for the top East Prussian league, which was newly introduced for the 1926/27 season , and henceforth played second class.
In the 1930/31 season , the company was promoted again to the first-class league , now called the Königsberg department league, in which the Königsberger STV remained until the BRWVs were dissolved. After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, all football associations were dissolved and replaced by football districts. The four best clubs from the Königsberg departmental league received a starting place in the first-class Gauliga East Prussia . The Königsberger STV was only fifth in the last season, so that after 1933 he played in the second-rate district class I Königsberg . In 1935 the soccer department rose from the district class to the Gauliga East Prussia, which was divided into four regional districts, and held the class; also in the following season . At the end of the 1937/38 season , the football department had to relegate to the second-rate district league, as from the 1938/39 season they wanted to determine the champion in a single-track division consisting of ten teams and refrain from the regional districts.
By reaching the semi-finals in the East Prussia group, the team qualified in 1941 for the first final round of the German Club Cup, which was held for the first time in 1935; popularly just called Tschammerpokal . After the 8: 3 victory over SV Prussia-Samland Königsberg , the team was eliminated from the competition in the second final round with 0: 7 against local rivals VfB Königsberg .
For the 1942/43 season , he was promoted to the single-track Gauliga, which was completed with fourth place. The 1943/44 season finished the team in last place; it was immediately the last season, since in August 1944, with the start of the Allied air raids, sport and club life in Königsberg came to a standstill.
With the occupation of Königsberg by the Red Army in April 1945 and the flight and expulsion of the remaining German population that began before and afterwards, the association ceased to exist.
