history

VfL Merseburg

This club was founded in 1912 under the nickname VfB . For the 1916/17 season , the team rose under this name for the first time in the Gauliga Saale within the Central German Football Championship of the VMBV . There the team could not hold up and rose with 8:20 points over the 7th and penultimate place in the table immediately after the season. At least from the 1919/20 season, the club played first-class again, this time under the new name VfL .

From then on, the team belonged continuously to the league after the National Socialists came to power . For the 1933/34 season , the club was then incorporated into the second-class district class Halle-Merseburg. With 13:31 points, however, the team rose from there to the 11th and penultimate place in the 1st district class. As the winner of the Saale district class, the team then qualified for the promotion round to the district class after the 1935/36 season and was the first to complete it, which meant that the team was allowed to rise again.

KSG Merseburg

From the 1941/42 season onwards, VfL Merseburg played together with Reichsbahn SG Merseburg as a war syndicate on the VfL starting site. After the championship title in the 1942/43 season , the team rose as champions for the new season in the Gauliga middle . In the first season, the team was able to hold the league and placed fourth with 21:15. For the 1944/45 season , the team was then incorporated into the Jahn district. However, as the Second World War progressed , the season was not played to the end. There are no records of games played or the team's placements. After the end of the war, the KSG and the clubs involved were dissolved.
