The BSV Kickers Emden is a sports club from the seaport city of Emden , whose 1st men's soccer team will play in the Lower Saxony Oberliga Weser-Ems / Lüneburg season in the 2020/2021 season . Colloquially, the Kickers Emden were nicknamed Die Deichkicker, Die Ostfriesen or Die Ottifanten , because Emden is the hometown of the Ottifanten inventor Otto Waalkes . In addition to football, table tennis is also offered.

history

The club was founded in March 1946 as the successor to several Emden sports clubs that were forcibly dissolved after the end of the war and today has around 900 members, mainly in the football division. From 1949 to 1964, the BSV Kickers played in the amateur upper league Lower Saxony -West, until 1963 the second highest division after the Oberliga Nord . The promotion to the league was just missed in 1951. The club also has a table tennis division, the oldest in Emden. The fans of the BSV kicker are organized in the fan club umbrella organization (FCDV), which has around 450 members.

In 1991 he was promoted to the then third-class Oberliga Nord. In 1994 Emder won the Northern Championship in this class, but failed in the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga . Officially 12,000, according to other information even 14,000 spectators at the promotion games mean the attendance record that is still valid today. The sponsorship by the Emden gas station company Score is associated with that time ; the owner Helmut Riedl was also president of the association. Riedl died in 1997, shortly before he had resigned from office. After a short interlude, today's President Engelbert Schmidt, a financial entrepreneur from Emden, took over the presidency. As a result, a supervisory board was also established as a control body, which was not least due to the experience with Riedl's sole presidency. Although the club experienced a noticeable sporting rise in the 1990s and produced, among other things, the later national player Jörg Heinrich , the Riedl era also ended with a mountain of debt of around 3.7 million euros, which had to be gradually reduced.

After the missed promotion in 1994, the Kickers played in the then newly founded Regionalliga Nord (Northwest Germany), in which they were never worse than ninth place in the table until relegation in 1999. That year the descent followed. In the Oberliga Nord (Lower Saxony-Bremen relay), Emder won the championship in their first season in 2000 and again in 2003, but failed in both cases in the relegation . In 2001 the Kickers were runner-up, level on points with the master Göttingen 05 . In the Oberliga Nord, newly founded in 2004/05, the club won the championship in its first season, surprisingly for experts. Thus, from the 2005/06 season, the club played again in the regional league, which - unlike in the 1990s - was now two-pronged.

In the DFB-Pokal the Kickers played 1992/93 (1st round: 1: 5 against 1. FC Saarbrücken ), 1996/97 (1st round: 1: 3 against Fortuna Düsseldorf ), 2000/01 (1st round : 0: 1 against 1. FSV Mainz 05 ), 2009/10 (1st round: 0: 3 against 1. FC Köln ) and 2011/12 (1st round: 1: 5 a.s. vs. FSV Frankfurt ), but were always eliminated in the first main round.

On May 30, 2007, three days before the last game of the season and the last minimal chance of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, the club announced that coach Marc Fascher would not fulfill his verbally agreed contract, which ran until June 30, 2008, for personal reasons . On June 10, 2007, Stefan Emmerling, who previously worked for the second team at Alemannia Aachen , became head coach.

On May 15, 2008 the Ballspielverein Kickers Emden e. V. with SV Blau-Gelb Barenburg-Emden e. V. (formerly “Postsportverein”) to “Barenburger Sportverein Kickers Emden e. V. ". At the end of the season, the team managed to qualify for the third division newly founded by the DFB . A year later - after a sixth place in the 3rd division - the withdrawal from professional football took place for economic reasons. In the 2009/10 season Kickers Emden therefore joined the Lower Saxony Oberliga and reached 5th place in the table. In the 2010/11 season , the Kickers finished fourth in the single-track Oberliga. Before the last game of the season, however, it became known that the Kickers had not been granted a license for the 2011/12 season for financial reasons. This would have meant that the Kickers would have been relegated to the sixth class national league. In the complaint procedure, the club was finally granted a license by the Lower Saxony Football Association . In the Lower Saxony Cup 2010/11, the club reached the final against third division club Eintracht Braunschweig , which was lost 2-1. Nevertheless, Emder qualified for the first main round of the 2011/12 DFB Cup , in which they met the second division club FSV Frankfurt and lost 5-1 after extra time.

On November 24, 2011, President Günter Schmaler and Supervisory Board Chairman Klaus Strahmann announced at the annual general meeting that they would file for bankruptcy on the following Friday . On February 1, 2012, was insolvency proceedings by the District Court Aurich opened. For the club, whose debts the insolvency administrator estimated at around three million euros, this meant relegation from the Lower Saxony league, as the season games played so far were taken out of the rating according to the statutes. On July 25, 2013, the Aurich District Court officially ended the insolvency proceedings.

After a runner-up in 2018 behind VfL Oythe , the Kickers came second again a year later, this time behind SV Bevern . However, since Bevern renounced promotion to the Lower Saxony Oberliga, the runner-up was enough for promotion. The Emder benefit from the better goal difference compared to the club Blau-Weiß Lohne . The upper league season 2019/2020 was canceled due to the corona pandemic, the BSV ended as eighth in the table and also starts in the season 2020/2021 in the upper league Lower Saxony season Weser-Ems / Lüneburg.

Stadion

Bronsplatz of the Emden gymnastics club; this is where the first games of the BSV Kickers Emden took place
Sports field of the Free Gymnastics Association 03 in Emden; it was used until the move to today's club premises

In the first few months after it was founded, the young club played on the grounds of the “mother club” Emder Turnverein in the Bentinkshof district in the heart of the city, and then for several years on the square of the Free Gymnastics Association from 1903 (FT 03) Emden in the Herrentor district .

The BSV Kickers plays today in the Ostfriesland Stadium in the Früchteburg district , which was initially simply called the Kickers Stadium (popularly known as Kickers Square ) since it opened in 1950 . Since the beginning of the 1990s, it has gradually been expanded from a stadium round with simple standing cross members to a stadium, initially with a main stand with standing and around 300 seats. In the mid-1990s, it was named in honor of long-time president and main sponsor Dr. Helmut Riedl in Dr. Renamed Helmut Riedl Stadium . At the beginning of the new decade, after some quarrels with the widow of the late president, it was renamed Embdena Stadium . It was called Embdena Partnership AG after the company of the main sponsor . Since the beginning of April 2011, the stadium has been called the Ostfriesland Stadium , temporarily it was called the Deichkicker Arena for a while.

According to the latest editions of the DFB, the capacity is 7,200 spectators. Until the promotion to the regional league at the beginning of the 2005/06 season, the capacity was around 12,000 spectators, but for safety reasons the DFB ordered a reduction to the current maximum capacity. The attendance record was achieved in the 1993/94 season (then Amateur Oberliga Nord / 3rd league), when officially 12,000 spectators were in the stadium for the last league game of the season against the HSV amateurs (which produced the championship). Since the promotion to the regional league in 2005, the infrastructure has been expanded. With the new construction of the guest area for a maximum of 2,000 spectators, an additional covered grandstand for home fans and in summer 2008 with an additional tubular steel grandstand behind the back straight, which offers 500 seats, but which has since been dismantled because the seats were rented.
