history

The Kiel Association for physical exercises was founded in August or September 1945 as a gymnastics association for the Kiel area to revive the sporting scene - afterwards the association asked the gymnastics clubs in this area to join the KVL. On September 19, 1945, the KVL issued guidelines and regulations for the resumption of sports activities to the Kiel gymnastics and sports clubs. In the period that followed, the KVL gradually became a sports association for other sports in Kiel and the surrounding area, such as football, handball (1946) and cycling. In football, the association was responsible for the clubs in two of the four Schleswig-Holstein district championship leagues (East A and East B - the highest divisions at that time in the British zone) and for running the game in these leagues. The spatial area in football extended to the cities of Kiel and Neumünster as well as to the districts of Eckernförde, Rendsburg and Plön at that time - there may have been deviations from this area in individual other sports.

In July 1946, the Kiel Association for Physical Exercise was dissolved by the British military government . This decision was preceded by the nomination of Holstein Kiel as runner-up in the East A district in football instead of the master Eckernförder SV to participate in the North German Championship and the staging of a play-off not approved by the military government in response to the protest of Eckernförder (the Holstein with two reinforcements Southwest Germany won 4-2). Even after a separate qualifying round, which had been scheduled in the meantime, the Eckernförder would have been qualified as well as the winner from the repeat game between Holstein and Kilia Kiel.

Affected by the military government's catalog of measures (which also included the temporary blocking of Kiel as a venue, the refusal to participate in the North German Championship and the blocking of Holstein's board of directors for life) was also FC Kilia Kiel as champions of the East B district championship: also Kilia did not get a start permit for the North German Championship.
