history

With the outbreak of World War II , an intelligence unit of the Air Force was stationed in the Pewsum elementary school . This unit was supposed to eavesdrop on radio communications from the British forces . When the local club SV Pewsum wanted to withdraw its team from the current championship due to a lack of players, Captain Boje asked the SV Presidium whether his soldiers could not play for the Pewsumer. The club's management agreed and from then on footballers from all over Germany and some Austrians played for the East Frisians . Eventually the association was renamed LSV Pewsum when the soldiers joined.

This team was clearly superior to the competition from Aurich , Leer or Oldenburg and achieved high victories week after week. In 1943, the Pewsum East Frisian champions and rose to the Gauliga. Since Pewsum did not have an adequate sports field, the team had to play their games in the stadium of the former Free Gymnastics Association in Emden . Pewsum could only play one game in the Gauliga, which was won 3-0. The club was also successful in the cup. In 1943, the Pewsumers first prevailed against the war syndicate Emder TV / Kriegsmarine , TuS Aurich and LSV Ahlhorn , before the team failed at Wilhelmshaven 05 . A year later came the end after a 2: 6 defeat at Bremer SV . After the end of the war, the association was dissolved. TuS Pewsum was founded as the successor .
