history

At the beginning of May 1902 the sociable association Teutonia was formed in Hemshof . After attending a soccer game by Revidia 1900 Ludwigshafen , the members decided to play soccer themselves and bought balls and goals. In May 1903, the Ludwigshafen soccer company was founded in Gess on Ruprechtsplatz in 1903 . The club name goes back to the suggestion of the player Heinrich Winkes. The club joined the Association of Palatinate Clubs for Movement Games. The first venue was a place on the Spitalwiesen. In 1905 all the clubs in this association decided to join the Association of South German Football Associations . In the 1908/09 season the club reached the A-Class Westkreis , one of Germany's first football leagues that were then numerous regionally split up. The season ended in fourth place, behind local rivals FC Pfalz Ludwigshafen , but ahead of SC Germania Ludwigshafen . From 1910 to 1913 the club played on a pitch near the gas works, and in 1913 the club moved to the pitch by the cycling track. Until the First World War , the club was able to hold the league with midfield placements. In 1917/18 Ludwigshafen reached the finals in the Westkreis, but could not prevail against Mannheimer FC Phönix and Alemannia Worms .

After the First World War, the club played in the first-class district league Pfalz and won Group 2 in 1921/22 . In the subsequent finals for the district championship Pfalz, however, the Ludwigshafen FG lost the decider 2: 3 against local rivals Phoenix Ludwigshafen , after both clubs each won their home game. In 1924 the club moved into its new venue on Bayreuther Strasse. In 1923/24 Ludwigshafen was only seventh out of eight participating teams in the now regional league Rhein , after which the game for 6th place against VfTuR Feudenheim was lost 2-0. As a result, the club rose from the first division. Already in the 1925/26 season , the rise was successful. The league could be held again until the 1928/29 season , before relegation was again established in the summer of 1929. In the next few years there was no recovery, so the club was not taken into account for the Gauliga Südwest, which was introduced in 1933, and from then on played in the lower leagues of the football region.

The idea of ​​founding a large Ludwigshafen club came from the Ludwigshafen FG on December 4, 1937. In previous years, there had already been considerations of merging the clubs in the north of the city into one large club. In three meetings it was decided unanimously to establish a large association in Ludwigshafen-Nord. The representatives of the clubs MTV 1882 Ludwigshafen and SC Germania Ludwigshafen were invited to a meeting on January 8, 1938, at which the merger was unanimously approved. After the names and colors were voted in further meetings , the founding event of the newly formed TuRa Ludwigshafen association took place on May 20, 1938 .
