The MSV von der Goltz Tilsit was a German military sports club from the East Prussian city of the same name , today's Sowetsk in the Russian Oblast of Kaliningrad .
history
The club was founded in the 1920s as Police SV Tilsit ; the exact year it was founded is not known.
For the 1935/36 season , he was promoted to the Gauliga East Prussia , one of the 16 highest divisions in Germany at the time. At the end of the season, the team took second place in the Gumbinnen district and thus qualified for the final round of the East Prussian Championship in 1936. In this, the team in Group B only finished fourth and last. From this point on, the police SV Tilsit advanced to the leading club in Tilsit and was able to leave their local rivals Tilsiter SC and VfB Tilsit behind them in the two subsequent seasons together.
In 1936 Goltz Tilsit split off from the police sports club to form the MSV military sports club . The name is derived from the former Prussian Foreign Minister August Friedrich Ferdinand von der Goltz , who signed the Tilsit Peace Treaty in 1807 . The Police SV Tilsit continued to exist in parallel. The MSV from Goltz Tilsit managed to qualify for the Tschammerpokal in 1936 , when the club was eliminated in the first round after a 2-0 home defeat against SV Hindenburg Allenstein . In the 1936/37 season , a third place in the Gumbinnen district narrowly missed the final round. In 1937/38 the club was again second in Gumbinnen, but again he had no chance in the final round and was last in Group B with one win and five defeats. In the Gauliga 1938/39 , which was held for the first time , the MSV reached seventh place out of ten participating teams . With the beginning of the Second World War in 1939, the military sports club could no longer participate in the Gauliga game operations and withdrew from it. The last time the MSV from Goltz Tilsit appeared nationally in 1941, when the club qualified for the Tschammer Cup in 1941 . For unknown reasons, presumably due to the war, Tilsit decided not to host the first round game against VfB Königsberg , so that they went one round without a fight.
After the Second World War, Tilsit, which was part of the German Empire, was annexed by the Soviet Union . The MSV from Goltz Tilsit was - like all other German associations and institutions - forcibly dissolved.
