NSG Colonel Schiel
The NSG Oberst Schiel ( Niederräder Schützengesellschaft "Oberst Schiel" 1902 eV ) is a shooting club from the Niederrad district of Frankfurt . The club achieved national fame through its women's soccer team, which existed from 1968 to 1979, played several times for the German championship and only narrowly failed in the final in 1977 . Today's clubhouse of the Niederräder Schützengesellschaft, which was built between 1977 and 1982, is located at Golfstrasse 17 at Carl-von-Weinberg-Park in Niederrad.
history
The shooting club was founded on November 30, 1902 in a restaurant on Niederräder Schwarzwaldstraße. It was named after Adolf Schiel (1858–1903), an officer from Frankfurt who, among other things, made a name for himself as the Colonel and Commander of the German Freikorps in South Africa and through his memoirs published after his return to Germany ( “23 years of storm and sunshine in South Africa ” ) had achieved a certain level of awareness.
After the dissolution of the associations by the Allied Control Council , it took until 1951 for a general meeting to take place again in the post-war period, and in 1956 the association was re-entered in the association register under its old name. The fact that the small club caused a stir nationwide is thanks to a number of women who watched a soccer game between the shooters against the company sports club "Franken 66" from the Gallusviertel opposite and decided to play a game the following year. On June 30, 1968, the women's teams of the Schützengesellschaft and the “Franconia” actually faced each other, it ended 0: 3, and a revenge for the next year was immediately agreed. These matches, which came about on a whim, were the initial spark for the emergence of one of the most successful teams in German women's football of the 1970s.
Women's soccer
The women's football in Germany gained after the ban in 1955 only in October 1970 by the German Football Association recognition until then there had been no official competitions. Championships of the regional associations did not take place until 1973, the following year the first German champion in women's football was determined. Because the women's team of the shooting club had developed into a powerful team through regular training under coach Ferdinand Stang and the influx of players from other sports, it hurried from success to success after the official game operations of the DFB. In the 1970s, the top division of women was organized at the national association level (a Bundesliga was only introduced in 1990), and the respective championship teams played the German championship in a final round. Leading in the Hessenliga from the start, the NSG reached the first final round in 1974 , where they failed at the later champions TuS Wörrstadt .
For the 1975/76 round , Bärbel Wohlleben, one of the best German soccer players, joined the club, and the Niederräder women qualified again for the German finals, but lost out against TSV Siegen . In the following year, the women of the NSG defended their title as Hessen champion, and reached the final of the German championship in 1977 by winning over TeBe Berlin , Rendsburger TSV and SV Schlierstadt . In front of 8,000 spectators in the Kreisstadtstadion, the Niederräder team achieved a 0-0 draw against the home team of SSG 09 Bergisch Gladbach in the first leg , but in the second leg in front of their own audience, the team of player -coach Anne Trabant-Haarbach lost 0-1. The 1977 runner-up was the culmination of the short history of the rifle club's women's soccer team. Although they reached the finals again in 1979 , the soccer team was disbanded that same year, mainly due to youth problems. The remaining active players switched to SKG Frankfurt .
