history
Foundation and early years (1923 to 1962)
In 1913 the free gymnastics club Groß Buchholz was founded, which belonged to the workers' sports movement . The soccer department of the Freie Turnerschaft became independent as the Spielvereinigung Ost in 1923 , after the soccer department experienced a rapid increase in membership after the end of the First World War . When the National Socialists came to power , both the game association and the Free Gymnastics Association were banned. In order to be able to continue using the sports facilities, the members of the forbidden clubs founded the Oststädter Sportverein in 1933 . This club went on in 1940 in the United Turnerschaft Bothfeld . That club was created in 1919 through the merger of MTV Bothfeld, founded in 1904, with an unknown club.
After the end of the Second World War , the United Gymnastics Association was dissolved. On January 20, 1946, the successor to TuS 04 Bothfeld was created . In 1952, the football department became independent under its current name. The reason for the split was a dispute with the handball department over the purchase of game balls. Although the footballers went their own way from now on, there is still a friendly relationship with the parent club, with which they share the club's home and grounds.
Sporting boom (1962 to 1971)
After the OSV only played in the lower district classes, the sporting boom began in 1962. He is closely connected with the then 29-year-old entrepreneur Wolfgang Zabel, who earned his money in the electrical industry. Zabel signed numerous players from higher leagues and Gerd Bohnsack as a player-coach . After three ascents in a row, the OSV reached the Verbandsliga Süd in 1966 . Two years later, the Bothfeld champions of this class and prevailed in the promotion round to the Lower Saxony state league . On the penultimate game day, the Oststadters made the leap in class with a 2-2 win against Teutonia Uelzen .
The 1970/71 season ended the OSV as third in the table and thus qualified for the promotion round to the Regionalliga Nord . The 2-0 opening win against Langenhorn TSV was the only win of the round. A year later, the Oststädter secured the Lower Saxony championship four points ahead of Union Salzgitter . On the third to last game day of the Regionalliga promotion round, OSV was able to make the leap into the second highest division with a 3-1 win against Eintracht Nordhorn .
Path to the 2nd Bundesliga (1971 to 1979)
In the promotion season 1971/72 the OSV reached the 13th place in the table and was able to leave local rivals Arminia Hannover behind. In the next season the OSV started well, but was thrown off the rails by a 6-0 derby defeat against Arminia. After 18 games without a win, the team was in danger of relegation. Relegation was achieved on the last day of the match by a 2-1 win against 1. SC Göttingen 05 and the simultaneous help of VfL Osnabrück . He beat the OSV rival Itzehoer SV 1-0 and the Osnabrück goalkeeper saved a penalty . In the same season, the OSV qualified for the first time for the DFB-Pokal, where in the first round they lost to Hertha BSC .
Successful coach Bohnsack had to leave at the end of the season and was replaced by Karl-Heinz Mülhausen . The club aimed at the 2nd Bundesliga, which should replace the regional league as the second highest division from 1974. This goal was missed by far as eleventh in the table. At the master Eintracht Braunschweig the OSV was defeated with 1: 8, which continued to play from 1974 in the third-class Oberliga Nord . There the club was initially noticed by internal quarrels. As a result, relegation could only just barely be celebrated in the 1976/77 season .
The Oststadters now increasingly rely on their own generation, so that numerous players of their own A-youth, who won the Lower Saxony Cup in 1976, moved up into the first team. With five points ahead of VfL Wolfsburg , the OSV and goal scorer Dieter Schatzschneider became champions. In the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga, however, the team failed to Wacker 04 Berlin and Holstein Kiel . Schatzschneider then moved to Hannover 96 .
Even without the striker, who became the most successful goalscorer in the history of the 2nd Bundesliga , the team was able to defend the league title a year later. The decision was made on the last day of the match, when Heinz Bartels scored the goal of the day with a penalty kick in the game against VfB Oldenburg . As champions, the Hanoverians were allowed to rise directly this season. In addition, the OSV survived the first round of the DFB Cup for the first time. After beating TSV Helmstedt , the Hanoverians lost 3-0 against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in round two .
Second division years and first crash (1979 to 1993)
Despite a modest budget of 250,000 marks , the OSV started successfully in the second division season 1979/80 . On the second match day, the Oststadt team beat Hannover 96 1-0 with a goal from Karl-August Herbeck . The other local rival Arminia Hannover was also defeated. In addition, a 3-2 victory over the eventual champions Arminia Bielefeld succeeded . Thanks to goalscorer Bernd Krumbein's 18 goals this season , OSV finished twelfth at the end of the season. A short time later, the DFB decided to convert the 2nd Bundesliga for the 1981/82 season from a two-track to a single-track league.
With a budget increased to 400,000 marks, the Oststadters aimed at the single-track 2nd division. Despite a good start, the team quickly slipped into the table cellar and finished last with 108 goals conceded at the end of the season. Away the OSV only got two points. Only 164 spectators came to the home game against SC Viktoria Köln . The only highlight of the season was the cup game at Borussia Mönchengladbach , which was lost 7-3.
After a messed up second half of the 1981/82 season with a series of 1:31 points, the Oststadters were passed through to the Lower Saxony Association League. And there, too, the team took last place, with which the OSV came after three relegations in a row in 1983 in the Landesliga West . At the same time, the association was depressed by debts of 900,000 marks.
With the OSC Hannover , a successor club was founded, which was initially allowed to take over the OSV league with the approval of the NFV . Other clubs successfully protested against this decision, so that the new club should have continued to play in the 4th district class. Bankruptcy could be averted through a settlement . In 1985 it went down to the Hanover regional league .
After patron Wolfgang Zabel had withdrawn two years later, he was promoted back to the Landesliga West. In the promotion season, the relegation only succeeded after a 1-0 win after extra time over SC Uelzen 09 . There followed years in the mediocre national league, where the OSV was able to occupy tenth place three times in a row. Finally, the Oststadt rose in the 1992/93 season as a knocked-off bottom of the table. There was a 0:10 defeat at the champions Sportfreunde Ricklingen .
Second crash (1993 to 2006)
Similar to the first half of the 1980s, the people of Oststadt experienced a rapid crash. Relegation from the Landesliga West was followed by relegation from the Hanover regional league. In 1995 the OSV finally had to relegate after a 1: 3 defeat in the playoff against SV Heiligenfelde from the district league Hannover-Süd. After these three more relegations in a row, the club was in the district class.
The free fall could be stopped in 1997 by the renewed promotion to the District League South. But this high was short-lived. Two years later, he was relegated to the district class again. The sporting low point was then reached in 2002 with the descent into the district league Hannover-Stadt. Two years later, Wolfgang Kirchner took over the management of the club and led the club into the regional league. Furthermore, in the following years youth work was intensified under significant responsibility by the youth leader Klaus Setzkorn, who returned to his old place of work, and the Kick sponsorship association initiated by him.
In 2005 the OSV was awarded the Sepp Herberger Prize . A year later, the first team under player- coach Phillip Menges won the championship in the Hannover-Stadt district league. Since the Lower Saxony Football Association abolished the district classes in the same year, the Oststadters had to contest a relegation round. Here the team prevailed against Germania Grasdorf II and Mellendorfer TV .
Upswing (since 2006)
The OSV quickly established itself in the Hanover 2 district league. Already in 2010, the Oststadt runner-up behind the neighboring club Fortuna Sachsenross Hanover . The two clubs negotiated a possible merger during 2010, but it did not materialize. A year later, he was promoted to the Hanover regional league. After the OSV team under coach Jörg Goslar was still eleven points behind the Hannoversche SC at the winter break , the Oststädter started a comeback in the second half of the season and secured the district league championship.
The team has since established itself in the regional league. The squad, which has been significantly younger than in the 2012/13 season, is currently being trained in the second season by Hilger Wirtz von Elmendorff and Garip Capin. In September 2014, the club caused a sensation by signing the former national player Fabian Ernst .

Stadion
The home of the OSV is the district of Bothfeld. On Langenforther Strasse is the Oststadt Stadium , which is approved for around 8,000 spectators and whose capacity was previously given as 12,000 seats. On March 21, 2010, the grandstand was badly damaged by fire. There was property damage of 200,000 euros . The grandstand was renovated and inaugurated with a friendly against Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg .
Youth work and social engagement
In recent years there have been various events with which the OSV Hannover has drawn attention to itself in the Hannover region. In addition to the guest appearances by Hannover 96 (September 2007 and September 2013), the comparisons with FC St. Pauli and VfL Wolfsburg also count. Since 2005, around 800 children in 60–70 junior teams from G to D juniors have been playing their winners at the Bothfeld Youth Cup in mid-June. The participating teams come mainly from the Hanover region, but also from other regions in Lower Saxony.
In addition to sports, the OSV is also involved in social issues. Particularly noteworthy are the participation in the Hanover sports clubs campaign against alcohol abuse , the support of the Hanoverian Aids Aid and participation in the campaign against homophobia in football. This overall picture also fits that the OSV Hannover had a woman as chairperson in the men's world of football from April 2010 to October 2013 with Bianka Heublein.
