The sports community of the Ordnungspolizei Danzig ( SG OrPo Danzig for short ) was a football club from Danzig . It was founded in 1920 under the name Sportverein Schutzpolizei Gdansk as a sports club of the city police.
In 1921, the club first took part in the West Prussian regional league of the Baltic football championship and, as the regional champion of the 1921/22 season , played straight away in the final round of the Baltic championship. As third place out of three teams, they missed the championship and a qualification for the German championship final round without a point. During the 1920s, the club was represented as district champion in 1922, 1927 , 1928 and 1930 a total of four times in the qualifying games of the regional Baltic Football Association , but could still not record any successes. From 1930, following a restructuring of the Baltic Association, the SV Danzig was a member of the Danzig District League, a relay of the Grenzmark district.
In 1933 , when the SV was sixth in the Danzig district league, the SV failed to qualify for the Gauliga East Prussia, which was newly created after the Nazi regime, and played for a year in the now second-rate district league. In 1934 the Danziger rose and took part in the Gauliga, whose group A they finished second in the first year and thus missed the final of the East Prussian Championship in 1935 with four points behind SV Prussia-Samland Königsberg . After that, they were in the Danzig district group, which was part of the East Prussian Gauliga, until 1938, and in 1936, as the penultimate of seven teams, only narrowly escaped relegation by two points ahead of SC Lauental . The following season was also ended unsuccessfully in sixth place; this year there was no relegation, at least in the Gdansk district. Ironically in the 1937/38 season - the last before the tightening to a single-track Gauliga - the Schutzpolizei achieved a better ranking with third place, missing the last East Prussian final round by three points behind KS Gedania Danzig , but was allowed to be one of three Danzig teams remain in the Gauliga East Prussia, while the other four clubs had to accept relegation.
In the single-track league with ten participants of SV finished 1939 fourth in a place in midfield and came in August 1939 under the new name police SV Gdansk in the first final round of Tschammer Cup his only national cup match on, but had directly Viktoria Stolp with 2: 3 beaten. Participation in the 1939/40 season had to be canceled due to the effects of the Second World War . After that, the Gauliga Danzig-West Prussia, a new, smaller division was formed as a spin-off from the Gauliga East Prussia in order to keep the travel stress low, which was too expensive due to the war. In this, PSV Danzig took sixth and last place at the same time, but remained first class, as the league was increased to ten teams in the following year. In 1941 the club was renamed Sportgemeinschaft der Ordnungspolizei Danzig and played its last full season under this name in 1941/42, in which he was eighth and three points in front of Elbinger SV and prevented relegation before the SG added during the 1942/43 season was urged to leave the Gauliga voluntarily. With the flight and expulsion of the German population in 1945, the association ceased to exist.
The sports community of the Ordnungspolizei Gdansk usually played their home games on the police sports field.
