history

In the course of the attack on Poland at the beginning of the Second World War , the Polish city of Gdynia was occupied and annexed by the German Empire and renamed Gotenhafen. The Post-SG Gotenhafen was founded in 1940.

From then on, the football department played in the newly established Sportgau Danzig-West Prussia . In the 1940/41 season still ranked in the third-class 2nd class Danzig Staffel Gotenhafen , the promotion to the second-class 1st class Danzig took place in the 1941/42 season . For the 1942/43 season, the club was classified in the 1st class district group Sopot / Gotenhafen and won this league. In the subsequent round of promotion to the Gauliga Danzig-West Prussia in 1943/44 , the club prevailed behind the Danziger SC and thus qualified for the first-class Gauliga in the coming year. The Gauliga season 1943/44 was successfully contested, the Post-SG Gotenhafen came second and missed the Gaume Championship by only three points behind LSV Danzig . The Gauliga Danzig-West Prussia 1944/45 was canceled after a few game days, the game operation then took place in regional classes. The Post-SG played in Season II Gotenhafen until it was canceled in January 1945 .

The occupation of Gotenhafen ended after the Second World War . The Post-SG Gotenhafen was - like all other German associations and institutions - forcibly dissolved.
