The Post Sports Club Blau-Gelb Braunschweig from 1927 e. V. (Post-SV Braunschweig) was a multi-discipline sports club in Braunschweig , which in its 74-year history became the second largest sports club in Braunschweig and had several German, European and world champions in its ranks.

Cornerstones of the club's history

On April 1, 1927, 32 postal officials founded the Braunschweig Post Sports Club from 1927 e. V. (PSV) and thus followed a trend of the time to create professional sports clubs. The PSV has been open to all population and professional groups from the very beginning. In 1928 the association became a member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Deutschen Postportvereine (APV) and in 1929, at the request of the Oberpostdirektion Braunschweig, took over the implementation of professional sport for telegraph construction apprentices and in 1935 the training of the postman in self-defense by setting up a Jiu-Jitsu department. In the same year, the German sports badge was removed for the first time . On June 7, 1931, the sports field on Werkstättenweg near the Oker, with a 400 m cinder track, tennis court, fistball field and children's playground, was inaugurated jointly by the PSV and the Reichsbahn-Turn- und Sportverein (now Lawn Sports Club Braunschweig from 1928 eV) used. On the instructions of the Reich Sports Leader , the PSV had to change its name in 1940 to Postsportgemeinschaft Braunschweig von 1927 eV (PSG). In the turmoil of war, the association took over the administration of the "Waldhöhe" poster recreation home in Braunlage from the Deutsche Reichspost on February 20, 1941 , which was also available to members of other North German postal sports associations.

By order of the British military government, the PSG ceased sports operations in 1945, but legally continued to exist. The assets you had at the end of the war and some tangible assets were held in trust by the Braunschweig Post Office. On March 7, 1950, 34 postal workers decided to apply for readmission, which was approved on April 18, 1950. The PSG gave itself the name Sportverein Blau-Gelb from 1927 (SV Blau-Gelb) because "authorities associations" were not yet tolerated. In 1951, the city administration made the 24,000 m² “Rote Wiese” site available to the club on a leasehold basis for the construction of its own sports facility, which was inaugurated on August 2, 1952 as the “Post Sports Stadium Rote Wiese”. This was followed in 1954 by the construction of the glider pilot's yard on Weinbergweg and on May 26, 1955, the new clubhouse "Rote Wiese" was put into operation. In 1960 the club was named "Postsportverein Blau-Gelb Braunschweig von 1927 e. V. “(Post-SV) at.

A long period of sporting successes and innovations began. In 1967 a "sports cabinet" with fitness equipment was set up in the clubhouse. In 1969 the Braunschweiger Tanzsportclub (BTSC) joined the club as BTSC in Post-SV Blau-Gelb , and an office with full-time employees and IT was set up. In 1970 a youth council was formed for the first time for interdisciplinary youth work, and youth regulations were drawn up that served as a model for many clubs in the Federal Republic of Germany.

In 1972 the 1st Braunschweiger Badminton Club in the Post-SV went on and brought the division "Oberliga Nord" with it. The athletics department joined the Braunschweig Athletics Association (LG) in 1978 .

With the construction of a fitness studio with sauna, solarium and sports kindergarten in September 1988, the association entered new territory in Braunschweig and in 1989 opened the dance sports center in the Büssing-Hof. From 1990 onwards, the “GesundFit” department affiliated with the fitness studio continued to expand the range of courses (e.g. exercise therapy, coronary sports), which has become known in Germany as the “Braunschweiger Modell”, in cooperation with the company health insurance funds, and hired a sports doctor. The company health insurance funds took over the costs for their members in whole or in part and added hundreds of new members to the association. With regard to the “Braunschweig Model”, the DSB stated in a letter that “it is an excellent example of how an association can succeed in assuming political co-responsibility in the field of health education, prevention and rehabilitation.” With this, the Post confirmed -SV aims to promote popular sport not only in the various departments, but also centrally. At the turn of the millennium, the company's own sports facilities included the "Rote Wiese" stadium with 3 floodlit playing fields, athletics facilities, 1 basketball field, 2 halfpipes, 14 tennis courts, 1 two-field tennis hall, the "Rote Wiese" clubhouse with a restaurant, ballroom, office, fitness studio, Sauna and karate dojo, the dance center "Böcklerstraße" with 2 halls and gastronomy and the glider pilot farm "Weinbergweg".

The Post-SV took the increasing importance of top-class sport into account in 1992 by founding the company MarketTeam Gesellschaft für Marketing und Sportmanagement mbH (MT) in order to finance it through marketing and sponsoring. The performance orientation continued in 1993 when the swimming department joined the Swimming Start Community Braunschweig e. V. (SSG). In the same year, Post-SV was awarded the Lower Saxony Sports Medal by the Lower Saxony Prime Minister for excellent work . In 1994 the expanded dance sports center was given the status of a performance center of the Lower Saxony Dance Sports Association (NTV), and the handball department initially formed a syndicate with SV Süd Braunschweig (SV Süd) and took over the first women's team (2nd Bundesliga) in 1996. The standard formation dancers (multiple world, European and German champions), the American football team Braunschweig Lions (multiple German Bowl winners, Eurobowl winners) and the women's handball team achieved supraregional importance .

Although in 1997 the game operations of the 1st teams in American football and handball were spun off into two GmbHs and several full-time employees regulated the club's business, the costs of top-class sport and the maintenance of its own sports facilities increasingly led to the club's financial difficulties from 1993 onwards. In 1999, the rugby and volleyball departments also left the Post-SV as one. In 2000, after internal disputes, the American Football department joined the newly founded 1. Fitness and Football Club Braunschweig (FFC) and left behind six-figure debts. In October 2001, the dance sports department left the Post-SV and re-established the Braunschweiger Tanzsportclub (BTSC).

The large decline in membership and unsolved financing problems ultimately led to the fact that, despite various rescue attempts, on December 1, 2001, the bankruptcy proceedings were opened via the Post-SV and the association was wound up. The sports club Blau-Gelb Braunschweig e. V. never started sports.
