history

In 1909 the football department in the gymnastics and fencing club Preußen Danzig, founded in 1860, was brought into being and played in the league system of the Baltic Lawn and Winter Sports Association (BRWV). 1911/12 the club rose in the first-class district league Danzig . In 1920/21 the club won the Gdansk District League for the first time , which meant that he qualified for the Baltic football finals. In this Danzig was subject to the Stettiner SC and the VfB Königsberg . Another district championship title was won in 1922/23 , due to decisions at the green table , Danzig came second in the Baltic football final. The last district championship was won in 1923/24 , in the league, which was held in two groups during this season, Prussia Danzig met group A winner against group winner B SV Ostmark Danzig . After the first leg was lost 0: 1, Prussia was able to prevail in the second leg (3: 0) and in the play-off (3: 1) and thus qualified for the third time for the Baltic football finals. But also this year VfB Königsberg was too strong, Danzig at least achieved the runner-up title. In the years to come, the club fell regionally behind, among other things, the up-and-coming clubs SV Neufahrwasser and SV Schutzpolizei Danzig . With one point behind BuEV Danzig , the club had to relegate to the second division for the first time after the 1928/29 season . In 1929 the sports and soccer department was spun off from TuFC Preußen. 1909 Danzig and called itself SC Preußen Danzig .

In the second-class A-Class Danzig spent Prussia Danzig but only one season, 1929-30 already re-promotion to the now Kreisliga Danzig called league. In 1931/32 , the club qualified for the second place in the table in the district league for the football finals of the Grenzmark district, but had to give way in Group B Viktoria Stolp and therefore missed the qualification for the Baltic football final. By winning the city championship of Danzig in 1932/33 , the football finals Grenzmarks were reached again. In this Prussia reached the final against VfL Danzig . With a 5-2 first leg win, Prussia created a good foundation, but the second leg was lost 2-1. Since an addition of the results was not planned, there was a playoff, which was played on November 27, 1932. In this, Prussia lost to Danzig just 1: 2 after extra time. Nevertheless, Prussia was also allowed to take part in the Baltic football final as runner-up at Grenzmarks. With one point behind SV Hindenburg Allenstein , Danzig missed the runner-up title, which was synonymous with qualifying for the German football championship, and came third.

When the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the football associations were dissolved and replaced by Sportgaue . The three best clubs from the city championship of Danzig for the planned season 1933/34 qualified for the first-class Gauliga East Prussia . By taking third place in the table in the city championship, which was originally part of the final round in 1933/34, Prussia Danzig qualified for the Gauliga East Prussia in 1933/34 . The first season of the Gauliga was extremely successful for Danzig. In the league played in two groups, the victory in group A could be secured with one point ahead of VfB Königsberg . In the subsequent final for the gaume championship, Prussia Danzig lost the first leg against Hindenburg Allenstein 2: 3, but still secured the gaume championship with a 6: 1 success in the second leg. In the subsequent German soccer championship in 1933/34 , however, Danzig did not get beyond the group stage. In the following seasons Prussia Danzig was still one of the leading clubs in Danzig, but fell behind other clubs from East Prussia in terms of quality. After the 1937/38 season , the Gauliga East Prussia was reduced from 28 to ten participants, due to the surprisingly poor fifth place in the table in the Danzig district, in previous years the district could be completed first, Prussia Danzig had to relegate to the second-class district class. The direct resurgence succeeded in the 1939/40 season , in which the Gauvizemeistertitel was fought for in a smaller final group after the final round was canceled. For the 1940/41 season , the Danzig and Elbingen clubs were transferred to the newly founded Gauliga Danzig-West Prussia . As early as 1941 Prussia Danzig was undefeated Gaumeister, in the subsequent German football championship 1940/41 Danzig failed again in the group stage. The club remained in the Gauliga Danzig-West Prussia until the end, but could not win another championship title.

After the Second World War , what was once German Danzig was annexed by the Soviet Union and placed under Polish administration . The SC Preussen Danzig was, like all other German clubs and facilities, forcing dissolved.
