Preußen Essen (officially: Essener Sportclub Preußen eV , also known as ESC Preußen 02 ) is a sports club from Essen . The first soccer team played for three years in the highest amateur league in the Lower Rhine region.
history
The association was founded on August 10, 1902 or December 25, 1902. In 1933 the association merged with BV Altenessen to become BV Preußen Altenessen . This merger was resolved again the following year. From 1944 to 1945 the Prussians formed a war gaming community together with TuS Helene Essen . In 2010 the soccer department of the Police SV Essen joined the Prussians. In addition to soccer, there is a gymnastics department . In earlier times handball , hockey , fistball , athletics and singing were also offered.
The first successful period in the club's history began after the First World War . In 1919 the Prussians rose to the top division of the time and two years later they became runner-up in the Ruhr-Emscher district league behind SC Gelsenkirchen 07 . In the second half of the 1920s things went downhill in terms of sport and in 1928 the qualification for the newly created Ruhr District League was missed by far. In 1933 there was a merger with BV Altenessen to form BV Preußen Altenessen, which was included in the newly created Gauliga Niederrhein . Despite a 3-2 victory over the champions VfL Benrath , the merged team failed to stay up and the Prussians became independent again. Until the end of the Second World War , the Essenes remained lower class.
After the end of the war, the Prussians won the Ruhr district championship in the 1945/46 season and failed in the semi-finals of the Lower Rhine championship in front of 18,000 spectators with 0: 1 after extra time at Rot-Weiß Oberhausen . A year later, the team was one of the founding members of the newly created national league , the highest amateur league at the time. From this, the Prussians got down in 1950 and nine years later had to go into the district class. In 1961 the club reached its sporting low point when it was relegated to the 2nd district class. Many years followed at the district level before the Prussians returned to the district league from 1991 to 1993.
In 1995, after a 1-0 play-off win over TuS Helene Essen, they returned to the district league. Three years later it went back to the district league A. From 2000 to 2007, the Prussians played again in the district league before two relegations in a row brought the club to the district B in 2008. In 2014, the team known as the " Falcons " defeated Wacker Bergeborbeck 8-2 in the playoff for promotion and returned to the A district league.
