Rapide Wedding (officially: Sport-Club Rapide Wedding 1893 eV ) was a football club from Berlin-Wedding . The first team played for two years in the then first-class Berlin city league and eight years in the then second-class Berlin Regionalliga .

history

Rapide Wedding's predecessor clubs were, on the one hand, the BFC Rapide 93 Niederschönhausen , which was founded by some students from the Friedrich-Werderschen-Realschule on October 1, 1893 under the name of the Berliner Tor- und Fußballclub Rapide in Niederschönhausen and on January 28, 1900 was one of the founding clubs of the DFB . The other two clubs were the Reinickendorfer BC 06 and BFC Wedding , which merged in 1914 to form SC Wedding 1914 . After the Second World War , both clubs initially operated under the names SG Niederschönhausen (Rapide 93) and SG Schillerpark (Wedding 1914), before the merger of SC Wedding with parts of the still existing SG Rapide Niederschönhausen (from 1953 BSG Empor Pankow) to form SC Rapide Wedding took place in 1893 . The Austrian record champions Rapid Wien took this name as a model.

Rapide Wedding was first champion of the Berlin amateur league in 1958. At the German amateur championship of this year they failed only in the semifinals against the later German amateur champion Hombrucher FV 09 from Dortmund. The championship of the Berlin amateur league could be repeated in 1966, combined with promotion to the Berlin Regional Football League , the second highest league in Germany at the time. Rapide Wedding played a total of eight seasons in the regional league, after which it was dissolved in 1974 as a founding member of the new football league in Berlin . In the same year, Rapide coach Gerhardt Nitsch led the team to win the Berlin State Cup (final against Hertha Zehlendorf ). In the associated qualification for participation in the DFB Cup , the Berliners won in the first main round against TuS Mayen (3: 0), but later failed significantly with 0: 4 at local rivals Tennis Borussia Berlin .

In the following year, Rapide Wedding reached the DFB Cup main round again and was defeated by VfB Stuttgart 2: 9 after a 2-0 lead . Until the merger to form SV Nord Wedding 1893 in 2001, the club went down to the sixth class Landesliga Berlin. The club's A youth won the Berlin championship in 1975. The then young league (corresponds to today's U-21) became Berlin champions in 1981.

The merger partner SV Nord-Nordstern 1896 was formed in 1973 from the clubs VfL Nord Berlin and BFC Nordstern 07 , both of which played in the Berlin amateur league for a long time. After Nordstern 07 in 1972 and VfL Nord in 1973 were relegated from the amateur league, both clubs merged in the same year. The association remained in this form until the merger with Rapide Wedding in 2001.

In the 2009/10 season, the first men's team of SV Nord Wedding rose to the ninth-class district league A. In 2010/11 there was a further relegation as the bottom of the table, now to the district league B and in 2014 the absolute low point was reached with the descent to the district league C. Only a shortly thereafter closed gap in the game rules enabled the second team to move up from the district league C to the district league B, which elegantly concealed this disgrace in the chronicles. Since 2017, SV Nord Wedding has been back in the district league A.
