history
On October 1, 1907, members of the “wild” sports teams Harburg and Germania Harburg founded the Britannia Harburg football club . In 1914 the name of the club was changed to Harburger Ballspielverein 1907 . After the club first adopted the name FC Britannia 1907 Harburg in the spring of 1919, the name was changed in November 1919 to Club for Lawn Sports Harburg . The club was popularly referred to as Lawn Sport Harburg .
Although the association came from the middle-class camp , it enjoyed great support from the workers at the Phoenix AG rubber factory . One reason for this was that Lawn Sports' original home was on the opposite side of the factory. In 1922, when he was promoted to the Northern Hanover district league, he made it into the top division for the first time. Two years later, the lawn athletes secured the championship and failed in qualifying for the North German Championship after a 3: 4 defeat against Union 03 Altona .
In the next two years, too, the Harburg team failed to qualify. In 1925, Eintracht Braunschweig won 1-0, a year later it was Altona 93 , who won 4-3. It wasn't until 1928 that the breakthrough came after a 6-3 win after extra time against Werder Bremen . In the final round, the team without points was last. Round winner Hamburger SV was able to win 1-0 against the lawn athletes with difficulty.
When the Gauligen were introduced , the Harburgers were not taken into account and had to go into second class. It was not until 1935 that they were promoted to the Lower Saxony Gauliga, where the team scored some notable successes. The Harburgers won 4-0 at SV Arminia Hannover in 1935/36 and 3-0 a year later at Hannover 96 . In the course of the Greater Hamburg Law , the club moved to the Nordmark area and in 1938 was promoted to the Gauliga there. At the end of the season, relegation followed, as the team had the worse goal quotient compared to Altona 93 .
After the Second World War , the Harburgers made it into the second-rate Hamburg amateur league in 1951 and developed into an elevator team . It was not until 1959 that the club was able to establish itself in the Hamburg upper house and missed the promotion round to the Regionalliga Nord in the promotion season because of the poorer goal quotient compared to the Harburger TB . After Ludwig Pöhler took over the coaching position, the regional league promotion surprisingly succeeded in 1964. Since the amateurs of Hamburger SV were not allowed to take part in the promotion round, the lawn athletes first had to play a playoff against TSV Uetersen , which was won 2-1.
At that time, lawn sports played on the club square on Marmstorfer Weg in the Marmstorf district , on the southern edge of the Harburg city park .
The opening game of the promotion round was lost 4-0 at VfL Oldesloe . After that, the Harburgers won all games and after a 3-1 win at SV Meppen they were promoted. For financial reasons, the club waived reinforcements and had to relegate immediately as the bottom of the table. The low point of the season was a 10:10 defeat at Arminia Hannover. A year later, a 1-0 win in the decider against local rivals Borussia prevented the crash into the association league. In 1968 lawn sport finally rose from the regional league and two years later from the association league. On March 12, 1970 lawn sport merged with Borussia to form Harburger SC .
