Club development

On June 20, 1895, the four high school students Michael Beyer, Paul Buchholtz, Wilhelm Metzenthin and Werner Ahrens founded the "Rostocker Fußball-Club (RFC)". In 1899 the first match against the International Football Club (IFC) Rostock took place, which the RFC won 1-0. Since 1900 membership in the association has also been open to non-school students. In 1905, the RFC joined the Mecklenburg Football Association and from then on played for the official association championships in northern Germany. Around 1911, the search for a suitable area to develop an own sports field on Satower Chaussee was successful.

The merger with the “Rostock Football Club Greif from 1916” and the “Rostocker Swim Club” on March 21, 1919 took account of the growing need for club sports. The new club name "Rostocker Sport-Club (RSC) von 1895" showed the diversity of the offer and combined zeitgeist with tradition. In the press, the short form Rostock 95 was mostly still used. The "reorganization of German sport" in the National Socialist sense let the RSC merge into one of the four Rostock "large communities". On February 3, 1938, the merger with the "Club for Lawn Sports of 1903", the "Rostocker Turnerbund", the "Rostocker Turnerschaft" and the "Rostock Swimming Club" to form the "Gymnastics and Sports Association (TSG) Rostock".

After the Second World War , the Rostock “Sports Group South” initially used the former TSG pitches. In the course of the "conversion of sport on a production basis", some members joined the "Company Sports Association (BSG) Einheit Rostock" from 1949. Satower Straße became the home of "BSG Motor (Nord-West)", to which since 1954 the members of the former "BSG Aufbau" belonged. In 1969 the association was named “Gymnastics and Sports Association (TSG) Bau Rostock” under the auspices of the “VEB Housing Combine Rostock”.

With the end of GDR socialism, on July 18, 1990, the name was changed to "Turn- und Sportverein (TSV) Grün-Weiß Rostock 1895 eV". This should appropriately continue the tradition of the "Rostocker Sport-Club von 1895" at its former place of work. On October 29, 1996, the footballers broke away from the "TSV Grün-Weiß" and founded the "Rostocker FC von 1895 eV".

Rostock 95 played in the Oberliga Lübeck-Mecklenburg of the NFV until 1933 , so it belonged to the top division.

In the football season 1942/43, TSG Rostock was classified in the newly established Gauliga Mecklenburg , one of 29 leagues that led to the finals of the German football championship. TSG prevailed among seven teams as Gaumeister, in the subsequent final of the German championship 1942/43 the Mecklenburgers failed in the qualifying round at Holstein Kiel . Also in 1943, TSG qualified as a cup winner for the Sportgau Mecklenburg for the 1943 Tschammer Cup . In the first final round, the Berlin Cup winner Hertha BSC was the opponent, the Rostock defeat clearly with 1: 7 and were eliminated from the competition. TSG Rostock ended the last Mecklenburg Gauliga season with ten participants in 7th place.

In 1958, BSG Motor Nordwest Rostock was promoted to the then fourth-class Rostock district league , in which it was able to hold until its relegation in 1963. In 1967, Northwest returned to the now third-rate district league, only to be relegated in 1969. As TSG Bau, the Rostockers reached the district league for the third time in 1970. In 1971 the former top division player of FC Hansa Rostock Günter Madeja became player-coach. He led TSG after a 4: 3 and a 2: 2 against Vorwärts Stralsund II in 1973 to the district championship and thus to promotion to the second-rate GDR league . The Rostockers were able to maintain a total of thirteen seasons there. With the relay win in the 1978/79 season, the club took part in the promotion round to the GDR Oberliga , but failed at FC Vorwärts Frankfurt and at BSG Chemie Leipzig . Since the 1970s, TSG had become the basin for former FC Hansa Rostock players who had either been delegated there because they were unsuccessful or wanted to end their careers at TSG (see people). In 1986, TSG had to return to the district league together with Stahl Hettstedt and Brieske-Senftenberg . In 1990 the district championship was won again, but promotion to the GDR league was missed due to the last place in the promotion round.

TSG's successor, TSV Grünweiß, came third in the district league in 1991 and thus qualified for the newly created Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Association League . There the team was represented until their relegation in 1996. After that, the split-off Rostocker FC started in 1996/97 in the sixth class state league. In 1998 he returned to the Association League. In the 2009/10 season they reached the cup final for the DFB state cup. The RFC lost the final against Torgelower SV Greif with 1: 2. In the 2010/11 season, Rostocker FC closed the association league as third in the table and achieved the best placement since its re-establishment.

With the memorable 2019/20 season and the associated club birthday (125 years), the club achieved something historic. Due to the good performance of the 1st men in the association league (2nd place) and the women's championship, both flagships will play nationally for the first time in the 2020/21 season. The men will start in the Oberliga Nordost, while the women will fight for points in the Regionalliga. In addition, the women have the right to start in the first round of the women's DFB Cup. In addition, the club also succeeded in competing in the top national league with all teams from A to D youth.
