The SC Erfurt 1895 was a soccer club from Erfurt that existed from 1895 to 1945. The SC Erfurt was a founding member of the DFB in 1900 and a pioneer of the football movement in the Thuringian region.
Club history
The club was founded as Cricket Club Erfurt on May 25, 1895 and renamed SC Erfurt 1895 a year later . In 1904 the club joined the Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs (VMBV). On January 28, 1900, a representative of the club took part in the founding meeting of the German Football Association , making it a founding member of the DFB . The number of members of the association rose from 50 in 1900 to 419 in 1914 and reached the 1000 mark in the early 1920s. In 1927 the SC Erfurt was the second largest club in the VMBV with 1256 members. The club played its games mainly in the Cyriaksburg sports park at the Cyriaksburg citadel on what is now the egapark site. The sports field had a wooden grandstand with 600 seats.
When, after the Second World War, all sports clubs had to be dissolved on January 1, 1946, due to Directive No. 23 of the Allied Control Council of the Occupying Powers, this also affected SC Erfurt 1895.
Athletic career
The Central German Football Championship 1908/09 was able to win the SC Erfurt with a 5-4 success against VfL Halle on May 9th, 1909 and thus qualify for the German Football Championship 1908/09 . In the final round of the German football championship , the SC reached the semi-finals, in which the SC defeated the eventual champions FC Phoenix Karlsruhe with 9: 1 (3: 0) on May 23, 1909 .
