The SC Lituania Tilsit was a German sports club in the East Prussian city of Tilsit , today Sowetsk.
Club history
The club, founded in 1907, played within the Baltic Lawn Sports Association (BRV). In the 1910/11 season, Tilsit qualified by winning the Tilsit / Memel district league for the Baltic finals, in which the team surprisingly won the Baltic football championship after victories over SC Prussia Insterburg and SV Ostmark Danzig . With this victory, Tilsit qualified for the German soccer championship 1910/11 , but waived the quarter-final match against Berlin TuFC Viktoria 89 due to high travel costs .
Also in 1911/12 and 1912/13 was Lituania Tilsit district champion of Tilsit / Memel , but in the subsequent Baltic finals, the club lost in the semifinals each of the Konigsberg clubs. After the First World War , the divisions were restructured in what is now called the Baltic Lawn and Winter Sports Association. The Tilsit / Memel district was now part of District I East Prussia , so the winner no longer qualified directly for the Baltic finals, but first played the district champion of East Prussia. 1919/20 , 1920/21 , 1921/22 , 1923/24 and 1924/25 was Lituania Tilsit again district champion in Tilsit, but lost in the final round East Prussian king Berger clubs admit defeat and thus missed participating in the Baltic football finals. 1925/26 Tilsit missed the qualification for the upcoming season newly introduced top East Prussian league and from then on played second class. In the season 1928/29 Lituania Tilsit won the Staffelliga Ost and qualified for the promotion round to the first-class East Prussian League 1928/29. In this qualifying round Tilsit was tied with SV Hindenburg Allenstein at the end , so a playoff was called. For unknown reasons, however, Tilsit decided not to host this play-off so that Allenstein rose without a fight.
In 1929 the merger with VfK Tilsit took place in 1911/21 to form Tilsiter SC .
