history
On April 4, 1894, the sports teacher HC Heesch founded the Munich-Gladbacher FC 94 . This was entered in the register of associations on May 5, 1895 . After the end of the First World War , the club was renamed Sportclub 1894 Munich-Gladbach . In 1933 the club had to merge with local rivals Borussia Munich-Gladbach to form SC Borussia Munich-Gladbach . The merger was resolved just a year later. As a result of the merger with Borussia, the SC's hockey department joined the Gladbach HTC . The tennis department split off and founded the colorful garden , the TG Red-White .
From 1902, the club took part in the game operations of the West German game association and promptly became district champion of the Lower Rhine region. In the final round of the West German Championship, however, the team was only last. In 1905 and 1908, the Munich-Gladbachers were West German runners-up. In the finals, the team lost 1: 2 and 0: 5 to Duisburg SpV . The club finally reached its sporting zenith in 1909. With a 3-2 final victory over Prussia Duisburg , the Gladbach West German football champions were qualified for the final round of the German championship. Here the end followed in the first round after the team in neutral Duisburg clearly lost 5-0 to the later title holder Phönix Karlsruhe . Also in 1909, the club qualified for the newly created ten-man league , in which the strongest clubs from the Rhineland were combined until it was dissolved four years later. In the 1909/10 opening season, the Gladbach runners-up were behind Duisburger SpV.
After the end of the First World War, the club continued to play in the first-class 1st district class of the Rheinischer Westkreis . There the team mostly finished third. In 1929 the Gladbachers qualified for the newly created Rheinbezirksliga . There the team immediately became runner-up behind SpVgg Sülz 07, a forerunner of 1. FC Köln . Through the runner-up, the SC team took part in the so-called round of second , where they failed in the semifinals with 2: 3 after extra time to Preussen Krefeld . Four years later, the Gladbachers took the last place in the table, but were accepted into the newly created first-class Gauliga Niederrhein due to the forced merger with Borussia Munich-Gladbach . A year later, the merger was resolved and SC München-Gladbach continued to play in the second-rate district class.
There the club was always one of the top teams. After a runner-up in 1938 behind SpVg Odenkirchen , the Gladbach team became champions of the district class four years later. In the following round of promotion to Gauliga, however, the team failed at Fortuna Düsseldorf . After the end of the Second World War, the SC Munich-Gladbach played in the district class Linker Niederrhein from 1947 and did not get beyond midfield positions there. As a consequence of the stagnation, there was a merger with local rivals Eintracht Munich-Gladbach in 1950 to form 1. FC Munich-Gladbach, which has been called 1. FC Mönchengladbach since 1961 .
