Preußen Duisburg (officially: Duisburger Sportclub "Preußen" from 1901 eV ) is a sports club from the Duisburg district of Duissern . The association was founded on June 12, 1901. The first soccer team once took part in the final round of the West German Championship. The first hockey team played in the field hockey Bundesliga for three years .

history

Founded on June 12, 1901 by 13 sport-loving young men, a lively sport life developed in the early years. Football, athletics , tennis , cricket , batting , hockey, ice hockey , swimming , gymnastics and gymnastics were practiced in the following years. Today the club has three departments: football, hockey and tennis. In their early years, the Prussians were a bourgeois- elitist society. The club's founders were high school students . You could only become a member if you had the one-year certificate or upper secondary qualification.

Soccer

The first official soccer game against the Bocholt soccer club took place in the founding year and was won 4-0. From 1902 the footballers played in the first class Rhein / Ruhr class at the time . The sporting climax of the club's history was reached in the 1908/09 season, when the Prussians secured the district championship with a 2-1 play-off win against Duisburg SpV . This qualified the team for the West German Championship . There they first beat Casseler FV 8: 5 and then in the semifinals BV Dortmund 04 4: 1. Thus, the Prussians were in the final, which was lost against FC Munich-Gladbach just 3-2 after extra time . Alfred Berghausen completed his first and only game in the German national team on May 16, 1910 when he played against Belgium .

Due to this success, the Duisburgers were included in the newly created ten-man league , in which the strongest teams in the Rhineland were combined. The greatest success here was seventh place in the 1911/12 season , where the Prussians beat Duisburger SpV 4-1 at home and won 1-0 at champions Cologne BC 01 . A year later the ten league was dissolved again. During the First World War , games were only played locally. In 1915, the Prussians lost the final for the Ruhr District Cup against Meidericher SV 2: 3 after extra time, a year later the team failed in the final for the Ruhr District Championship at BV Altenessen 06 .

From 1917 to August 1918, Prussia Duisburg formed a war syndicate with the Duisburg SpV. After the end of the First World War , the Prussians fought for a long time against relegation from the top division. Finally, the team had to go down to the second division in 1927 . The direct resurgence was missed by one point before the Prussians slipped into fourth class in 1928. A year later, the club even refrained from hosting championship games and called for a return to pure amateur sport. With this step, the Prussians earned a lot of attention, but the club slipped into insignificance in terms of sport.

After the end of the Second World War , the team initially played in a syndicate with the Post Sports Club Duisburg as Duisburger SC Blau-Weiß , which only lasted until 1948. After many years at the district level, he was promoted to the district league in 1972. After a fourth place in the promotion season, relegation followed a year later. It was not until 1975 that it was promoted again, and the Prussians were able to stay in the district league until 1980. Further district league guest games followed in the 1981/82 season and from 2005 to 2009. The sporting highlight of the post-war period was the 2006/07 season, when the Prussians were runner-up only because of the worse goal difference behind Heimaterde Mülheim . Since relegation in 2013, the Prussian first team has played in the district league B.

In the 2017/18 season, DSC Prussia was promoted to the district league A. After relegation in the following season, they were promoted again directly so that they play in the district league A again in the 2020/21 season.

hockey

The hockey department was founded in 1913. In 1937 the Prussians took part in a West German championship for the first time. The sporting upswing began in the 1950s when the Duisburg -based company was able to strengthen itself through the brothers Hans-Jürgen and Hugo Dollheiser . The latter took part with the German national team in the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne , Australia , where the team won bronze. The first men's team became West German champions in 1972 after winning the seven-meter shootout against Eintracht Duisburg and then successfully prevailed in the promotion round to the Bundesliga . For three years (1972–1975) DSC Prussia played in the 1st Bundesliga and is still Duisburg's most successful hockey club.

athletics

Otto Trieloff became German champion in the 400-meter run in 1908 . At the Olympic Games in London in 1908 , Trieloff and the German team won the silver medal in the Olympic relay . Andreas Breynk and Hermann von Bönninghausen also took part in the 1908 Olympic Games . Von Bönninghausen twice improved the German record in the long jump in 1907 . Breynk set the German record in the 1000-meter run in 1908. The club hosted the German Athletics Championships in 1912 . However, the athletics department had to be closed at the end of 2015.

tennis

The greatest successes of the tennis department of the DSC Prussia were winning two "German Championships Men 40" in 2002 and 2006. In addition, in 2005 Prussia was "West German Champion". The tennis department of Prussia Duisburg hosted the international Prussian eagle youth tournament between 1973 and 2011 . The best-known participant is the Swiss world-class player Roger Federer . 16 international youth teams competed against each other for 38 years. The tournament was discontinued in 2012 due to a lack of participants.
