The STC Görlitz was a German multi-branch club from Görlitz in the Silesian Upper Lusatia . It was founded as a football club in 1906 and existed until the end of the Second World War.

history

The club was founded in 1906 as SC Preußen Görlitz and belonged to the Southeast German Football Association . After the First World War , the merger with the Gymnastics Club Görlitz, founded in 1873, took place in 1919 to form the Sport and Gymnastics Club 1906 Görlitz . In 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1921, 1923, 1927 and 1933 the Upper Lusatian Association became champions and thus achieved participation in the south-east German finals . An exception is the year 1923, in which, for unknown reasons, participation in the Southeast German final round was waived and the ATV Görlitz took part in it instead .

After the founding of the Gauliga Schlesien , the STC Görlitz received a starting place in this league as Oberlausitz runner-up in 1932/33 of the SOFV, but rose after the first season in the second-rate district league Lower Silesia . In 1939 he was promoted to the Gauliga Silesia, which was also followed by direct descent. In 1943 the club rose to the Gauliga Lower Silesia and reached fifth place in the table in the Görlitz group in their last season. A game operation in the 1944/45 season is not recorded. At the end of the war in 1945 , the association, which was a civil association with the club bar "Kaiser Friedrich" at Victoriastraße 2 (ul. Wolności), went out.

The tennis department established itself in 1936 as the “First Görlitzer Tennis Club 1906, e. V. ”and has been operating as the yellow-white Görlitz tennis club since 1990 after belonging to the tennis sections of the company sports associations Medicine, Unity, Energy and Locomotive. This successor club is located next to the former south sports field, which is now built over with a kindergarten and arbours. The hockey sport, which was also cultivated at Görlitzer HC, ATV and Rot-Weiß Görlitz, put down new roots in the southern part of the city ​​in 1979 at BSG Post (since 1990 Post SV ) on the Eiswiese.

Venues

The club's first game was played on the parade ground in Klingewalde, but the first real home was Friedrichsplatz (today Plac Jerzego Popiełuszki in Zgorzelec ). A sports field owned by the bourgeois club was built at Seidenberger Straße 24 next to the circus square. In 1914, with its inauguration, there was also the Preußenplatz (today's Eiswiese) in the southern part of the city and, in the interwar period, the southern sports ground with 4,000 seats near Frauenburgstrasse, also in the southern part of the city. This is shown in a city map (probably from 1934) as an STC-Platz, while the Eiswiese is run there as a municipal sports field and not far from Seidenberger Straße only the Schenkendorfplatz is recorded. The STC played Gauliga games in what was then the largest stadium in the city - the current site of the Polish club Nysa Zgorzelec . In a map from August 1919, the future STC-Platz is already projected under the name Preußenplatz.
