SC Recklinghausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The SC Recklinghausen was a sports club from Recklinghausen . The first soccer team played in the highest Westphalian amateur league for nine years.

history

The association was created in 1971 through the merger of the SuS and Viktoria Recklinghausen associations . Viktoria had to give up its Viktoria-Kampfbahn stadium in the west quarter in favor of the Knappschaftskrankenhaus. However, since the hospital was built much later (it was occupied in 1984), the stadium was used next to the Hibernia arena for the SuS in the east quarter until the SC was dissolved .

Viktoria had played for two years in the then first-class Gauliga Westfalen and in 1921 became vice-Westphalian champion behind Arminia Bielefeld , while SuS had played for three years in the highest Westphalian amateur league and in 1948 lost in the finals of the Westphalia championship in Prussia and Münster and for the merger of the district was promoted to the then fourth-class national league.

In the first season as SCR, the team became national league champions in 1972, five points ahead of SG Eintracht Rheine . Two years later, SC Recklinghausen secured the championship in the Bundesliga season 1 with one point ahead of SC Herford and met TuS Neuenrade in the finals of the Westphalia Championship . The Neuenrader prevailed in the first leg on their own place 3-0, while the Recklinghäuser did not get more than 2-2 in the second leg. Thus, the Westphalian championship, which was sportingly worthless due to the lack of promotion, went to Neuenrade.

There followed three years of relegation battle before the SCR missed qualification for the newly created Oberliga Westfalen in 1978 as eleventh in the table . Two years later, the team was runner-up behind Hammer SpVg due to the better goal difference compared to BV Bad Lippspringe and SC Oberbecksen . In the following season 1980/81 the SCR fell back into mediocrity. At the same time, local rivals Eintracht rose from the league. The SCR and Eintracht then merged to form 1. FC Recklinghausen , whose main stadium was the Hohenhorst stadium , which was built in 1977 as the successor to the Viktoria-Kampfbahn . Since, however, large parts of the SC officials, especially in the youth sector, did not agree with the merger, a large number of players and coaches switched to the relatively young football department of PSV Recklinghausen , which made the Hibernia arena a PSV venue.

In 1996 1. FC had to file for bankruptcy and was dissolved. The successor club is FC 96 Recklinghausen .
