SC Wacker Vienna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The sports club Wacker was an Austrian football club from the Vienna district of Obermeidling . It was created between 1906 and 1908 on the initiative of the pupil Max Freund and existed until the merger in 1971 with the Jedleseer Sportklub SK Admira Vienna to form FC Admira / Wacker , the legal successor of both clubs. The club colors of Wacker Vienna were black and white, the home games were played in the 20,000-seat stadium on Rosasgasse ( Wackerplatz ) in the immediate vicinity of Schönbrunn Palace .

In 53 years of membership in the first division, the Meidlinger Buam won 478 games. The club reached the climax of the club's history in 1947, when the club became champions and won the cup final against Vienna Austria 4-3. The greatest success at an international tournament came in 1951 with the entry into the Mitropacup finals . Nevertheless, Wacker became famous as the “eternal runner-up” in the league. If you add the shortened championship of 1945, Wacker finished second eight times at the end of the season, but only once first.

history

1906–1912: The first years of the Meidlinger Buam

The oldest known picture of a Wacker team, soon after joining the ÖFV in 1909

The SC Wacker Wien goes back to the football-loving student Max Freund from Meidling. He was a member of the youth soccer team of the Vienna AC , but soon tired of the expensive and long journeys from Meidling to training in the Prater . Together with his friend Oskar Wittek , Max gathered numerous students with whom the two regularly met to play football next to the Meidlinger slaughterhouse . In 1906, Max Freund finally suggested founding his own football club called “Wacker”, but this proud project failed due to the fact that there was no adult among the future black and white people who could have registered the club with the police. This problem was put aside for the time being, the football-playing friends initially devoted themselves to the search for their own clubhouse and to procuring their own club kits. A clubhouse with the laundry room at Aichholzgasse 33, where the Wacker players could now store all their belongings including goal bars, was quickly found. The students also managed to persuade a mother to have black and white dresses made for the entire team. The club colors resulted from the fact that the majority of the young athletes wore black cloth trousers and a white oar body when playing football.

In 1907, the necessary adult for the post of chairman of the association was finally found in Mr. Rudolf Krones , so that the formal founding of Wacker Vienna could be initiated. The innkeeper Nitsch provided his own sports field in the form of a sand pit, which first had to be leveled by the club members and then prepared for the 1909 debut game against ASV Hertha Wien . The first game on their own ground ended with a 1: 3 defeat against the guests from favorites . In the same year, the Wacker players got their newly founded club accepted into the Austrian Football Association . Having started in the third and thus lowest class, Wacker was able to make it unbeaten in the second class "2nd class" against clubs that are largely unknown today. Class A ”play. Here the Meidlingers met the very strong teams from Blue Star, Red Star , the Viennese movement players , Donaustadt , the Nussdorfer AC , Ober St. Veit and the Hernalser Sportfreunde. The black and whites were able to keep up well with their new competitors in the first year, and in the second second division season 1911/12 they had already won the championship. With Franz Twaroch , the Meidlingers also had their first “star” and crowd favorite in the team, who was even used for the Austrian national team, which had existed since 1902 - as the first player in a second division club.

1912–1934: Up and down in the championship

Wacker received its traditional logo in the 1920s, although originally the colors black and white were still interchanged.

In order to be promoted to the first division, the black and whites had to play a relegation game against the penultimate of the first division, SpC Rudolfshügel . The Wacker players went into the game with great respect for the Rudolfshüglern and clearly lost 6-0. But just one season later, Wacker was again at the top of the table in the second division and now challenged Hertha Vienna in the relegation. The results against the favorites were 0: 2 and 2: 2, Wacker had again missed promotion to the first division. With an impressive goal difference of 102:15, the Meidlingers secured the second division championship for the third time in a row in 1914. In this year, the relegation games were also abolished at the request of Vienna , with the Döblinger surprisingly had to relegate themselves at the end of the season. Wacker was definitely first class. However, the First World War soon overshadowed the joy of advancing to the highest level. Almost all of Wacker's crew were called up as soldiers, and about half did not return. The club did not play a major role in the war championships. In his first season as a first division club, Wacker could only win a single game, but relegation was suspended during the war. Although the club finished last in the table in the first post-war season in 1919, the club escaped relegation by increasing the league. The rapidly growing popularity of the club in Meidling soon made it necessary to build a new, larger stadium. On October 8, 1921, the stadium on Rosagasse , which held 20,000 spectators, was finally opened with a championship game.

Wacker fans were able to celebrate their first major success a short time later. With a sensational 4: 2 victory over Rapid Vienna , the Meidlingers moved into the cup final in 1923, in which they were defeated 1: 3 by the Viennese sports club in front of 20,000 visitors on the Hohe Warte . Feigl played for Wacker back then , Kolndorfer and Huber as backs, Klicka , Resch and Pellet in the halves row and Liebhardt , goal scorer Kowanda , Wana , Röscher and Stach as strikers. In the championship, the Wacker players fought well for decades in midfield, but were never able to intervene in the fight for the title. The season highlights were mostly individual games in which one could trip the big clubs. In 1924 professional play was introduced in Austria, that is, the championship became a professional league. A seventh place in the first professional year followed with a ninth and eighth further places in the lower half of the table. The engagement of famous coaches with Rigo Kuthan and Jenő Konrád also showed no fruit for the time being. In 1928, however, the club was able to start with a remarkable 4-1 victory over record champions Rapid and finally set up a temporary club record with 4th place in the table. The away win on June 11, 1929 against the then European top club Slavia Prague with 3-0 under coach Ferdinand Feigl , who was still in goal at the Cup final in 1923, is recorded as particularly valuable in the Wacker chronicle. After this short flight, he soon returned to mid-table positions. At that time, Meidlingers played predominantly in the Wackers team, and they mostly remained loyal to the club throughout their careers. It was thanks to exceptional players like Karl Zischek , who, despite their great successes in the national team, always stayed with the small district club as a player, that he could always stay away from the relegation battle. So went the right wing of the miracle team , Zischek, as well as Hans Walzhofer the 1934 World Cup in Italy, reached the semifinals in Austria, in the championship, the two in 1934 but had to settle for 9th place and were so well never inserts in international Mitropacup .

1934–1947: Promotion, World War II and double win

The rise to the national top club began in the late 30s. In the twentieth year as a first division club, the Meidlingers were able to equalize their provisionally best championship result of 1928 with fourth place. Far better placements should follow in the following years. The club was able to confirm its upward trend with two further fourth ranks in 1937 and 1938. After the annexation of Austria by the German Reich on March 12, 1938, the professional national league, which was "unworthy of a German man", was replaced by the amateur championship in Gauliga XVII. Under the new adverse circumstances, the club was able to hold its own for the time being. In the 1938/39 season, Wacker was able to challenge the then series champion Admira Wien for the first time under coach Otto Haftl . The club temporarily climbed to the top of the standings and faced the Admira in the Praterstadion on March 19, the decider for the title in a direct duel. The Meidlingers lost 2: 4 in front of 38,000 spectators, but were runner-up for the first time in the club's history. In the following years, 1940 and 1941, the black and white runners-up were also able to become runners-up, failing in both cases because of Rapid, which thanks to Franz Binder were able to play a comfortable lead. The club had bad luck in the 1939 DFB Cup . Wacker made it to the semi-finals of the German Cup, where the team met SV Waldhof Mannheim . The first game in Mannheim ended 1-1 after extra time. The playoff in Vienna ended with 2-2 after extra time, another playoff in a neutral place in Munich ended 0-0 after extra time. So they agreed on a drawing of lots that decided in favor of Mannheim. The Meidlingers were eliminated from the competition undefeated. The club suffered more and more from the consequences of the Second World War . Many players were lost to the war, including national goalie Alexander Martinek , and Wacker national player Josef Pekarek lost a leg. The stadium was devastated by bombs. So the club was confronted with the relegation battle in 1944, but was able to win the relegation game against the SG Reichsbahn just 2-1. For the spring championship in 1945, the club had to cancel all games.

One week before Germany surrendered, football was played again on May 1, 1945 at Wacker-Platz. During a May celebration of the Soviet occupation forces, the Meidlingers met a selection eleven from the Viennese Czechs (8-0). Reinforced by the two newcomers Marischka and Hahnemann from Admira, the black and whites took third place in the first Austrian post-war championship in 1945/46. The arrival of the two Admira veterans, which clearly influenced the history of the club, was due to a curious circumstance of the time. In Vienna , which was divided into four, Admira-Platz was on the Russian side, Wacker-Platz was in British territory, where Marischka and Hahnemann also lived. In order to be able to continue to train regularly, the two came to Wacker. In 1947 the club history of the Meidlinger district club finally reached its climax. In the championship, the then three-time runner-up was mostly in first place, this time mastering the decider against the Wiener Sport-Club on June 8, 1947 with a 4-0 victory - double goalscorer Turl Wagner . Wacker was champion, just three weeks later the Meidlingers faced Vienna Austria in the cup final on June 29th , and this decisive match was far more dramatic. Thanks to Wacker’s top scorer in 1942, Ernst Reitermaier , the Meidlingers were able to take the lead, but Pepi Stroh soon compensated for the violets. After Hahnemann brought the Meidlinger into the lead once more, this again moved to Austria just minutes later thanks to a double from Dolfi Huber . Finally, a further goal each from Reitermeier and Hahnemann in the last minutes of the game achieved the final score of 4: 3 in favor of Wacker in front of 35,000 spectators in the Prater Stadium . The trophy was then presented to the winning team by Chancellor Leopold Figl . For Wacker, in addition to the two double goal scorers , Pelikan , as Backs Virius and Marischka , appeared in the halves row Macho , Hanappi and Brinek , whereby the only 17-year-old center half Gerhard Hanappi was particularly praised in the daily press, as was also in Sturm Licker , Kalcik and Strobl.

1948–1956: Vice-title in championship and centropacup

After winning the double, the Meidlingers were unable to defend or regain their title. With her new trainer Edi Frühwirth , who brought the World Cup system to Meidling. The championship again developed into a duel with Rapid. Wacker had overtaken the Green-Whites with a 1-0 win over the Sport-Club in the last round of the game, so that they too had to win at least one point in their last game, which took place one day later against Austria. On June 6, 1948, the 45,000 spectators in the Prater Stadium finally included the entire Wacker team and numerous black and white fans. Austria soon took the lead, after 60 minutes it was 2-0 for the violets. But a goal by Knor brought Rapid 1: 2 back, shortly before the end of the game, the referee gave the Rapidler a penalty, Robert Körner kicked and scored, making Rapid the champion and Wacker the runner-up. In addition to these spicy direct and indirect duels, the Wacker legend Gerhard Hanappi switched to Rapid in 1950, and numerous Wacker fans swore "eternal hostility". After a fourth and a third place, Wacker took up the championship again in 1951. With Ernst Bokon , Richard Brousek , Walter Haummer and Turl Wagner , the club had one of the strongest attacks of the season, in total there were exactly 100 goals for the Meidlingers in just 24 games. But once again there was no way around Rapid, who hit the opposing goal 133 times. However, the runner-up title entitled the club to participate in the Centropa Cup , which was an attempt to reintroduce the famous Mitropa Cup from the interwar period. Wacker reached the final, in which they again met league rivals Rapid. In the semifinals, the Yugoslav cup winner Dinamo Zagreb was clearly beaten 4-1. In the final on June 5, 1951 against the Green-Whites, the Wacker players were able to give two lead, but in the end had to admit defeat 2: 3.

The old picture soon came up again in the championship: In 1953 Wacker was runner-up for the sixth time, just one point behind Austria and this time scored 101 goals in just 26 games. The game that decided the championship was in the 24th round on June 7, 1953 in a direct duel between the two title competitors. In front of 45,000 spectators in the Prater Stadium, the Meidlingers could not get beyond a 1-1 draw, a victory would have brought the safe title. In the championship finish, they managed a 7-2 away win against SK Sturm Graz , but Austria outclassed Grazer SC with 12-3. In the same year, Turl Brinek was appointed to the FIFA World Cup, but this meant a move to AS Monaco. In 1954 Wacker finished third, at the World Cup in Switzerland, in which Austria took third place, with Franz Pelikan , Walter Kollmann , Walter Haummer and Turl Wagner , the latter appearing as a three-time goalscorer in the quarter-final against Switzerland . After finishing fourth in 1955, the Meidlingers intervened in the title race for the last time in the 1955/56 season. The Meidlingers led the table for 28 weeks before facing the decision against Austria in the Prater Stadium on the last match day. The strongest competitor this year was again Rapid, but this time they had to hope for a mistake by the Meidlinger. Wacker quickly took the lead in the decisive game against Austria, they lost 3-1. Three poles and a missed penalty made the disappointment even greater - Rapid was champion, Wacker only second for the seventh time. Nevertheless, President Wackers, Alfred Frey, managed to write sports history in that year: On March 18, 1956, he proposed to UEFA that a European Cup Winners' Cup should be introduced, which would ultimately be held from 1960.

1956–1971: relegation battle and merger with Admira

After missing the championship title in 1956, SC Wacker Wien got increasingly into financial difficulties. In the 1957 and 1958 seasons, the club was still in good shape from a sporting point of view with two fourth places, at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden Walter Kollmann and the brothers Ernst and Paul Kozlicek represented the colors of Wackers. But the sporting success soon could not hide the financial problems: In the autumn championship of the 1958/59 season, Pelikan, Hager, Schrottenbaum, Wagner I, Wagner II and Kozlicek II refused to compete in the championship game at the Graz AK . The reason for this was that the club could not pay out bonuses of around 100 schillings for a training match. The strikers were punished severely, but their departure from the club led to a serious sporting weakening. When there was a need, Hahnemann, meanwhile coach of the black and whites, even had to replace himself in a championship game against Vienna . Despite his 45 years of age, however, he also scored a goal in this game. In the "strike season" the club was finally only eighth, in 1961 SC Wacker found itself on a relegation place, although only one point was missing in the final account of the non-relegated SV Schwechat and 1. Simmeringer SC . The decisive game against Vienna in the last round was lost 2-0 in front of 8,000 spectators. The former double winner developed into an elevator team par excellence: After the club's first relegation in its history, the Meidlingers immediately took first place in the second-rate Regionalliga Ost and were promoted back to the state league in 1962. But again one point was missing to keep the league, the decisive away game this time on June 16, 1963 at Red-Star-Platz went 4-2 to the Wiener Sport-Club . A low point of the season, however, was an abandonment of the game on October 7, 1962 in the home match against the Grazer AK when the score was 1: 2 in the 83rd minute of the game because of blatant spectator riots, which resulted in a 0: 3 verification (sources: "Arbeiterzeitung Wien "of October 9, 1962 ff). Another championship title in the Regionalliga Ost 1963/64 brought the return to the Austrian House of Lords, where at the end of the season on June 20, 1965, however, there were already 5 points missing to remain in the top division. The picture for the Meidlingers remained the same: in 1966 again East League champions, relegation again in 1967, but the elimination from the championship, now known as the national league, was extremely dramatic: this time only the poorer goal quotient (28:50) against SK Sturm Graz decided with 18 points each (32:47), although in the final round on June 24, 1967, a 6-1 home win against bottom club SV Kapfenberg and the fact that the Grazer AK won 1-0 in the Graz derby didn't help. - With nine points ahead of the almost obligatory victory in the second division (167/68), Wacker changed the level for the eighth time in the eighth season.

Logo of the new FC Admira / Wacker

This back and forth between two leagues is probably unique in Austrian football history and put the fans' ability to suffer to a severe test. Attendance numbers of up to 12,500 fans in these years were nevertheless only surpassed by a few clubs such as Rapid or LASK. After relegation was successfully prevented for two seasons, Wacker was below the red line for the fifth time in 10 years in 1971. In addition to the sporting and financial problems, there were also difficulties with the stadium in Rosasgasse. The club management decided to merge with Admira Energie from Maria Enzersdorf to form FC Admira / Wacker , which is based in Maria Enzersdorf in Lower Austria, in the Südstadt stadium . This merger was at the end of numerous negotiations with various clubs: Already after relegation in 1966, Wacker should have merged with Schwechater SV and moved to Lower Austria, but this was prevented. The last championship game, not only in the top Austrian league, but forever, Wacker Vienna took place on June 19, 1971 against FC Wacker Innsbruck (2: 4). The last goal for the black and whites was scored by Ernst Dokupil in the 79th minute of the game , making it 2: 4. However, the cameras of the reporters present were primarily aimed at the Innsbruck guests, who, thanks to this victory, became Austrian champions for the first time.

1971–1973: Epilogue in Brunn am Gebirge

If one pursues the second division license of the Viennese Wacker in 1971, it was first given to FC Wacker / Admira, i.e. the second team of the new fusion club FC Admira / Wacker (note the reverse order of the former club names). With a lead over the first relegated ASV Siegendorf, FC Wacker / Admira was able to maintain relegation in the second-class Regionalliga Ost, but the formation of the syndicate with Brunn am Gebirge, called Wacker Brunn, was agreed on July 5, 1972. Brunn am Gebirge thus escaped relegation to the Lower Austrian regional league, but on September 13, 1973 terminated the syndicate, so that the end of an independent 'Wacker' had finally come. In their only season, the syndicate was in 7th place among 14 teams in the regional league.

Stadium and places

The proximity of the Wacker Stadium to the castle gave the team the nickname "Schönbrunner".

The Wacker found its first permanent venue in the "sand pit" of the innkeeper Nitsch. The latter made its economy available to the club as a club room and allowed the club to build a soccer field on the adjacent piece of land in Edelsinnstrasse. In 1909 the debut could be celebrated in a new place, but against Hertha it was a 1: 3 when the place opened. The increasing popularity of Wacker after the end of the First World War meant that the club had to move to larger stadiums more and more often, as otherwise most of the fans would not have been able to participate in the games. The construction of a new stadium was therefore started, which should hold 20,000 spectators. The only unobstructed space in Meidling was the so-called “Wildlife Park” near Schönbrunn, which could be taken over after lengthy negotiations.

The plans for the new stadium were drawn up by Ing. Gold , and the construction work was carried out by Josef Takacs . The grand opening finally took place on October 8, 1921, the stadium on Rosasgasse ultimately had around 17,000 standing and 3,000 seats. The old rival Hertha was invited as the first opponent. However, when the score was 1: 1, the game had to be stopped in the 28th minute due to a severe thunderstorm, so the opening was postponed to the following day, October 9, 1921. The Brno club SK Moravská Slavia was invited, which was beaten 4-2. National player Johann Kowanda , who had already scored the goal against Hertha, scored three goals. The location in the immediate vicinity of Schönbrunn Palace soon gave the black and whites the nickname "Schönbrunners". Wacker stayed in Rosasgasse until the end of 1971, the square still exists today, but no longer the auditorium. As the “Bundesspielplatz Schönbrunn” ( Wackerplatz ) it is available for school sports.

Double '47
30s

In the history of Wackers, three players in particular stood out who had a large share in the successes in the history of Austrian football: Karli Zischek became the Wackers legend of the 1930s . He was active for almost twenty years in the first Wackers, so he also played in the double team in 1947. To this day, the striker is one of the top 10 goalscorers of the national team, he himself achieved fame especially as the right-winger of the wonder team . Turl Wagner followed in his footsteps as a Wacker goalgetter for the 47 team . He made his big appearance in the heat battle of Lausanne , the 1954 World Cup quarter-final against Switzerland, where he scored three goals for Austria. Later they took 3rd place. He is also one of the top 10 goal scorers in the Austrian national team. At that time, however, another Meidlinger soccer player made a name for himself: Gerhard Hanappi . The former Austrian record international player was recognized by the IFFHS as one of the 50 best European football players of the 20th century.

In addition to Karli Zischek, two other Wacker players had a double-digit number of international matches in the inter-war period. One of them was the plump Leopold Resch , who was also in the 1923 cup final. He is described as a player who combined his athletic style of play well with his large radius of action and his sophisticated technique. In addition, the famous striker Hansi Horvath also stopped in Meidling for three seasons in the 1930s. In the post-war championship, in addition to Turl Wagner, Admira-Import Willy Hahnemann made an international contribution to Austria . Wacker player Walter Haummer also made a name for himself in the storm of the national team . Besides Hanappi, Turl Brinek , known for his long-range shots, also shone in midfield . Defender Walter Kollmann made a name for himself thanks to his speed and commitment. The last regular players on the national team that Wacker was able to produce were the brothers Ernst and Paul Kozlicek , who took part in the '58 World Cup together.

Meidling and his Schönbrunners - attempts at revival

For decades, Wacker was Meidling's figurehead and made the "twelfth blow" known nationally. For example, the history of the no longer existing club is still given a lot of space in the Vienna District Museum Meidling, where former players, Ernst Reitermaier, were also involved. Soon after the move and the merger of Wackers, there were several attempts to breathe new life into the club.

The first attempt to re-establish SC Wacker Vienna was made with Wacker 72, but this club only appeared in the Viennese sub-leagues and was incorporated into ASK Liesing . Only a further attempt in the 80s was crowned with temporary success: Under the traditional name Wacker Wien, the new club was able to make headlines at least in the local press. With the endeavors to read the name Wacker again in the results lists of the upper divisions, Wacker Vienna played again in the fourth-class Vienna City League in the 1987/1988 season, taking third place: After a merger with Groß Viktoria to Wacker / Groß Viktoria , one succeeded A year later even promotion to the third-class Regionalliga Ost. But this march happened too quickly; financial problems brought the new Wacker to its knees. Chairman Anton Cupak announced three laps before the end of the championship, despite a good midfield position, that he would voluntarily relegate and part with Viktoria.

In the following, Wacker spent a few years in the fourth-class Vienna City League, even winning the Vienna Football Cup in 1995 , while Gersthofer SV was beaten 4-2 in the final. The strangest chapter in Wacker history certainly followed. After the newly founded club had to stop playing, Wacker Vienna was to continue playing in the small Lower Austrian market town of Lichtenwörth. And in fact, the local ASK Lichtenwörth appeared temporarily as SC Wacker-Wien-Lichtenwörth from November 26, 1999. The last attempt to revive SC Wacker Wien was started in 2005: The newly founded club plays its games under its traditional name on Wiener-Viktoria Platz. In the 2009/10 season, Wacker won the championship title in the lowest Austrian division (3rd class Vienna) and from 2010/11 will play in the second lowest performance level (2nd class Vienna).
