The SG Castrop (complete: Sportgemeinschaft 1902 Castrop-Rauxel eV ) is a football club from Castrop-Rauxel . The 1st team plays in the 2019/20 season in the district league and the 2nd team in the district league B as well as the women's team. The club also has twelve youth teams in age groups A to G and has a small gymnastics department in addition to football . A total of around 350 members play sports under the SG umbrella. The club had its most successful sporting period in the 1960s to the early 1970s, when they played a total of six seasons in the third-class amateur league Westphalia.
Predecessor clubs
The club emerged in 1962 from a merger of the two clubs SV Castrop 02 and SG Erin 11.
SV Castrop 02
The "bourgeois" SV Castrop 02 was the oldest club in town and became a member of the West German Game Association early on . As usual for a sports club at the time, the range of physical activity was broad. In addition to athletics , tennis and bowling were also practiced. In the late 20s Castrop 02 was a first division club. They played Ruhrbezirksliga (which today corresponds roughly to the regional league in terms of catchment area) and in 1927/28 they were 2nd behind FC Schalke 04 in this league . The construction of the urban stadium, which the 02er used as their home ground, also fell during this period. At the same time, with Karl Burger as a former national player, they provided the services of an honorary coach. After relegation to the 2nd district class in 1933 and a time at the second or third division level in the 30s, promotion to the district league was achieved in 1948 and promotion to the regional league two years later in 1950. In 1955, the two local rivals Arminia Ickern and VfB Habinghorst co-founded the new association league . They played here until 1960 when they were relegated to the national league.
SG Erin 11
The other branch of the association, SG Erin 11, was founded in 1911 as Germania Obercastrop. In 1920 the name was changed to BV Obercastrop 11. BV 11 also played in the Ruhr district league for a year - in 1931/32 together with the 02ern - but was mostly in the 2nd or 3rd league between the world wars. In 1936 the name was changed to SG Erin 11. This also reflected the fact that the association was in fact intertwined with the Erin mine in the immediate vicinity . At this point at the latest, the club became a multi-discipline club. In 1948/49, the first team rose to the district league, to which it belonged until the merger in 1962.
After the union
In the second year after the merger, SG Castrop was promoted to the Association League, the highest amateur league. This one belonged to the 1968/69 season when one was relegated to the state league. After two years, he was promoted to the association league, which he only belonged to for one year. This was followed by four years of the Landesliga von (1971/72 to 1975/76) and 19 years of the Bezirksliga (1976/77 to 1995/96). After an interlude in the district league A in the 1996/97 and 1997/98 seasons, the fall followed in the district league B. It was not until the 2007/08 season that they made promotion to the district league A. After being able to establish themselves there over several years , also achieved promotion to the district league in the 2016/17 season. The era of the best SG Castrops youth teams, which lasted until the late 80s, fell in the 1970s with continuous youth work. On the other hand, more and more departments ( athletics , handball , canoeing , judo ) split from the overpowering football division and joined other clubs or became independent, so that the club is now almost a single-branch club.
Sports fields
The club has its domicile in the stadium on Bahnhofstrasse, which was renovated in 2007 and equipped with an artificial turf pitch . He has been using this since the construction in 1926. Before that, a place at the sawmill on Bladenhorster Strasse was used. BV Castrop 11 played on a place at the Bresser economy on Cottenburgstraße until 1936. In 1936 the BV 11 moved to the Erin-Kampfbahn, a former gymnasium. Until 2004 this place was used by the youth department of the SG, which left this place when Wacker Obercastrop moved .
