SK Admira Vienna

The sports club Admira ( lat. Admire) was an Austrian football club from the Vienna district of Jedlesee . It was created in 1905 through the merger of the two football clubs "Burschenschaft Einigkeit" and "Sportklub Vindobona", with its history going back to 1897. The club existed until the merger in 1971 with the Meidlinger Sportclub Wacker Wien to form FC Admira / Wacker , the legal successor of both clubs. The club colors of Admira Vienna were black and white, the home games were played in what was then the Leopold-Stroh-Stadion on Hopfengasse , which still exists today and is used by Floridsdorfer AC .

In 50 years of membership in the first division, Admira was eight times champion; most of the titles fell in the period from 1927 to 1939, the "golden era" of the club. Admira reached the climax of the club's history in 1934, when they became champions, won the cup final against Rapid Vienna 8-0 and reached the final in the Mitropapokal , the forerunner of today's European Cup.

history

1897–1905: The beginnings of football in Jedlesee

On November 15, 1894, for the first time in Austria between Vienna and Cricketer, a football game according to the rules of the English Football Association was played. Just three years later, football had also found its way into the still agricultural Groß-Floridsdorf district of Jedlesee in the northeast of Vienna . The first football club in the village was the SK Sturm, which was founded in 1897 by Josef Schmidt . A few months later, Donaufelder athletes founded a second club in Jedlesee, but finding a name at the first club meeting turned out to be difficult. Finally, the suggestion of a man who returned from America was very well received. He had returned to Jedlesee and crossed the Atlantic on the ship “Admira”. The first team in the history of the Admirans were Franz Scheppe, Heinrich Feld, Franz Hansal, Karl Brückl, Georg Lang, Tram Gromann, Heinrich Rottogiero, Johann Reschberger, Karl Walsek, Johann Pohl and Karl Frank .

Founding team of the 'new' Admira

Soon the “Sturm” people, who dissolved their club, also joined the “Admirans”: Sturm had played his games on the Geyerwiese until then, but was forced to take this step due to the constant flooding by the Danube. But the Danube also made it difficult for the Admirans on Heimplatz in Kirchenlacke, so that Admira had to stop playing a few years later. In the meantime, there were already two other clubs in Jedlesee: the “Burschenschaft Einigkeit” and the “Vindobona” sports club. On October 1, 1905, the two merged and - in memory of the association that had just been dissolved - took the name Admira, with its full name: “1. Groß-Floridsdorfer SK Admira ”. After a short time after the city of Groß-Floridsdorf, which, due to its rapid population growth, had ambitions for the new Lower Austrian provincial capital, became the first Viennese district north of the Danube, people almost exclusively spoke of SK Admira Vienna. The first chairman of the new Admira was Friedrich Geyer . The team consisted of Richard Grill , Johann Gehr , Josef Geyer , Georg Wiche , Ferdinand Frank , Johann Rehor , Hans Kammerer , Johann Summer , Johann Wiesner and Josef Buchmann . Games were still played in the Kirchenlacke, and the Blauensteiner inn served as the first club seat.

1906–1919: Promotion to the first division club

The first victory, which is described as meaningful in the Admira Chronicle, came in a six-man tournament on the Korneuburg Radrennbahn in 1906, where they won first place in front of several major Viennese clubs. Another milestone in the club's early history was the construction of its own flood-proof area in Jedlesee. In 1909 the new Admira sports field was finally opened next to the Pollack & Sons factory in Deublergasse. By 1911, the black and whites were able to work their way up to the 2nd grade in the championship, but an administrative error brought a serious setback in the club's history. Without the permission of the association, the Jedleseer competed against clubs from Bratislava and were promptly excluded. At first they joined other non-association associations who tried to found a counter-association, but soon returned to the ÖFV, which, however, meant a new beginning in the 4th grade.

When the Austrian football championship 1911/12 was held for the first time, Admira was now in the lowest division. However, the club was significantly stronger than its competitors and made it from the 4th to the 2nd level in the first two championship seasons. The championship in 1911/12 was won with a goal difference of 122: 8, that in the 3rd class in 1912/13 with 88:12. The upward trend of the black and white also continued during the First World War , although nine players of the combat team were called up as soldiers right at the beginning of the war. In 1914 they had become second class runner- up behind SC Wacker Wien , and in 1915 the Jedleseer were already able to celebrate winning the second division championship. Since the relegation and promotion was suspended during the First World War, the Admira initially remained in the second class. After the end of the war, in the game year 1919 , they finally managed to rise to the top class together with Vienna , although this was also accompanied by a little fortunate circumstances. The Vienna was already established as the second division champions several rounds before the end of the championship, whereupon their pursuers spared themselves in the last games. After the end of the season, however, the association announced that this year for the first time two clubs will be promoted.

1920–1928: The first title win and debut in the Mitropacup

In the first years of the first class, the Admirans were still fighting to stay in the league. In 1920 the Jedleseer took the last place in the championship, only escaping relegation thanks to the increase in the league. In 1921 the black and white ended the season tied with relegated Vienna AC , this time the better goal difference saved the Admira. After these two turbulent years, the Jedleseer were able to establish themselves in the top Austrian league and caused a sensation for the first time with 3rd place behind Rapid and Amateure in 1923 . During this time, the district derbies with the Floridsdorfer AC , the champions of 1918, who now had to fight for supremacy in Floridsdorf for the first time, developed into the season highlights . The Admirans achieved their first major success in 1927 , when they surprisingly won the championship title. The season was initially dominated by the newcomer BAC and his Franz Köhler, who was already celebrated as a sensational goalie in the Austrian press . In 23 championship games, Köhler could only be defeated 19 times. For a long time, the newcomer was in the lead of the standings, only in the last championship rounds he was overtaken by Admira.

The two opponents met on the last day of the match, Admira had 34 points and BAC 33 points. The season-defining game took place on the BAC court, which was sold out with 20,000 spectators. The match preoccupied the media for days before it finally became one of the greatest successes in the club's black and white history. The Admira attack Sigl - Klima - Stoiber - Schall - Runge was able to defeat Köhler five times, Admira won 5-0 and became Austrian champion for the first time, the BAC only runner-up. Toni Schall was also Austria's top scorer for the first time. In the same year, the black and white reached the cup semi-finals for the third time in their history. If they clearly failed so far because of the big clubs, they lost 6-0 to WAC in 1922 and Vienna 1: 4 in 1926 , this time the Admira only narrowly missed the possible double win . The first semi-final game against Rapid Vienna ended 2: 2 after extra time, only a penalty shortly before the end of the game saved the Hütteldorfer the replay, which was lost 3: 4. As the Austrian champion, Admira was also entitled to take part in the Mitropacup, the forerunner of the European Cup. In the very first round, however, the Jedleseer faced a very difficult opponent with Prague's Sparta . In Prague they lost 1: 5, but in Vienna Admira was also 5: 1 ahead after 60 minutes and thus equalized the first leg result. The race to catch up in front of the enthusiastic audience was draining, however, so that the Prague team were able to score two more goals to make it 3: 5 and thus clinched the overall victory.

1927–1934: Promotion to the top European club

In the following season 1927/28 the Admira could get the double for the first time . The championship was won relatively safely ahead of Rapid Vienna, Toni Schall set a new goal record with 36 goals in just 26 games. In the cup final on May 19, 1927 on the Hohe Warte, the black and whites defeated the WAC 2-1. Ignaz Sigl and Franz Runge could each defeat the goalkeeper of the Prater people Rudi Hiden once. The Admirans received powerful support from numerous Rapid fans during their game in the cup final, because Admira's double win enabled the runner-up Rapid to take part in the Mitropacup. While the Rapidler reached the final this season, the Jedleseer made it to the semi-finals, having previously defeated Slavia Prague in a tough battle (6: 4 overall). However , the Admirans could not prevail against the eventual winner Ferencvárosi TC . From 1928 to 1931, the Jedleseern finally succeeded in becoming runner-up three times in a row, with Anton Schall becoming the top scorer in Austria two more times. In the cup, Admira had to admit defeat Rapid 3: 4 in extra time, a year later the black-whites lost 3: 3 to Austria after extra time.

Admira made headlines in the record year 1934

After these three years, which had been very unfavorable for Admira, the win of the double was again recorded in 1932 . The championship could be decided by a 4: 1 success at the big district rivals Floridsdorfer AC in the last round on June 12th before Vienna , already two weeks before the Jedleseer were successful in the cup. As in 1928, the final opponent was called WAC, but this time Rudi Hiden was defeated six times by the Admira storm; the game ended 6-1. In the Mitropacup, however, the double winners Slavia Prague had to bow 1: 3. The high point of the black and white club history was reached in 1934: champions, cup winners, Mitropacup finals. The highlight of national football in 1934 was the cup final against the then ten-time champions Rapid Wien. The green-whites were beaten 8-0 - until today no other team has managed to bring the Rapidlern a bigger defeat. In particular, the series of storms by Jedleseer Vogl - Hahnemann - Stoiber - Schall - Vogl as well as the so-called triangle game with Hanreiter and Urbanek made a "huge impression" on contemporaries like Ernst Ocffekt , as he writes in his car biography. With Peter Platzer , the then strongest Austrian goalkeeper stood in the black and white goal. On the way to the final, Napoli and Sparta Prague were defeated first. In the semifinals, the black and whites met the Italian series champion Juventus Turin , whose players Orsi , Combi , Bertolini , Ferrari and Monti had won the 1934 World Championship final against Czechoslovakia just a few weeks earlier . The game in the Prater Stadium ended 3: 1 for the Jedleseer, after a 1: 2 in the Stadio Luigi Ferraris the club was in the final of the Mitropa Cup. However, the final should only take place two months after the semifinals, in the next season. The Admira, meanwhile out of shape, was defeated by FC Bologna in the Mitropacup final with an overall result of 4: 7.

1935–1945: End of the golden era and crash during National Socialism

After the great successes of 1934, Admira was initially unable to defend its title. Behind the outstanding Rapid, which remained completely undefeated in the championship, only the runner-up title remained. In the Mitropacup the end came in the round of 16 against MTK Hungária Budapest . A year later, the Jedleseer were back at the top of the table and were Austrian champions for the fifth time. Willy Hahnemann was also Austria's top scorer. In the Mitropapokal in 1936, however, came the early end for the black and white, who failed to Prostějov . In 1937 the championship title was successfully defended, in the entire season there was only one defeat and this against the relegation candidate FavAC . However, three years after reaching the finals in 1934, the Admirans again ensured a sense of achievement in the Mitropapokal. Sparta Prague were defeated 2-0 after a 1-1 and 2-2 playoff in neutral Budapest, so that the team advanced to the quarter-finals. It was there that the Admira became the undoing of political events for the first time. After the first leg in Vienna against Genova 1893 FBC (2: 2), which opened the game with the fascist salute, there was a violent demonstration among the Viennese audience, the Admira was excluded from the Mitropa Cup under Italian pressure, but Genoa was also not allowed in Continue playing the competition. More far-reaching were the effects on the Admira after the annexation of Austria by the German Reich on March 12, 1938. The club was able to initially keep still in the lead, was in 1939 for the time being the last time Austrian champion (or in the former parlance winner of the "ostmärkischen Gauliga" ). As "Ostmarkmeister" the Admirans were allowed to take part in the final round of the German championship, with the Admirans playing through to the finals.

In the final there was a clash with FC Schalke 04 . As the most successful “old German” club in Austria, the club was particularly unpopular at the time, and three players were also connected to the NSDAP . The pillars of the Schalke team at that time, Fritz Szepan and Ernst Kuzorra , were members of the NSDAP and support the party's calls for elections. The match, led by referee Schulz, developed into a scandalous game: three Admirans were excluded, the game ended 0: 9. After Szepan had ridiculed Admira, he was struck down by Klacl with the heel of his chin, which resulted in a lifelong ban. In order to smooth things over a little, the parties finally agreed on a “reconciliation game”. On November 17, 1940, Schalke 04 finally made a guest appearance in Vienna, the Dresden referee Schulz was again scheduled for the game. Admira took the lead 1-0, two more clear hits were denied by the referee. After the 1-1 draw shortly before the end of the game, the field was stormed by 50,000 spectators, the referee was attacked, the Schalke team bus destroyed and all the tires in Gauleiter Baldur von Schirach's car were punctured. In the time that followed, the Admira could not prevent almost the entire team from being successively sent to the front as soldiers. In 1943, the club finally descended for the first time in its history, but not in a sporting way, because it was transferred to 2nd class in favor of the SG Reichsbahn . At the end of the war, the club was able to regain promotion in the relegation games, but at that time, Paul Giesser, was only one player from the championship team from 1939, at that time still a substitute, in the squad. After Admira had lost almost its entire team in this short time, the connection to the glorious 1930s after the end of the war should no longer succeed.

1945–1960: middle class and up to the commitment of NEWAG

In the first post-war season, the Admira again had to fight for survival. The Jedleseer finished tied with relegated Helfort , but the better goal difference saved them from relegation. The decision to remain in the league was only made on the last day of the match: Admira beat SC Rapid Oberlaa 8-0, while Helfort lost 2-1 to Austria. In the following seasons, Admira managed to increasingly establish itself again in the middle of the table. The connection to the glorious "golden era" was sought in vain. The greatest success of the first post-war years was the entry into the Vienna Cup final in 1948, with the quarter-final clash with the sports club in particular turning into a thriller. The first match ended 2-2 after extra time, a replay was scheduled. Again there was a 2-2 after extra time, again there was a replay. Ultimately, the Jedleseer were able to assert themselves in the third game with the Sport-Club 2: 1 and defeat Vienna with the same result in the Cup semi-finals. In the final in front of 30,000 spectators in the Prater Stadium, however, it was 2-1 in favor of Vienna Austria. The then star of the Jedleseer scored for Admira: Erich Habitzl , top scorer in 1949. The best championship result of this era was third place behind Rapid and Austria in 1948/49 , although this, like the cup final, could not be repeated in the following years.

In 1951 there was a merger with the Railway Sports Association (ESV) Vienna without taking over its football department. From then on, Admira played in the first division under the name ESV Admira Wien, but it never managed to get beyond 5th place in the following years, but the Admirans never performed worse than tenth place. The only exception was the year 1959 , when the club came into relegation difficulties for the first time and had only three points ahead of the relegated Kapfenberger SV in the final account as twelfth . Since the cup has now been abolished, no successes could be recorded there either. The club did not have the money to buy good players, they had to be content almost exclusively with their own young players, which meant that it was not possible to play for the championship title. The negative high point of this decade was the year 1960 , when the Jedleseer had to relegate to the Regionalliga Ost for one year with only 3 wins , but clearly managed to get up there again. In the meantime , a financially strong sponsor had been found in NEWAG / NIOGAS, the predecessor of the Lower Austrian energy supplier EVN , who was willing to invest a lot in the Vienna football club. When the sponsor joined in 1960, the association changed its name to ESV Admira-NÖ Energie Wien ; In the media, the abbreviation Admira Energie was used in general .

1960–1971: last title and emigration to Südstadt

Heir to the Viennese Admira - a new Lower Austrian association

Admira was soon able to ensure the successes desired by the new sponsor. In 1964 the club reached an Austrian cup final for the first time in 30 years. In the Prater Stadium, the Admira-Elf faced Wiener Austria and won the game 1-0 thanks to a goal from Walter Stamm . In order to also be successful in the championship, the wishes of the coach Hans Pesser were generously fulfilled by the sponsor, in 1964/65 finally only one point was missing to win the title. The transfer of the Yugoslav goalkeeper Dragomir Vukićević , who conceded only 14 goals in 25 games in the 1966 championship, proved to be a stroke of luck . In the cup, he played four games without conceding a single goal. Before the cup final and the last round of the championship, “Vuki” was injured and substitute goalie Johann Draxelmayer had to step in. In the final against Rapid Vienna, he also did not concede a goal, for Admira Burli Herzog scored 1-0 against the later club of his son . In the championship, the Jedleseer were also able to win their last game against Austria in front of 15,000 spectators and thus get the double for the fourth time in the club's history.

After the successful year 1966, the Jedleseers became Südstädter. The sponsor NEWAG / NIOGAS had decided to relocate the association from the north of Vienna to Maria Enzersdorf in Lower Austria in the south of the city. The sponsor himself was located in this location, and he had the new Admira Stadium in Südstadt built on the neighboring property. This obviously happened to the displeasure of the fans. After the sponsor suddenly reduced its cash payments after internal financial scandals, the then third most successful football club in Austria was about to end, but was finally able to come to an agreement with NEWAG / NIOGAS. Nevertheless, the association started looking for a merger partner, in particular holding talks with Vienna Austria. After two attempts to merge to form the Admira-Austria club failed, Wacker Vienna was finally approached, with whom the 1971 merger to FC Admira / Wacker took place. The new club became the legal successor to both Admira and Wacker, and can boast the titles of both clubs.

Admira played the first games on the Kirchenlacke, basically a simple meadow in the Floridsdorfer Schwarzlackenau , part of the floodplain of Vienna. The old Admira had already played her soccer matches there, and the new club also had to share its place with several other clubs, including SC Columbia XXI . The Kirchenlacke, which is often flooded by the Danube, was the home of the association from 1905 to 1909, which was finally able to acquire a flood-proof site next to the Pollack & Sons cotton dye works in Deublergasse, which was built in 1898 . In the Deublergasse was played from 1909 to 1933, it was already a place with small wooden grandstands. In the club history of Admira you can read that “all players and officials consider it a point of honor to make their place in their free time with their hands on shine”.

After the space in Deublergasse had become too small for the meanwhile multiple master from Jedlesee, the club took over the sports field of Viktoria XXI in Hopfengasse in 1933 and expanded it into a stadium. The old place in Deublergasse was sold to the district rival Floridsdorfer AC . Although the black and whites had found a suitable sports ground in Hopfengasse, important games were mostly played in the Prater Stadium or on the Hohe Warte . The club played until the construction of the new Südstadt stadium in Maria Enzersdorf in Hopfengasse, but after moving out in 1966, the club again handed over the stadium to Floridsdorfer AC, which still plays its home games there today. Admira first moved to the stadium of the city of Mödling , home of VfB Mödling , for the autumn season 1966 , because the new Südstadt stadium was only completed with a delay. Today it is used by Admira's successor VfB Admira Wacker Mödling and has a capacity of 12,000. The complete construction could never be realized after the withdrawal of NEWAG / NIOGAS as sponsor, until today the planned grandstands behind the gates are missing.

Known players

In the course of its history, Admira had produced numerous Austrian national players. Together with the FAC, the club benefited from its location in the middle of the working-class district of Floridsdorf, where football became the favorite occupation of street children in the interwar period. By 1937, almost every fourth national player in Austria (160) was born in Floridsdorf (36), a statistic that the only favorites (31) could keep up with. In the position of goalkeeper, Friedrich Franzl , Rudolf Zöhrer and Peter Platzer were the respective Austrian national goalkeepers during the successful 20s and 30s. The greatest celebrity of the three achieved Peter Platzer, who took part for Austria in the 1934 World Cup (semi-finals). He is described as elegant and sure of the catch and, as Zöhrer's successor, was poached by the district rival FAC. As a defender at Admira in the early days, Toni Janda stood out in particular , who was known for his speed and good header game. In the midfield of Admira, Hans Urbanek , was another World Cup participant from 1934, who was considered a tireless worker on the pitch.

The highlight of the successful era of Jedleseer, however, was the storm line. The first star striker was the big-boned "burger master" Sigl , who was particularly known for his shooting power. He was supported by Klima , who was replaced by Willy Hahnemann after he left for France . Karl Stoiber was used as a center forward, but the showpiece of the Admira attack was the left wing. The five-time top scorer Toni Schall and Adi Vogl played on it . The two were also used in this formation as a left storm duo in the Austrian wonder team, their interaction became famous in particular through Willy Schmieger's radio commentary in the game of the century against England in 1932 ("Schall zu Vogl, Vogl zu Schall - Tor!"). After the end of the Second World War , the Admira was able to produce a few famous players, despite a lack of national success. The defender Karl Kowanz , as well as the strikers Erich Habitzl and Erich Probst became known . The latter became famous at his later club Rapid and with 6 goals was vice scorer of the 1954 World Cup, in which the Austrian national team reached 3rd place. The last star striker from the ranks of the black and whites was Willy Kreuz , who was the top scorer in the year before the merger with Wacker.

Honors

At the beginning of the 1990s, at the suggestion of the Floridsdorf District Council, the Vienna City Council decided to name several streets in the Floridsdorf district of Großjedlersdorf after former national football players of the FAC and Admira. As a result of this decision, which is unique in Austria, a small quarter has been created that only contains street names that are intended to honor former footballers.

Fans and their "botanists"

The Admira received the greatest audience popularity in Austria during its golden era in the 1930s. In particular, the Admira storm contributed significantly to the popularity of the club. Up to 45,000 spectators attended the Mitropacup games, while Admira's Cup triumph over Rapid saw 32,000 spectators. The Jedleseer was nicknamed “The Botanists” by the followers during this period. The name came about during a trip to the Netherlands , when the team visited a greenhouse and was introduced to each individual plant in detail. Ignaz Sigl , the Admirans' right-wing winger at the time, acknowledged every statement by the Dutchman with a Viennese "Dös know eh", whereupon he was seriously asked by the presenting gardener whether he was a botanist . Sigl's answer “Well, owa a Jedleseer” met with little understanding from the gardener; the entire team is said to have burst out laughing and to have given their teammate the name "botanist" for weeks. Gradually, this name spread to the entire club and was only forgotten again after the merger with Wacker. After the end of the Second World War, the average attendance fell due to the mediocre results of the team, settling at around 5,000 at home games. When they emigrated to the southern part of the city, it was not possible to take enough “old fans” with them from the north to the south of Vienna. There were also too few “new fans” for the “newcomers”.

Other sports

In the course of the club's history there were also other teams in other sports that competed under the name "SK Admira Vienna". These were mostly independent clubs with no closer connection to the football sections. First of all, the women's handball club Union Admira Landhaus should be mentioned. The nine-time Austrian champion was transferred to SC Landhaus as early as 1968 , but still bears the name Admira to this day. The male basketball players who became Austria's second champion in 1949 were also able to enter their names in the annals .
