history

The historical association

→ Main article : SV Atlas Delmenhorst (1973)

The historical club SV Atlas Delmenhorst was created on July 13, 1973 through the merger of the clubs SSV Delmenhorst , Roland Delmenhorst and VSK Bungerhof . With financial support from the construction machinery manufacturer Atlas Weyhausen , the new club signed numerous ex-professionals and rose from the fifth-rate association league to the third-rate Oberliga Nord in a short time . The sporting highlight was fourth place in the 1979/80 season. After several years of sporting stagnation, the Delmenhorsters played again in the third-class Regionalliga Nord from 1995 to 1998 , before the main sponsor Weyhausen got into financial difficulties and stopped the financial contributions. On October 7, 1999, the club was renamed the Delmenhorster Sportclub . Three years later, Delmenhorster SC had to file for bankruptcy and was dissolved.

In order to take up the youth department of Delmenhorster SC , Eintracht Delmenhorst was founded under the chairmanship of Werner Birnstiel. The club played from 2003 in the district league Oldenburg-Land, where the team failed several times in promotion to the district league . After some sponsors turned away from the club in 2008 , Eintracht initially withdrew their team to the 1st district class before the club could no longer provide a team from 2009 onwards. Tammo Renken, who has played for Delmenhorster Eintracht since he was 18, was striving to be renamed SV Atlas Delmenhorst back in 2005. This idea fell on deaf ears with the board and the other departments of the association. Since a start-up would have required a start in the lowest division with a high degree of probability and would therefore have been of no interest to potential newcomers, Renken and his colleagues also thought about taking over one of the other smaller Delmenhorst clubs and renaming it.

However, when it was clear in 2009 that the Delmenhorster Eintracht football division would be dissolved, this paved the way for his project. Tammo Renken was able to convince Bastian Fuhrken in particular of his idea and so they approached the 1st chairman of Eintracht to make them the offer to put a team on their feet for the 2010/11 season if they wanted to rename the club would open. Birnstiel agreed, but the project failed at the general meeting in 2011. One vote was missing to rename the association.

Today's club

Rebuilding (2012 to 2017)

On April 4, 2012, the SV Atlas was re-established in the Jan Harpstedt restaurant and took over the outsourced football ball department of Eintracht. So that all positions in the association could be filled at all, the founders of the association got someone from the counter to get the seven people they needed, recalls initiator Tammo Renken. Bastian Fuhrken pointed out that some people wanted to prevent the association from being re-established. In order not to be dependent on just one overpowering patron like the predecessor association, those responsible first went looking for sponsors and built a pool of medium-sized companies from Delmenhorst. In the early days, there was great skepticism about the new club, especially among the other clubs in the city. Sometimes the new Atlas founders were ridiculed and the new association was only given two years of life.

The first game in the club's history was a friendly against the second team of VfB Oldenburg , which attracted 1200 spectators to the stadium. For the 2012/13 season, the new SV Atlas took over the place of Eintracht in the 1st district class Oldenburg-Land and immediately made it to the district league as runner-up behind Rot-Weiß Hürriyet Delmenhorst . There, the Delmenhorsters became vice-champions behind TSV Ganderkesee . In the following round of promotion, Delmenhorst first defeated TuS Ofen from Bad Zwischenahn 6-1 and then won 3-0 against Frisia Wilhelmshaven on June 14, 2014 in the Wilhelmshaven Jadestadion . With that the SV Atlas made the march into the district league perfect.

The Delmenhorsters also played for the championship in the district league. On the last day of the match, SV Atlas had to go to VfL Wittekind Wildeshausen , which was one point ahead. Delmenhorst took the lead in the 74th minute, but had to accept the equalizer six minutes later and finally became runner-up. With 4,000 spectators in the Wildeshauser Stadium, a new German record was set for a district league game. In the following 2015/16 season, the team was able to make their promotion to the Landesliga Weser / Ems four match days before the end of the season with a 5-0 win against GVO Oldenburg . Dominik Entelmann was the league's top scorer with 29 goals , while Iman Bi-Ria was third with 25 goals this season.

In the 2016/17 season, the first half of the season was in the upper midfield of the Landesliga Weser / Ems . But in the second half of the season the SV Atlas increased and played for the championship. On the last day of the match, the decision was made in favor of Delmenhorster, who defeated the already established relegated VfL Wittekind Wildeshausen with 5: 1 in front of 1,500 spectators. Atlas benefited from the simultaneous 3: 3 of the direct competitor Blau-Weiß Lohne at SV Bad Rothenfelde . With the fourth promotion in five years, the new SV Atlas reached the Lower Saxony Oberliga and thus exceeded the goal set when the company was founded of reaching the state league within five years.

Senior league years (2017 to 2020)

The club experienced growth limits in the 2017/18 league season . After a good first half of the season, in which SVG Göttingen 07 was beaten 9-2, the team got into a relegation battle in the second half of the season. Only on the penultimate match day could relegation be secured after a 5-0 win at SVG Göttingen 07. In the following season 2018/19 , Atlas finished fourth in mid-November, but surprisingly parted ways with coach Jürgen Hahn. His successor was Olaf Blancke, who led the team into the final of the Lower Saxony Cup of Amateurs. Nevertheless, the club split from the coach on May 10, 2019 for sporting reasons. Daniel von Seggern took over the coaching position on an interim basis and won the Lower Saxony Amateurs Cup, which was played for the first time with SV Atlas, with a 3-2 final victory over TuS Bersenbrück .

By winning the national cup, SV Atlas took part in the 2019/20 DFB Cup . There the team met Bundesliga club Werder Bremen in the first round and lost 6-1. Tom Schmidt scored the consolation goal for Delmenhorst. The game was played because of the larger capacity in the Bremen Weser Stadium, for which an exemption from the DFB was necessary. 41,500 spectators meant a new attendance record for a first round game in the DFB Cup with the participation of an amateur team. The 2019/20 league season has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic . As runner-up behind VfV 06 Hildesheim , SV Atlas rose directly to the regional league following a decision by the North German Football Association.

Stadion

→ Main article : Municipal stadium on Düsternortstrasse

Municipal stadium on Düsternortstrasse

The soccer team plays its home games in the municipal stadium on Düsternortstraße . The stadium has a capacity for around 12,000 spectators, including 900 seats. The sports park was built during the Second World War and was reopened in 1951 after being destroyed during the war. The main stand dates from 1976. In the mid-1990s, the stadium served as a backdrop in an episode of the ARD series Not from Bad Parents . Nowadays, in addition to Atlas, SV Tur Abdin Delmenhorst , KSV Hicretsport Delmenhorst and Rot-Weiß Hürriyet Delmenhorst use the sports grounds.

Fans

Similar to the historical association, the newly founded SV Atlas Delmenhorst has an above-average number of fans. In the 2016/17 national league season, an average of 948 spectators saw the club's home games. This meant that the Delmenhorsters had an average that was more than twice as high as the champions of the Lower Saxony Oberliga in the 2016/17 season, SSV Jeddeloh . The audience record was achieved by the Delmenhorsters in the 2016/17 state league season, when 2200 people watched the home game against Kickers Emden . The fans of SV Atlas are breaking new ground in their support, including taking on player sponsorships. The geographical proximity to the Bundesliga club Werder Bremen is seen as problematic . Games scheduled at the same time would cost the SVA up to 250 viewers.

On November 4, 2014, Block H, the first Atlas fan club, was founded . Despite certain similarities such as B. uniform black clothing, the members of Block H distance themselves from the ultra-movement . With increasing success in the first district league year, the fan group Block M was founded . In July 2015, some of the fans split off from Block H and founded the Blau-Gelb Reloaded (BGR) fan club . The split was based on differing views on the nature of the support. While Blau-Gelb-Reloaded does not want to have any fan rivalries, the fans of Block H kickers see Emden and VfB Oldenburg as rivals.

In September 2016, there were riots at the Atlas game at Kickers Emden, in which supporters from other clubs were also involved. The supporters of SV Atlas Delmenhorst liable nor the hooligan and Nazi - reputation on from the 1990s.

Atlas Museum

The Atlas Museum was opened in summer 2017 . The museum was initiated by Kevin Drewes, whose father Bert was already a fan of the historical association. Over the years Bert Drewes had compiled over 1,500 exhibits , from jerseys to game announcements to fan merchandise, and stored them in the attic of his house for years. The museum is located in the living room of Kevin Drewe's apartment and is approximately 25 square meters. Kevin Drewes invested around 100 working hours in setting up the Atlas Museum. A special exhibit of the museum is the jersey of Vincent Stumpe from SV Bad Rothenfelde, whose two goals against Blau-Weiß Lohne made the promotion of SV Atlas Delmenhorst into the league in 2017 possible in the first place. In return, Stumpe received an Atlas jersey.

More teams

The second team of SV Atlas Delmenhorst has been competing in the Weser / Ems regional league since its promotion in 2020. In addition, the club provides a senior senior team in the over 40 age group. In April 2019, SV Atlas and Delmenhorster TB founded the JSG Delmenhorst youth game community . On April 1, 2020, the youth game community JFV Delmenhorst was founded, to which, in addition to the SV Atlas, the Delmenhorster TB and the TuS Heidkrug also belonged. In June 2020, TV Jahn Delmenhorst joined the syndicate.
