The SpVgg Gifhorn is a sports club from Gifhorn . The first soccer team played for a year in the highest amateur league in Lower Saxony.

history

The Gifhorn Sports Association was created on September 29, 1912 through the merger of FC Merkur Gifhorn and FC Germania Gifhorn . Mercury was founded in 1910 by young merchants and trainee teachers founded and was the first football club was founded in Gifhorn. Up until the Second World War , the team mostly played in the second-highest division and in the 1930s missed the promotion round to the Lower Saxony Gauliga several times .

After the war ended in 1948, he was promoted to the then second-class Braunschweig regional league . With only three wins of the season, the Gifhorner had to leave the league as the last and were passed into the district league in the 1949/50 season. In 1953 the team was one of the founding members of the third-rate amateur league 7 . In the first season the best place was achieved with fourth place. In 1960 the sports association descended.

The immediate resurgence succeeded and the SpVgg held up to the dissolution of the amateur league in 1964 in this division. However, qualification for the newly created Association League East was missed and the sports association slipped down to the district class. On the last day of the 1967/68 season, the team lost to local rivals MTV Gifhorn , who rose to the district league. SpVgg became champions of the Gifhorn district league in the 2010/11 season and now plays in the Braunschweig 1 district league .
