history

Parent club Cuxhavener SV

→ Main article: Cuxhavener SV

On August 4, 1911, the Marine Sports Club Cuxhaven was founded, which in 1917 reached the finals for the North German Championship. After the end of the First World War , the club called itself SV Cuxhaven , which played in the first-class Weser / Jade district league in the early 1920s . Board quarrels brought the end for SV Cuxhaven in 1924. Cuxhavener SV was founded as the successor . After the reintroduction of compulsory military service in 1935, the CSV came back sportily when numerous marines came to the city. In 1937 the German Naval Championship was won. Six years later, the team rose to the Gauliga Osthannover . The later national player Ottmar Walter played for the CSV at this time. In 1944, the team made it to the North German Cup final, which was lost 3-1 to LSV Hamburg.

After the Second World War , the CSV was one of the founding members of the Amateur Oberliga West in 1949 , in which the team came third in 1952. After many years in the secure midfield, the CSV surprisingly rose in 1959. In 1962 and 1963, the team failed in the promotion round and in 1964 was classified in the fourth-class Verbandsliga Nord . Two years later, the CSV rose from this. After a four-year return to the association league between 1969 and 1973, the CSV qualified for the DFB Cup in 1975 . The first round match at SV Chio Waldhof was lost 3-1.

In 1977 and 1978, the CSV knocked once again on the door of the Lower Saxon House of Lords as runner-up, before the team had to be relegated to the district level in 1982. In 1987, the team returned for a year in the fifth-class Landesliga West before the merger came in 1990.

Parent club Eintracht Cuxhaven

→ Main article: Eintracht Cuxhaven

On March 14, 1909, the Free Turnerschaft Cuxhaven was founded, a year later a football department was created. In 1933 the association was banned and dissolved by the National Socialists as a member of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association . In October 1945, former members founded the Free Turnerschaft together with the SV North Sea Cuxhaven to VfL Cuxhaven , of the on 11 October 1949 swimming and sports community Cuxhaven for railroader sports club Eintracht Cuxhaven merged.

In 1950, Eintracht was one of the founding members of the third-class amateur league Cuxhaven / Rotenburg . After the team failed in the promotion round in 1958, Eintracht made it to the amateur league Lower Saxony-West a year later . As the last beaten off, the direct relegation followed. In 1964, the team qualified for the newly created Verbandsliga Nord . Three relegations in a row between 1966 and 1968 pushed Eintracht into the district league.

The leadership of Eintracht campaigned most strongly for the merger of CSV, Eintracht and Brockeswalder SV. Since not all members agreed to the merger, some former Eintracht members founded FC Eintracht Cuxhaven 01 on February 17, 2001 , which will compete in the Lüneburg regional league from 2012 after six promotions in ten years.

Main club Brockeswalder SV

The Brockeswalder Sportverein was founded in 1933 when dissatisfied members of the CSV split off and founded their own club. Insignificant before the Second World War, the team made it to the third-rate amateur league Cuxhaven / Rotenburg in 1951 and ended a season before Eintracht for the first time in 1954. After a temporary relegation in 1959, the BSV returned three years later and qualified in 1964 for the newly created Verbandsliga Nord .

In 1966, the BSV took over the local leadership role after both the CSV and Eintracht had to relegate to the district league. Three years later, the team secured relegation only after a decider win over Rot-Weiß Scheeßel , before the BSV had to relegate in 1970 as bottom of the table. Until the merger with CSV and Eintracht, the club never got beyond the district level.

Rot-Weiss Cuxhaven

Rot-Weiss Cuxhaven started playing in the Lüneburg regional league in 1990 and was relegated to the regional class three years later. A new sporting boom began with the establishment of a support group. In 2003 Rot-Weiss rose again to the Lüneburg regional league and in 2007 was runner-up there behind Rotenburger SV . With two points behind a non-relegation place, the Cuxhaven had to leave the Lower Saxony League East again.

Again as runner-up, this time behind the SV Ahlerstedt / Ottendorf , the immediate promotion was achieved. As fourth in the table, the Red-Whites had to relegate immediately again this time. The reason for this was a league reform that made a single-track Oberliga Niedersachsen out of a two-track league . In 2012, he was relegated to the district league again. Four years later, the Cuxhaven team was relegated, but remained in the district league through the merger of VfL Stade with TuS Güldenstern Stade .

Sports field "arena"

The main square of the SV is the "Kampfbahn" sports field, built in 1950. It was created from the remains of an old marine sports field. It has a main stand with seating for around 750 people. Standing steps have been built to the left and right of the main stand. In the past, the square (grandstand, railing, club room etc.) was kept in the style of the club colors of the CSV green and white. After the merger to form SV Rot-Weiss, that changed according to the name.

Sports field on Strichweg

The substitute teams from SV Rot-Weiss usually play on the sports field on Strichweg today. The pitch is rather unpopular for football due to its focus on athletics. Usually there are only three standing steps for spectators. The EWE Athletics , a track and field event that takes place every year in Cuxhaven , is an exception . A provisional grandstand is built for this each time. A driveway behind the stadium leads directly to the dike. If you go on this, you can see the landmark of Cuxhaven, the Kugelbake , in the near distance .

Jahnsportplatz

The third sports field, used today by FC Eintracht and the second team from Rot Weiss Cuxhaven (team made up mainly of Spanish citizens), sets the record for the soccer game in Cuxhaven : The aforementioned game against HSV 1946. Today there are two sports fields (Jahnplatz I and Jahnplatz II). There used to be a wooden grandstand there, which allowed the audience of 6,000. In the meantime there are only a few standing steps on the “island” that separates the two squares and stands on the poplars .

Brockeswalde sports field

This place was opened in 1928. The A-Youth and B-Youth teams are currently playing their games there.
