The SV Schwechat is an Austrian football club from the Lower Austrian brewery town Schwechat . The complex and widely ramified history of the club goes back to 1899 on Wiener Landstrasse . From 1960/61 to 1965/66 the club played as 1st Schwechater SC for a total of five seasons in the Austrian State League / National League and was able to defeat Ajax Amsterdam 5-2 in the Rappan Cup in 1963 .

history

ASK Schwechat (1903–1907) and SK Graphia Wien (1899–1907)

The history of Schwechater SV can be traced back to two clubs, SK Graphia Wien and ASK Schwechat. The older of the two clubs, the Graphia, was founded in 1899 and played on Wiener Landstrasse . The club was one of the most successful clubs at the time and played in the Tagblatt Cup 1900/01, the first Austrian championship organized by the ÖFU in the 2nd class. As second at the end of the season, the club rose to the 1st class together with the Hernalser FuAC Vorwärts and was one of the top clubs until the championship in 1904. In the same year the club moved to Margareten in the local cycling track and only one year later moved to Schwechat. The ASK Schwechat was founded on August 22nd, 1903 by the patron Eduard König, whose son, the national player Engelbert König , soon became the first star of the Schwechat. A separate soccer field was opened on September 11, 1904 next to the Kaiser anniversary pool. In the 1906/07 season the two clubs took part in the canceled Austrian championship of the ÖFV and then decided to go together as SC Germania Schwechat.

SC Germania Schwechat (1907–1927)

The SC Germania Schwechat soon developed into a sought-after playing partner for both Viennese and international clubs. On May 9, 1909, the then four-time English champions Sunderland AFC from the "motherland of football" even stopped and won 5-0, befittingly. In the provincial championship of the NFV, which was held for the first time in 1913/14 , Germania Schwechat clearly prevailed in the final with 7: 0 and 2: 2 against 1. Stockerauer Sportvereinigung 07 and thus won their first title. After the end of the First World War, the Schwechater applied to the NFV to participate in the "real championship" with the Viennese clubs and was assigned to the 2nd class. When they first participated in the second division in 1919/20 , Germania took second place behind Wiener Hakoah . In the ÖFB Cup , a 21-0 record victory over SC Tulln was achieved , in which Adi Fischera scored nine times. After a weak spring season in 1920/21 , Kossuth succeeded in signing the goalkeeper of the reigning Hungarian champions MTK .

Germania soon got involved in the promotion to first class, but ultimately failed only after a 0-0 draw against FC Ostmark Wien , only two points behind Brigittenauer. The championship in 1921/22 was even more dramatic . The Schwechater Germania led the table for a long time until they only drew 1: 1 against the Wiener Sportfreunde in the third from last encounter . Ultimately, the WAC was tied for first place ahead of Germania, which now narrowly failed to advance for the third time in a row. Bitter was also added that the sports fans had unjustifiably reinforced themselves with the sports club player Johann Baar , but a protest in this regard was rejected. At this defeat, Germania finally broke up, because several players accepted offers from first-class clubs, which weakened the club significantly. From then on, Germania appears in the lower sections of the second division table, and in 1926/27 they were relegated to third division without being able to win a game. The majority of the players switched to SK Neukettenhof, which is seen more or less as the legitimate successor to Germania Schwechat.

SK Neukettenhof (1927–1934)

The SK Neukettenhof was a VAFÖ club that quickly moved up from 3rd class to 1st class and thus attracted 2,000 spectators a week. With the former Germania players as reinforcement and its own talents like Rudi Viertl , the club was also able to succeed in the northern section of the 1st class in 1933 and thus rise to the VAFÖ league. However, this was dissolved after the autumn season, in which the SK Neukettenhof took sixth place, and its clubs were included in the 2nd class of the ÖFB. In the same year, the club merged with the Amateurs XI from Simmering and returned to the name SC Germania Schwechat.

SC Germania Schwechat and Phönix Schwechat (1934–1945)

In the second league south, the new Schwechat Germania initially achieved good midfield positions, but rose to the third division in 1936/37 . The rise took place in 1942, in the same year Germania reached the semi-finals of the "Ostmark Cup" "- this was introduced as a qualification for the DFB Cup - which went 6-1 to the Vienna AC . The following period was increasingly characterized by the war after the own place was destroyed in a bombing raid in July 1944, the club Phönix Schwechat joined. Phönix Schwechat was the local rival of Germania for a long time and had produced its most famous player with Rudolf Vytlačil . The club was originally one of the strongest teams of the VAFÖ League, had been leader of the league when the championship was canceled in 1934. After the incorporation into the II. League South in 1934/35 under the temporary name ASK Schwechat, the club for the war community with Germania remained at this level of performance and was regularly placed in the midfield.

1. Schwechater SC (1945–1979)

After the end of the Second World War, the former war sports community became the 1. Schwechater SC. Already in the 1946/47 season , the promotion to the first level should almost succeed. Ultimately, only one point was missing from newly promoted SC Rapid Oberlaa , who were three points behind Schwechater SC two game days before the end of the championship. In 1947/48 , too , only one point was missing from second division champions SC lawn player Hochstädt . The reintroduction of professionalism with the state league reform in 1949/50 meant that the blue-whites had to relegate as 5th out of 14 in the third division. In 1953, the Schwechater finished second behind FC Stadlau in the Vienna League, and in 1956 they celebrated first place in front of SC Gaswerk VIII and the associated qualification for the State League B relegation. Schwechat mastered this relegation 4: 2 and 3: 2 against Lower Austrian representative KSV Ortmann and was thus again second class.

Until the dissolution of the State League B in the 1958/59 season , the club achieved most of the good positions in the front midfield, but could not play for promotion. Only in the new Regionalliga Ost , which now formed the second level for clubs from Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland, was Schwechat able to move up to the state league with a 7 point lead. Initially still playing against relegation, the climax was reached with fourth place in 1963/64 . Up to 11,000 visitors flocked to Rannersdorf for games against big teams like Rapid , which had already been beaten 3-2 in the debut season. The club also celebrated a sensational success internationally in the Rappan Cup , when the defending champions Ajax Amsterdam were beaten 5-2 on June 27, 1963 , but Schwechat itself then narrowly lost to IFK Norrköping and Tasmania Berlin . The Schwechat team these days consisted of Robert Dienst , Friedrich Kominek and Herbert Grohs, on the one hand, of well-known veterans, supplemented by young players such as Johann Frank , who soon made the leap into the national team themselves . For financial reasons, however, the club sought a syndicate with Wiener Austria , after this failed in 1966, the Schwechater were without a first division place and had - more or less voluntarily - relegated to the Regionalliga Ost.

The immediate resurgence in 1966/67 was missed with only one point behind SC Eisenstadt , but great successes could be celebrated in the ÖFB Cup . Schwechat reached the semi-finals via Deutschlandsberger SC , SC Wacker Wien and a 5-0 victory over SV Austria Salzburg , where they had to admit defeat to LASK with the same result away . Also in the 1968/69 season it was only enough to finish second behind First Vienna FC 1894 . There followed a few top places in the regional league, due to the Bundesliga reform in 1973/74 the club had to be relegated to the third division, which in turn was formed by the degraded Regionalliga Ost, but was replaced by the Vienna league in 1980/81 for Wiener Verein.

SV Schwechat (1979-today)

The 1. Schwechater SC had meanwhile joined the sports association Schwechat on September 1, 1979, so that it was given the new name SV Schwechat, which is still valid today. The club won the Vienna League in 1983, 1984 and 1985; At the beginning he had to admit defeat to SV Neuberg in the relegation and a year later to SV Gablitz on penalties, this was successfully completed in 1985 against VfB Mödling and USV Rudersdorf in the third attempt . So Schwechat played in the 1985/86 season again in the second level, the then 2nd division , but rose again immediately. Since then, the club has been fighting in the reintroduced third-tier Regionalliga Ost for promotion to the second tier. After two second places in 1994 and 1998, the aim was almost achieved in the 2002/03 season . Although SV Schwechat won the Regionalliga Ost and qualified for relegation, in which it failed almost 0-0 and 2-3 against SpG Wattens / Wacker Tirol . The two games had 22,500 spectators. SV Schwechat finished the 2005/06 season on only 13th out of 16. In the 2007/08 season, Schwechat was relegated to the Vienna League after a 1-1 draw on the last match day against VfB Admira Wacker Mödling. In the 2008/09 season, however, succeeded in the immediate return to the Regionalliga Ost.
