The SV St. Georg from 1895 is a sports club in Hamburg .

history

Founded until World War I

St. Georger FC 1895 was founded on June 3, 1895 . It was created on the left (east) of the Alster from the seminar association Frisch-Auf , from which the following year, on the right of the Alster, the FC Hammonia was founded in 1896 . The club is a founding member of the DFB and the handball Bundesliga . After joining the Hamburg-Altona Football Association , St. Georger FC took part in the 1896/97 season for the first time in its championship, which was only played in one division. St. Georg played his first league game on October 4, 1896 against Hamburger FC 1888 and lost 3-0. In the final table, St. Georg took seventh and penultimate place.

Up to and including the 1912/13 season, St. Georg played in the top division of Hamburg (first class or 1a class), although there was no automatic promotion and relegation to the next lower division during these years. Only through the creation of the North German League for the 1913/14 season, for which you could not qualify as bottom of the table, St. Georg was second class for the first time. With the outbreak of the First World War , the regional league was abolished again after only one season, whereby the Hamburg / Altonaer 1a class regained its old position as the top division.

After the parade ground in Altona and possibly also on the Heiligengeistfeld , St.Georg played his home games in 1903/04 in front of the Lübecker Tor and still had two places on Rönnhaidstraße. A year later, the point games were played in Sierichstraße, from the 1905/06 season on Mühlenkamp and in the following season on Grevenweg. Another move to Schmuckshöhe took place at the latest for the 1908/09 season, and in 1919/20 (or earlier) to the Hornerweg sports field. In the second war season 1915/16, the St. Georger FC became champions for the first time. Two years later the success could be repeated in a war syndicate with the SC Sperber in 1898 .

Between the world wars

After the 1918/19 season the syndicate with Sparrowhawk was dissolved again, but a new association with the Hamburg gymnastics club from 1816 (HT 16) was entered into. Under the name of St. Georg 1816 , she won the championship in the six-track North German League , Staffel Alsterkreis, in the 1921/22 season, and thus participation in the final round of the North German Championship . In 1922 the syndicate was dissolved again with the HT 16. At the same time, it was renamed SpVgg. (SV) St. Georg instead.

Up to and including 1927/28, the SpVgg. St. Georg held themselves in the top division and also took part in the following season in the private round of ten against the existing dilution of the strength of rebellious clubs. After the reform of the top divisions in Northern Germany in the following spring, St. Georg had to relegate for the first time in its club history, as only sixth place in the table had been achieved in 1927/28. Only the first five of both seasons were accepted into the league.

In 1929/30 St. Georg became champion in the district league Hamburg, Alster-Staffel and after only a year of absence rose again to the highest class, which was now called the North German Oberliga Groß-Hamburg. Eighth place in the table in the game year 1932/33 was not enough to qualify for the new Gauliga Nordmark and the second relegation took place in the district class Hamburg, Hansa-Staffel. Only after the outbreak of World War II did St. Georg become first class again, but only because of a renewed war syndicate (KSG) with SC Sperber 1898. After two years in the Gauliga or renamed the division class, the top division took place at the end of the 1940 season / 41 the descent to 1st class Hamburg, Hammonia relay. After just one season, he was immediately promoted to runner-up. In the last war season 1944/45, the KSG Post / BU (KSG of the associations Post SG Hamburg and HSV Barmbeck-Uhlenhorst ) joined, which also changed the name to KSG Alsterdorf , initially called "The Four".

post war period

After the end of the Second World War, qualifying games for the new Hamburg City League took place in autumn 1945 . The SV St. Georg reached only the fifth place in the table, making the club third class for the first time. In June 1946, TS Blau-Weiß 1923 Hamburg joined SV St. Georg. By winning the championship in the A2 relay of the A-class, he was immediately promoted to the 1st class (2nd league), Alster relay. With the creation of the North Football League for the 1947/48 season, SV St. Georg was again third class.

With the achievement of the championship in the then Association League Hamburg , Hammonia-Staffel, and the promotion to Hamburg's highest class, the then regional league began a new successful era in the club's history for a short time. The Hamburg championship was immediately won as a climber in 1966/67, followed by a second place in the table the following year. In 1974 the club missed the qualification for the newly introduced amateur Oberliga Nord and was then only fourth class. With the participation in the 1st main round of the DFB-Pokal 1975/76 another highlight followed. At Bundesliga club Arminia Bielefeld , however, the club retired after a 4-0 defeat.

From the 1977/78 season a downward trend began, which began with relegation from the regional league (renamed Verbandsliga in the following season) to the Hansa-Staffel association league, which was renamed the regional league. Here, too, the SV St. Georg could not hold and rose again as the bottom of the table, now in the district league Staffel Ost and relegated to the district league Staffel 1. 1985/86 was the absolute low and the relegation from the district league Staffel Ost in the district class and thus 8th league only avoided by the fact that this class was abolished and united with the district league.

In 2000, the football section of the SV St. Georg formed by the merger of the football section of the Horner TV of FC St. Georg-Horn , but it was never a club in the legal sense, but a syndicate of football departments of the clubs involved. FC St. Georg-Horn took over the place of Horner TV in the district league (7th division). In 2004/05, thanks to the commitment of some ex-professional players (including Oliver Frederico-Geier, Elard Ostermann ) as champion of the Landesliga Hansa-Staffel , FC St. Georg-Horn was promoted to the Hamburg Association League, which, however, returned after only one season relegation and a financial disaster ended. In spring 2007, the syndicate was dissolved again. The season 2006/07 ended the FC St. Georg-Horn as the bottom of the table in the 6th division with 22: 184 goals and only one win from 34 games.

SV St. Georg today has its own soccer department again and plays in the district class in 2007/08, while Horner TV took the starting place of the community in the district league.

Other departments

The track and field athletes from SV St.Georg were more successful than the footballers. Georg Karl Hein won the gold medal in hammer throw at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin . Even after the Second World War, handball players, basketball players and track and field athletes, who were able to place themselves first-class in the respective leagues and rankings, were more successful than the footballers. In 1966/67 , the handball men were among the founding members of the handball Bundesliga . The athlete Jens Ulbricht won silver at the European Championships in 1966 with the German 4 x 400 meter relay.

basketball

In 1968 the full basketball department of USC Paloma moved to SV St. Georg, including coach Eli Araman , who led St. Georg's men's team to promotion to the basketball league in 1970 . This was the first time that a club from the Hanseatic city was in the highest national German league. Helmut Richter, Peter Heining , Bernd Südkamp and Bernd Lühr were among the top performers of the team, which entered the Bundesliga under Araman's leadership in 1970/71, but missed relegation .
