The SV Union Salzgitter is a German sports club from Salzgitter .
history
On February 17, 1920, SV Union Salzgitter was founded as a football club in the “Zur Börse” inn. The still young sports club found its first sports facility in 1921 in an open space on Schlingelahweg in the south of Salzgitter-Bad. In the following years other departments were added, for example the athletics department or the handball and martial arts players who are no longer organized in the SV Union. After the Second World War , the SV Union was re-established together with other clubs under the name Sportfreunde Salzgitter, but soon many members left the club to revive their parent clubs from before the war.
In the early days of the Federal Republic of Germany, the SV Union was closely linked to mining in the city of Salzgitter, so it could justifiably be described as a workers' association. Due to the increasing sporting success of the club, it was imperative that the SV Union received a new, larger facility. In 1958, the construction of the Union Stadium began, which to this day stands at the upper end of Friedrich-Ebert-Straße. The unofficial attendance record is said to have been achieved in one of the footballer's promotion games to the 2nd Bundesliga and is about 7,000 spectators.
At the same time as the footballers were relegated to sport, major financial problems shook the club, which almost went bankrupt in 1980 and had to sell its stadium to the city of Salzgitter. In the anniversary year 2010, however, the club as a whole can look back on a positive development in recent years: in 2001 they built a new club house on their own. On September 15, 2017, the entire association brought out its own sticker album. All of the club's players and officials are shown on over 381 stickers, from the Bambinis to the old men.

history
The first team of SV Union reached the NFV championship twice in 1957 and 1973. From 1973 to 1984, the soccer players of SV Union Salzgitter played in the Oberliga Nord soccer league . In the DFB-Pokal 1975/76 and 1981/82 they reached the second main round, in which they lost 3-2 against Holstein Kiel and 4-0 against Hamburger SV. National football players also emerged from the SV Union's players. One of the most famous is Wolfgang Dremmler , who is now a sports scout at Bayern Munich .
The SVU footballers achieved their first major success after World War II when they won the district championship in the 1946/47 season. Then things went steadily upwards for the club from the Stahlstadt: With the championship title in the amateur league 4 in 1953, the SV Union established itself as one of the most successful amateur teams in Lower Saxony. In 1957, the club achieved its first major success. Under coach Ernst Krafcyk, a Salzgitter football legend, the Lower Saxony championship was won with a 2-1 win over VfB Oldenburg.
In 1966, the club's A-youth achieved perhaps the greatest success of the SV Union's football division, when they won the North German championship with a 3-2 win over Hamburger SV. This team also formed the framework of the so successful Union troupe, which rose to the amateur league in 1974 and held there until 1983. SV Union Salzgitter occupies tenth place in the all-time ranking of the (amateur) Oberliga Nord.
The sporting decline in the 1980s had various reasons: On the one hand, the youth work that had been so successful to date was no longer sufficiently advanced, on the other hand, the increasing commercialization of amateur football brought financial problems that could not be dealt with. In 1995, after a decade full of relegation struggles and relegations, they only found themselves in the Braunschweig regional league . After a few years at the district level, the traditional club even crashed into the district league in the 2003/04 season.
After the promotion to the district league in the 2007/08 season, the football department made a change and relied more and more on players from their own youth who can identify with their SV Union. The first team has played in the Braunschweig 3 district league since 2008.
Personalities
Youth football
Since the 2007/08 season, the SV Union Salzgitter club has been cooperating with the SC grid in the youth sector. Both clubs see great opportunities in a close cooperation. The teams all run under the name SC U SalzGitter. With 17 youth teams, the SC U is the largest youth department in Salzgitter and is represented at the district level from the D youth on.
Cone department
The bowling department of SV Union Salzgitter was founded on December 9, 1966. The club's first bowling team consisted almost entirely of former bowlers from a leisure club in Ohlendorf, who were now actively playing in Goslar . From 1967, two men's teams and one women's team took part in the point game operation. A youth department was founded in 1968.
In 1974, a Kegler-Leistungs-Gemschaft (KLG) was founded together with other bowling clubs. Within this community, the SV Union Salzgitter team also achieved some of their greatest successes. In addition to several district and state championship titles, 15 German youth championship titles as well as several second and third placements in team and individual disciplines were achieved. The women's team was third in the German championship and the men fourth in the German club cup. Senior B reached a German championship and came third twice. In 1989 the KLG was expanded and from it the Sport Bowlers Association Salzgitter (SKV).
Subsequently, the first men's team rose to the second Bundesliga several times, but found it difficult to hold onto. Today the team plays in the association league.
