history

The roots of SV Victoria can be found in a youth club of the St. Paul community in Cologne. After a dispute, SV Victoria was founded on May 15, 1911. In 1920 the Bayenthaler SV split off. At the same time, SV Victoria rose to the top division, but had to relegate immediately after a league reform. It was not until 1922 that the club established itself in the first class, but did not get beyond mediocrity or relegation battle.

In 1927, the second relegation from the top division followed, before the team continued to play in the second class district class from 1933 . In 1941 they were promoted to the Gauliga and qualified for the Tschammer Cup , in which the team failed in the first round at Fortuna Düsseldorf . After a fifth place in the promotion season 1941/42, Victoria became champions a year later and qualified for the German soccer championship . With a 2-0 win at TuS Neuendorf , they made it into the round of 16, in which the Cologne team lost 5-0 to later runner-up FV Saarbrücken .

After the Second World War , SV Victoria missed the Rhine District League introduced in 1947 . On February 21, 1948, it merged with Bayenthaler SV and the Sparkassen-Verein Köln, founded in 1927, to form SC Fortuna Köln .
