The sports association Weisenau-Mainz (short: SV Weisenau , also SVW Mainz ) is a football club from the Mainz district of Weisenau .
family tree
The SVW (Sportvereinigung Weisenau) Mainz was created through the merger of the two Weisenau clubs SC Olympia 1910 Weisenau and VfR 1911 Weisenau . The foundation date of the association is therefore the spring of 1910, according to the foundation date of the older of the two merger associations. After the unsuccessful attempt was made in 1920 to merge the Olympia and VfR clubs, the merger finally came about in 1933 (General Assembly September 11, 1933) under the name Sportvereinigung Mainz-Weisenau . After the dissolution at the end of the Second World War, the association was re-established with the approval of January 30, 1946 by the French military government in the constituent general assembly on February 9, 1946 (first general assembly after the war).
The Turnverein 1846 Weisenau (TVW) and the Athlete Club 1904/20 Weisenau (ACW) joined on August 17, 1946. Initially, both clubs did not receive any “re-establishment” approval. The club was then called SpVgg 1846 Mainz-Weisenau. The athletes club left on November 10, 1949 and the gymnastics club on March 31, 1951 and the club was then again called the Mainz-Weisenau Sports Association. In 1967 the club name Sportvereinigung Weisenau-Mainz e. V. In: short form SVW Mainz , introduced.
In addition to football (active, youth, women and old men), the club's sporting offerings currently include table tennis (since 1948), bowling (1966), tennis (1973) and popular sports (1990).
Sporting development
After the merger of the two clubs Olympia and VfR in 1933 to form the Mainz-Weisenau sports association , the sporting breakthrough initially failed to materialize. There was a first major success in 1943, when they became champions in the district class and then failed in the Gauliga promotion round to Wormatia Worms . After the war, the club won the district championship in 1947; the championship won in 1948 in the then regional league Rheinhessen meant promotion to the top division, the zone league group north, from which they relegated in 1950 due to the reduction of the newly created Oberliga Südwest to 14 clubs. 1951 succeeded as master of the regional league Rheinhessen / Nahe the direct rise. However, already in 1952 the relegation followed, another year later you had to leave the newly created 2nd Contract League Southwest.
But as early as 1954 , the rise from the 1st Amateur League Southwest to the so-called 2nd Contract Players League, in which they played until 1958, succeeded. In that year the club rose to the top German league at the time, the 1st contract player class, in which one could stay for a year. At that time, the home games were attended by up to 7,000 spectators.
The club then stayed in the second division until 1963 and, after the introduction of the Bundesliga, was accepted into the second highest German division (Regionalliga Südwest), in which participation in the promotion games to the Bundesliga was only just missed in the 1966/67 season . They finished third in the table at the end of the season, three points behind runner-up 1. FC Saarbrücken , who was allowed to take part in the Bundesliga promotion round, and before their big neighbor 1. FSV Mainz 05 , who only scored one point against the Weisenauer this season and finished fourth.
In 1970, the SVW rose to the 1st Amateur League Southwest from 1974 you had to leave the highest amateur league. With the introduction of the 2nd Bundesliga in the 1974/75 season, the amateur classes were also restructured. The trip to the district class was short-lived, because after the end of the season the Weisenau footballers were champions and thus back in the amateur upper house. In 1977 , however, one had to say goodbye to the then district class, from which, however, in 1978 one rose as a champion in the newly founded Association League Southwest. In 1980 he was relegated from the association league, which he returned to in 1982 for a year.
In the years 1983 to 1990 the SVW played in the district league Rheinhessen, from which they were promoted to the state league in 1991. Until the 1999 season you belonged to this division and knocked several times on the door to the next higher division. In 2000 the SVW rose from the district league. At the end of the 2008/09 season, he was promoted to the Landesliga Ost of the Southwest German Football Association . In the 2016/17 season, he was relegated to the Rheinhessen district league again.
SVW Mainz also pays great attention to your youth work. In 2008, 13 youth teams took part in the game. In the past numerous (also national) titles have been won. In the 2008/09 season, the C-youth rose to the highest German division, the C-junior regional league .

Oddities
In 1973 the SVW agreed a friendly against a recreational team from Wolverhampton, England, in the firm belief that it was the great Wolverhampton Wanderers , then fifth in the English league. The English had once again assumed that they would play against another leisure team and were only puzzled when they saw the Weisenau stadium and heard of the high bonus. The game ended 20-0 for the Weisenauer.
