history
On 5 April 1923 founded disaffected members of Union 03 Altona the SV West-Eimsbüttel . The team climbed the league ranks every two years and reached the second highest division in 1932. At this time, the team also earned the nickname Wasps . A Hamburg sports journalist came up with the idea to speak of the “Eimsbüttel wasps” instead of the “Eimsbüttelers from the West”. In 1939 the SV West was champion of its district class and reached the promotion round to the Gauliga Nordmark . Both Eimsbütteler, SC Sperber Hamburg and VfB Kiel finished the round with 4: 4 points each. Sparhawk had the best goal quotient of all clubs and reached the Gauliga.
After the Second World War , SV West qualified for the Hamburg City League. As the penultimate, only the bottom Wilhelmsburg 09 could be beaten, the team was relegated. As early as 1947, the wasps returned to the Hamburg upper house to mostly fight against relegation. After the descent in 1950, the direct rise again succeeded. In 1953, SV West finally said goodbye to Hamburg's elite league. Three years later, he was relegated to the district league. Between 1966 and 1968 the wasps returned to the association league and in 1970 they made it to the lowest division.
Since then, the club has placed great emphasis on its youth work and reached the state league again between 1993 and 1998. In 2013, SV West was relegated to the district league. 1986 the B-youth reached the final round of the German championship . After the Wasps had prevailed against Werder Bremen in the round of 16 , they ended in the quarter-finals against TuS Paderborn-Neuhaus .
The "Wasps" have been playing in the Stellinger Stadium on the Sportplatzring since at least the 1970s . In 2010, the club took over its three seats, on which TSV Stellingen 88 was also at home for a long time; however, the complex is to be built on with apartments in the foreseeable future.
