The sports club Wilhelmshaven Germania 1905 is a football club based in Wilhelmshaven in Lower Saxony , whose roots go back to 1905. The colors of the 400-member club (as of 2008) are yellow and red. Up until the turn of the millennium, the club played other sports in addition to football. The soccer team plays its home games in the municipal Jade Stadium , which opened in 1999 and has a capacity of around 7500 spectators, 2200 of whom are seated. In the 1990/91 season, the club was one of the founding members of the women's Bundesliga , but the team was immediately relegated (→ season details ). The women's department was dissolved in 2000 and reactivated in April 2016. Since the 2017/18 season, a women's team has been participating in the regional league.

Club history

The predecessor clubs

SV Wilhelmshaven was created on July 19, 1972 through the merger of the Wilhelmshaven 05 and Germania Wilhelmshaven clubs . While the 05er was created through numerous merger steps, some club renaming can be found in the history of Germania. The more successful parent club was Wilhelmshaven 05.

Wilhelmshaven 05

The roots of the club, officially known as Spielvereinigung 05 Wilhelmshaven, go back to 1905, when numerous clubs were founded in the city. They included FC Preußen Wilhelmshaven , FC Wilhelmshaven and FC Viktoria Wilhelmshaven , which merged a year later to form FC Germany Wilhelmshaven . Six years later, the Heppensener BSV, founded in 1908, joined. In the spring of 1924, FC Deutschland merged with VfB Wilhelmshaven to form Wilhelmshavener SV 06 . VfB Wilhelmshaven, in turn, was founded in 1907 as Marine SC Wilhelmshaven and ten years later became North German runner-up. In 1919 the name was changed to VfB. On September 25, 1905, the FC Comet Rüstringen was founded , which was renamed SV Comet Rüstringen in 1916 . On June 18, 1921, VfL 05 Rüstringen split off, which in turn merged with Wilhelmshavener SV 06 to form Wilhelmshaven 05 on August 21, 1939.

In terms of sport, the Marine SC, together with the Frisia , the city's oldest club, was one of the strongest teams in the region. In the 1920s, the Wilhelmshaven club was mostly overshadowed by the Bremen clubs Werder and ABTS , later also by the BSV and at times by the VfB Komet . VfB Wilhelmshaven became runner-up in the Weser / Jade district in 1924 and failed in the first round of the North German Championship with 0: 4 to Eintracht Braunschweig .

In 1939 Wilhelmshaven 05 was included in the first-class Lower Saxony Gauliga after three military sports clubs had withdrawn . During the Second World War , guest players such as national player Paul Janes and Karl Barufka came to Wilhelmshaven. In 1943 the 05er champions of the Gauliga Weser-Ems were defeated in the quarterfinals of the German championship with 1: 4 at FC Schalke 04 . In the following season, the Gaumeist title could be defended. In the first round of the German championship , Wilhelmshavener Eintracht Braunschweig defeated 2-1 after extra time . In the round of 16, 05 met the Air Force Sports Club Hamburg . Here the game ended with 1: 1 after extra time. Wilhelmshaven 05, however, had to admit defeat clearly 2: 4 against the eventual runner-up in the decider that was due.

After the Second World War, the association was dissolved in 1945 and only re-established in 1952. In 1963, the 05er were promoted to the second-class amateur league Lower Saxony -West and qualified a year later for the newly created Lower Saxony state league , from which the team was relegated in 1968.

Germania Wilhelmshaven

The history of Germania Wilhelmshaven is far less complicated. The club was founded on March 8, 1893 as the Workers' Gymnastics Club Germania Wilhelmshaven and received a football section in 1911, unusually early for a working class club. This took part in the games of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association (ATSB) and reached the German championship in 1922, where the team failed in the first round at BV Kassel 06 . After the National Socialists came to power , the ATV Germania was banned and re-established as TV Adler Wilhelmshaven .

After the end of the war, TV Adler became TSV Germania Wilhelmshaven , which was promoted to the second-class amateur league Lower Saxony-West in 1957 and competed in this class until the league was dissolved in 1964. In 1966, when he was promoted to the state league, he made another leap into the Lower Saxon upper house before Germania slipped into the district class after three successive relegations.

After the merger

1972 to 1992

At its founding, the SV Wilhelmshaven had more than 3,000 members, was athletic but in the shadow of the subprime Regionalliga Nord gambling TSR Olympia Wilhelmshaven . The SVW did not get beyond midfield positions in what was then the fourth-rate Northern Association League and was relegated to District League 1 in 1977.

In return, the club achieved some successes in the youth field. The A-youth won the North German Cup in 1979. After the young players moved up into the first team, the Wilhelmshavener secured the championship of the Weser / Ems-Nord regional league a year later. In the next season, the team secured the undefeated march into the Landesliga West . The Wilhelmshaven based, however, relied on the help of TuS Haste 01 , who beat SV Bad Bentheim on the last day of the match .

The Wilhelmshavener were able to establish themselves quickly in the Landesliga West and were runner-up behind TuS Lingen in 1984 . Five years later, the SVW met the TSR Olympia for the first time, who had just been relegated twice in a row. While the Olympics were only able to prevent further relegation with difficulty, SV was runner-up behind the amateurs of Hannover 96 . With a 3-2 win over Rot-Weiß Steterburg , they were promoted to the Lower Saxony Association League . Relegation was missed due to the poor goal difference against VfV Hildesheim .

In the meantime, the SVW and Olympia negotiated a possible merger. This failed because those responsible for the Olympics did not agree that the SVW should take over the leadership role in the new club. Finally, both clubs agreed on a five-year collaboration. The first team should compete as Wilhelmshaven 92 , while Olympia withdrew its first team to the 1st district class. After a short time, the team returned as SV Wilhelmshaven and was runner-up in the Landesliga West behind BV Cloppenburg . With a 3-2 win after extra time over SV Südharz , they were promoted again directly.

1992 to 2001

With the engagement of the former Bundesliga coach Wolf Werner , the club caused a stir nationwide. As third in the table, the team moved into the promotion round to Oberliga Nord , but only finished third there. A year later, the team, reinforced by ex-professionals such as Reinhold Tattermusch and Thorsten Schlumberger , became Lower Saxony champions and achieved promotion to the Regionalliga Nord through the league reform.

In the promotion season 1994/95 the SVW reached ninth place. Christian Claaßen , who was the top scorer in the Regionalliga Nord with 26 goals this season, played a major role in the success . Claaßen then moved to Hamburger SV . In the following years, the team did not get beyond midfield positions despite countless coach and player changes. In May 1998, the club had to leave the stadium on Friedenstrasse after the property was designated as building land . Temporarily, the SVW had to compete on the marine sports field on the fortification path.

On August 1, 1999, the Wilhelmshavener finally moved to the newly built Jade Stadium in the Sportforum and caused a sensation with the signing of the Lithuanian national player Valdas Ivanauskas . In fourth place in the table, SVW qualified for the two-track regional league and, with an average of 3,845 spectators, recorded an audience record that is still valid today. There was a lot of unrest behind the scenes during the season. In December 1999 the players complained about outstanding salaries before bankruptcy threatened in the spring of 2000 .

In the meantime, the members of the other departments had founded SV Concordia Wilhelmshaven , while the soccer departments of SVW and Olympia were to merge to form SV Olympia Wilhelmshaven . The members of both associations agreed, but procedural errors were made that led to the association rejecting the merger. At that time the SVW was in debt with around 1.5 million marks , which led the club mainly to "the expensive and unprofitable tennis and squash facility ".

In the 2000/01 season the team reached tenth place despite the adverse conditions, but welcomed an average of 1,200 spectators despite well-known opponents such as Fortuna Düsseldorf and Rot-Weiss Essen . The club was only able to submit the documents required for the license to the DFB five minutes before the deadline . Since the fax machine was blocked, the last page only reached the DFB headquarters in Frankfurt am Main after the deadline , whereupon the SVW was refused the license. Years later, however, the then chairman of the association, Hans Bösken, admitted that the fax machine had no problem. According to Bösken, the reason for the delayed fax was that board members, sponsors and business representatives had debated too long about the guarantee of DM 500,000 required by the DFB .

2001 to 2014

After the forced relegation, the SVW belonged to the top teams of the Oberliga Niedersachsen-Bremen , but without seriously playing for the championship. From the 2002/03 season the club was financially supported by the delicatessen dealer Albert Sprehe, who had previously tried in vain with BV Cloppenburg and VfB Oldenburg to advance to professional football. As third in the 2003/04 season, the Wilhelmshaven qualified for the re-introduced single-track Oberliga Nord. In the 2004/05 season the SVW played for the championship for a long time before a 0-1 defeat at HSV Barmbek-Uhlenhorst led to the preliminary decision for the eventual champions Kickers Emden . A year later , the team secured the championship and promotion to the Regionalliga Nord.

Here, however, the Wilhelmshaven had no chance and were relegated to the league as bottom of the table. For this, the team won the Lower Saxony Cup for the first time . There it was in the 2007/08 season to qualify for the newly created three-track regional league. As third in the table behind Holstein Kiel and Altona 93 , the qualification succeeded. In the regional league it has so far only been enough for midfield positions or a relegation battle. In 2010, the team won the Lower Saxony Cup again with a 6: 4 win on penalties against VfL Osnabrück . After regular playing time it was 2-2.

Due to a lack of training compensation in connection with the former player Sergio Sagarzazu , SVW was deducted six points in the 2011/12 season by a decision by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee. The association questioned the legality of the compensation and took legal action against the claims. Since no agreement could be reached by the beginning of the 2012/13 season, SV Wilhelmshaven was again deducted six points for the same outstanding compensation payments. In the 2012/13 season , SV Wilhelmshaven was tenth due to the deduction of points, among other things, and would have been relegated to the sixth-class Landesliga Weser / Ems , as the club had not applied for a license for the Oberliga Niedersachsen . Remaining in the Regionalliga Nord was only achieved because Holstein Kiel was able to prevail and rose as the champion of the Regionalliga Nord in the promotion games to the 3rd division.

On June 19, 2013 Farat Toku were introduced as the new coach and Reinhold Fanz as the new sporting director. Both previously worked in the coaching team of Wuppertaler SV . On November 8, 2013 it was announced that SV Wilhelmshaven had to be relegated at the end of the 2013/14 season. The reason is the non-payment of training compensation for Sergio Sagarzazu at his former clubs Atlético River Plate and Atlético Excursionistas . According to the German Football Association (DFB), this decision by the world association FIFA is final. The International Sports Court (CAS) also confirmed the judgment, according to a DFB announcement. The German umbrella association has transferred the “mandatory enforcement” of this judgment to the North German Football Association (NFV). SV Wilhelmshaven took action against the FIFA decision, but failed at the Bremen Regional Court , which confirmed the forced relegation.

Since 2014

Since SV Wilhelmshaven was not granted a license for the Lower Saxony Oberliga for economic reasons, the club started in the sixth-class Landesliga Weser-Ems in the 2014/15 season. On December 30, 2014, the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Bremen upheld a lawsuit by the club against the North German Football Association , which, on instructions from FIFA, had ordered the Wilhelmshaven residents to be relegated. Failure to pay training compensation is not enough for such a measure, according to the written judgment. In terms of sport, the club's decline continued and led the Wilhelmshavener to relegation to the district league in 2016.

On September 20, 2016, the Federal Court of Justice ruled that the forced relegation was not justified due to the lack of regulations in the club statutes of the North German Football Association. The club tried to reintegrate into the regional league and compensation, but the DFB and NFV refused, so that SV Wilhelmshaven filed a lawsuit at the Bremen Regional Court on January 18, 2017 . The district court rejected the lawsuit in April 2018 because "the SVW could not prove that it would have managed to stay in the league without relegation." This judgment was first confirmed by the Bremen Higher Regional Court and later by the Federal Court of Justice.

The SVW in the DFB Cup

SV Wilhelmshaven has qualified five times for the DFB Cup . When they first participated in 1980, the team was eliminated in the first round after a 4-1 defeat at Bundesliga club VfL Bochum . It wasn't until 2007 that SVW qualified for the second time and lost 4-0 against 1. FC Kaiserslautern in Round 1. In 2010 they were also defeated in the first round and also 0-4 to Eintracht Frankfurt . Two years later, FC Augsburg won the first round game in Wilhelmshaven relatively happily with 2-0. The SVW took part for the fifth time in 2013 . The first round opponent in the sold-out stadium was the Champions League finalist Borussia Dortmund , who won 0-0 for 70 minutes but lost 3-0 in the end.

Stages

The Jadestadion during a U21 international match

→ Main article : Jade Stadium

The home ground of SV Wilhelmshaven is the Jade Stadium, built in 1999 in the Rüstringer Stadtpark district . The stadium has a capacity of 7,500 seats, of which 2,200 are seats. With the exception of about 2,000 standing places for guest fans, all the seats in the stadium are covered. The Jadestadion is a pure football stadium without a running track surrounding the field . The stadium is owned by the city of Wilhelmshaven.

Before that, SV Wilhelmshaven played from 1972 to 1998 in the stadium on Friedenstrasse in the Rustersiel district . The site was designated as building land in 1995 and was demolished in May 1998. In the 1998/99 season, the team temporarily played their home games on the marine sports field on Freiligrathstrasse. The predecessor club Wilhelmshaven 05 already played at the marine sports field.

Women's soccer

The women's football department of SV Wilhelmshaven was brought in by the parent club Wilhelmshaven 05. After many years in the lower divisions, he was promoted to the first-class Oberliga Nord in 1989 , where SVW immediately became runner-up behind VfR Eintracht Wolfsburg . With second place, the team qualified for the newly created Bundesliga. There the team got off to an excellent start and beat 1. FC Neukölln 6-1 on the first matchday . Iris Taaken scored the first goal in Bundesliga history in the first minute.

At the end of the season, the team was missing a point on a non-relegation place. As runners-up the following season, the team was defeated in the qualifying game for the promotion round to the eventual European Cup winner FC Rumeln-Kaldenhausen . In 1994 Claudia Lübbers became the youngest German national player and goalscorer at the age of 16 years and 99 days . After the 1999/2000 season, the department was dissolved.

In 2016 a women's team was founded again. The newly formed team had their first assignment in the winter hall round 2016/17.
