history

Early Years (1920 to 1969)

In 1920 the club was founded as SV Eintracht Bad Pyrmont . In 1934 the club was forcibly merged with SC Blau-Weiß 1927 Bad Pyrmont and MTV Bad Pyrmont in 1861 to form MTSV Bad Pyrmont . At the same time, the MTSV was incorporated into the NS-Reichsbund for physical exercises . The association has had its current name since January 1946. The MTV Bad Pyrmont was also established after the war, but without a football department.

In 1956, the team rose to the then third-class amateur league 3 , but had to leave it immediately after a playoff defeat against the Badenstedter SC . Even after the second ascent in 1959, the immediate relegation followed. With a series of 31: 1 points in a row, the SpVgg forced a playoff against SV Engern in the 1960/61 district class season , which the Pyrmonters won 2-1.

In the amateur league, SpVgg was runner-up behind SV Obernkirchen in 1962 . Two years later, the Pyrmonters qualified as runner-up behind Lower Saxony Döhren for the newly created Association League South . Despite a renowned coach like Fred Harthaus, the SpVgg was only able to reach midfield positions. In the 1968/69 season, the Pyrmonters only just managed to stay in the league.

The Maassen era (1969 to 1977)

In 1969 the Barntrup entrepreneur Jürgen Maaßen, son of the long-time President of Rot-Weiß Oberhausen , Peter Maaßen , took over the management of the club. Jürgen Maaßen wanted to lead the SpVgg into higher leagues and provided the club with numerous prominent players. First, the SpVgg reached the DFB Cup for the first time in 1971 , after they had previously defeated the regional division 1. SC Göttingen 05 and VfL Osnabrück in the North German Cup . In the first round at the federal level , the end came against Werder Bremen .

In 1972 it was only enough for the runner-up in the association league behind the Hannoversche SC . A year later, the Pyrmont champions and rose after a 1-0 victory in the last promotion round match against TSV Sievern in the Lower Saxony state league . In the national league season 1973/74, the SpVgg delivered an exciting title race with Prussia Hameln . Although the Pyrmonters were only runner-up, the team qualified for the newly created Oberliga Nord, for which Kurt Koch, a renowned coach, was committed.

Chaotic times began. In March 1975 the team went on a training strike because of unpaid expense allowances . At the same time, Jürgen Maassen's company ran into financial problems. It turned out that player salaries and transfer fees were paid out of the company's coffers. At the same time it was forgotten for months to collect the membership fees. After the league was barely managed in the 1974/75 season , most of the players left the club.

In the following season , the SpVgg was beaten and with 120 goals conceded last. After Arminia Hannover and VfL Wolfsburg made it to the 2nd Bundesliga , the Pyrmonters stayed in the top division. Without a win and with 159 goals conceded, the team rose from the league in 1977 . Against Bremerhaven 93 they lost 0:10, against HSV Barmbek-Uhlenhorst 2:11 and against the amateurs from Werder Bremen even 1:12. During the season, Jürgen Maaßen resigned as president.

Decline and rebuilding (since 1977)

In 1978, SpVgg qualified again for the DFB-Pokal and were only marginally 2-1 defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt in the first round . In 1980, the association was forced to owe 80,000 marks and the tax office demanded unpaid taxes. In terms of sport, the Pyrmonters had no chance in the association league season 1980/81 and were relegated from bottom of the table. In order to consolidate financially, the club voluntarily withdrew the team to the 1st district class in Hameln / Pyrmont . Four years later, he was promoted to the district league, which was followed by the leap into the district class in 1989.

After a few more relegations and promotions, the SpVgg joined the Hanover 4 district league in 2004. Previously, the team rose twice in a row. In 2013 he was promoted to the Hanover regional league . In 2015 the game association only reached 13th place in the national league and lost the relegation against FC Eldagsen . In the following 2015/16 season, he was directly promoted again. From summer 2017 to July 2019, the former German national player David Odonkor took over the coaching position.
