history
FC Bayern Hof
The FC Bayern Hof was founded on June 1, 1910 under the name Club ballgame court and was called from 1911 Britannia yard. In 1913, FC Roland Hof and FC Phönix Hof joined Britannia. When Great Britain became Germany's opponent in the war in 1914, the name was changed to FC Bayern Hof. The club name, which was only valid for such a short time, has been picked up again for a number of years by the enthusiastic and numerous fans who also cheer on their team with “Britannia” shouts. After the First World War , Bayern Hof soon became one of the most successful soccer teams in Northern Bavaria. The so-called Panzer-Elf (after their striker Karl Panzer) rose to the top division of the time in 1927 and won both games against 1. FC Nürnberg in the 1929/30 season.
The new leap into the then first-class Oberliga Süd came in 1959. This class was held until the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, when Bayern Hof reached sixth place as the best placement in the 1961/62 season . The greatest success was a 5-0 away win at Bayern Munich on Grünwalder Strasse in 1961/62. Since only five teams from the south were considered for the Bundesliga, FC Bayern Hof had to go to the second-highest division, the Regionalliga Süd, from 1963 . There you could win the championship title under coach Heinz Elzner in 1968 and, like after the second places in 1967 and 1972, take part in the promotion round to the Bundesliga.
The 1972/73 DFB League Cup won two wins against FC Bayern Munich and one against TSV 1860 Munich, which made it into the quarter-finals of the competition. The game between Hapoel Nahariya and FC Bayern Hof in 1969 was the first game between teams from Germany and Israel. The referee of the game was Abraham Klein , who was also used at three world championships. Initially qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga South , launched in 1974 , the team was relegated to the Bayern League after the 1977/78 season . In 1980, she even crashed into the Northern Bavarian League . In the years that followed, the people of Hof eke out a living as an " elevator team ". Since the second half of the 1990s, Bayern Hof - apart from a regional league interlude from 2004 to 2006 - re- established itself in the Bayern league .
SpVgg Hof
The SpVgg Hof (popularly known as Spotzer ) was the first football team in Franconia to be organized as a club when it was founded as the football department of the Hof gymnastics club in 1893 . From 1924 it existed as an independent club, which from 1926 also included an athletics department and, more recently, one for women's gymnastics . The handball department was dissolved in 1990.
The footballers were able to achieve promotion to the top division twice, in 1921 and 1929, but never last long there. After the Second World War, the greatest success was qualifying for the Bavarian League in 1966 , which, however, was also followed by direct relegation.
SpVgg Bayern Hof
In 2006, in the first season after the merger, they were promoted to the Bayern League again. Two years later, the team secured relegation with a 2-0 win on the last match day against FC Kempten . In 2011, the team was initially deducted two points because of "a particularly serious case of violation of the site rules"; the point deduction was then withdrawn by the Association Sports Court. With a 2-1 win after extra time against the tied SpVgg Bayreuth , the Hofer avoided relegation and saved themselves in relegation. There, after a 1-0 win against the second team of SSV Jahn Regensburg, relegation could be secured.
A year later , SpVgg Bayern Hof was runner-up behind TSV 1860 Rosenheim and was promoted to the newly created Bavarian Regional League. Striker Cem Ekinci, who was the top scorer in the Bayern League with 21 goals, played a major role in the success . In the 2012/13 regional league season , the Hofers only managed to stay in the relegation against TSV Großbardorf . In 2013/14 , however, the club missed participation in the relegation round to avoid relegation due to the direct comparison with Schweinfurt 05 . In 2016 he was promoted to the Regionalliga again, which was followed by relegation to the Bayernliga in 2017.
In July 2019, the head coach Alexander Spindler resigned.
Venues
The Grüne Au stadium , located on the eastern edge of Hof in the Fabrikvorstadt district, was built on land that FC Bayern Hof leased in 1913 and purchased in 1930. It has been owned by the city of Hof since 1980 . It is a pure football stadium without a running track, the playing field is surrounded on three sides by earth walls with standing walls, interrupted in the middle of the main straight by the building with changing rooms, office and other rooms. This is followed by the so-called new grandstand with 800 covered seats, which towers above the standing room. On the back straight there is a covered wooden grandstand with 1,335 seats on benches. The official attendance record with 19,100 visitors dates from May 22, 1968 in the Bundesliga promotion round match against Rot-Weiss Essen . In the 2007/08 season, the average attendance in the fourth-class Bayernliga was 1,144.
The original venue of the SpVgg Hof was in the area of today's Jahnstrasse and Fröbelstrasse, but in the 1930s it had to give way to the expansion of Jahnstrasse as the city's new arterial road to the west. In 1933 the new sports area was inaugurated on Ossecker Straße. It has been owned by the city of Hof since 1982 as the Hans-Peters-Stadion and offers all the necessary facilities for athletics events as well as a covered grandstand. In addition, the games of the reserve and youth teams of SpVgg Bayern Hof usually took place there.
On July 1st, 2015 the Ossecker Stadion was taken over by the 1. FFC Hof. The youth department therefore moved to the Ascher Strasse site. The games of the youth are now usually held there or on the artificial turf field in the stadium area.
Fan culture
The fans of SpVgg Bayern Hof maintain a long-standing friendship with fans of FC Eintracht Bamberg and the appendix of VFC Plauen in Saxony, about 40 km away . There has been a long-term rivalry with the fans of SpVgg Bayreuth (“Good Night Bareid”). There has been a particular aversion to SV Heimstetten since the 2013/14 regional league season .
