The SpVgg Deichsel Hindenburg was a German sports club in Hindenburg in Upper Silesia, which today belongs to Poland as Zabrze .
history
In 1909, at the company "Drahtseilwerke Adolf Deichsel AG" in Klein-Zabrze, a district of the rural community of Zabrze, which has existed since 1905, a factory sports club was founded, the first of its kind in all of Silesia . In this club, which traded as TV Deichsel Zabrze, initially only gymnastics was carried out, but athletics and swimming as well as the team games fistball, hitball and slingball were added, and the tambourine game for women. When the rural community of Zabrze was renamed "Hindenburg OS" (OS = Upper Silesia) in honor of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg on February 21, 1915 , the association also changed its name to "TV Deichsel Hindenburg".
In 1919, the TV Deichsel received a football department, which initially trained and played on a sports field on Solgerstrasse. The footballers who competed in yellow shirts with a big black “D” on their chest and black pants split off from the main club in the course of the “ clean divorce ” in 1923 and set up as the “Sportvereinigung (SpVgg) Deichsel 1919 Hindenburg”, but - as can be seen from the name - the close connection to the wire rope works has been preserved. General director Erwin Deichsel, who at times also took over the chairmanship of the factory athletes, had the club build a new sports field and two tennis courts on the factory site on Bitterstrasse, which was gradually expanded. In 1941 the "Deichsel-Sportplatz" held 8,000 spectators.
The footballers of the Deichsel sports association quickly advanced to the top of Upper Silesia, but without being able to match the leading teams from Beuthen 09 , Vorwärts-Rasensport Gleiwitz and later local rivals Prussia Zaborze (after 1933 Prussia Hindenburg ). Above all, the good youth work made the Werksverein known and repeatedly provided the first team with good offspring. In the period after 1930, the 1st and 2nd A-youth teams mostly provided the Hindenburg football champions of these classes, and in the 1933/34 season they even won the Upper Silesian Championship.
In the 1933/34 season he was promoted to the Gauliga Schlesien , one of the then sixteen highest German divisions. However, the league was only held two seasons, as early as 1936 the SpVgg Deichsel rose again together with VfB Breslau . In the period that followed, the club was unable to return to the Silesian Gauliga.
In 1937 the SpVgg Deichsel Hindenburg was merged with the TV Deichsel to form TuS Hindenburg 09 , which again went out in 1945.
In addition to football, the factory sports club offered a whole range of other sports. The athletes and handball players were particularly successful. But gymnastics, swimming and tennis could also be practiced in the shadow of the wire rope works.
