history

Soccer

In 1912, SpV Herten 12 was founded. In 1929 and 1932, the team became Westphalian champions and thus reached the final round of the West German championship. The club was included in the newly founded Gauliga Westfalen in 1933. The seasons 1934/35 and 1936/37 were the most successful in the club's history. Both times, the team based in the Katzenbusch arena came fourth. The Herten team was able to win a draw three times from FC Schalke 04, which is considered “unbeatable” . In 1939 the team had to relegate and returned for a year in the 1941/42 season.

After the Second World War , the team was accepted into the regional league , to which all Gauligists from 1939 to 1945 belonged. After the Oberliga West was missed in 1947 , the SpV merged with Concordia Herten to form SpVgg Herten 07/12. Under this name he immediately returned to the regional league and in 1949 qualified for the II Division. There the team played with varying degrees of success. In the 1954/55 season , the Herten missed as fourth the promotion to the league by just one point. In 1962/63 the SpVgg reached third place, the best placement in the II. Division and qualified for the newly introduced Regionalliga West .

On the last day of the 1963/64 season , the team lost a penalty in the final minute at VfB Bottrop and had to relegate. The return to the regional league was missed and in 1972 even relegation from the association league followed . The sporty decline continued with the descent from the state league in 1976. Three years later, the Herten team rose again to the regional league and came third there in 1981. In 1989 the team was relegated to the district league and five years later had to go to the district league A. The financial problems were resolved by a friendly against Schalke 04 organized by Rudi Assauer , who played for SpVgg Herten in the early 1960s.

Roller hockey

In addition to the footballers, SpVgg Herten also provided a successful roller hockey department that played for many years in the Bundesliga , which was founded in 1967 . The team became German champions in 1951, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1961, 1964, 1965, 1970 and most recently in 1979, making it the fourth most successful club in Germany. The department has now split under the name of Rollsport Spielvereinigung Herten .

On July 1, 2000, the SpVgg completed the long sought merger with the DJK 07/26 Herten , which was created in 1971 through the merger of the DJK Rot-Weiß Herten association, founded in 1907, and the Teutonia Herten-Süd association, founded in 1926 . The DJK SpVgg Herten took over the place of the SpVgg in the district league A and managed to rise to the district league in 2004.
