The SpVgg Olympia 1914 Kassel (officially: Sportvereinigung Olympia 1914 Kassel eV ) is a sports club with the divisions football, tennis and hiking in the Kassel district of Niederzwehren . It emerged under its current name in the post-war years from the former workers' sports club SC Olympia Kassel (founded in 1919, dissolved in 1933) and the SpVgg Niederzwehren founded in 1914 . The latter played in the 1930s and 1940s at times in the top division, the Gauliga Hessen and Kurhessen . Under the current name of the club, they were represented in the top amateur league , the Hessenliga , in the 1970s .

history

Today's sports association Olympia 1914 Kassel has its roots in the following two clubs:

  • The Niederzwehren sports association, founded on March 28, 1914 as a pure football club, was based on what was then Herkulesstraße (today's Leuschnerstraße). After the First World War, one united with the Turnern from TV 1887 Niederzwehren to TuS 1887 Niederzwehren . The liaison did not last long, because due to the sporting political circumstances at the time, the paths parted again in June 1924 in the course of the so-called clean divorce and the footballers continued to play as SpVgg 1924 . In 1927 the Zwehrener climbed the A-Class with a 4-0 victory over Pfeil Kassel and marched through to the district league only twelve months later after a 3-2 win in Korbach. The team around men Peter, Ludwig Jordan and the Ziegler brothers, which was trending in black playing attire at that time, also did well here, not least because of their home strength.
  • The SC Olympia was founded in 1919 and was successful in the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association (ATSB), in whose top division they played for a long time. A short time after the National Socialists' seizure of power in 1933, the ATSB and its affiliated clubs were dissolved, and the footballers of SC Olympia then joined SpVgg in 1924 .

The most successful period in the club's history began soon after this merger. In 1935, SpVgg Niederzwehren became district champion with a 2-0 win over BC Sport Kassel , and in the subsequent round of promotion they also left TuS 06 Naunheim , VfR 07 Limburg and VfR Büdingen behind and thus rose to the top division of the time, the Gauliga Hessen . The climbers around Hans Zimmermann and Hans Podgorski were able to compete for the first time with the established city rivals Spielverein 06 and CSC 03 in the Gauliga season 1936/37 . The euphoria for advancement was soon followed by disillusionment; The low point of the season, in which six points could be booked on the credit account, was a 0:13 against the CSC 03 on the local Herkulesstraße. The sports association rose immediately from the football upper house. They did not return until the war years, and in the last Gauliga season in 1943/44 , SpVgg Niederzwehren even landed a surprise success with the runner-up championship.

In the course of the re-establishment of the clubs after the Second World War, SV Olympia 1945 Kassel was created in 1945 as the collective successor to SpVgg Niederzwehren , TuSpo Kassel and SC Olympia Kassel . The team of the new large club was able to qualify in February 1946 for the new - below the Oberliga Süd second class - Kurhessenliga and achieved a respectable third place here. For the single-track Landesliga Hessen formed in the following year, however, it was not enough for the Olympics, so that one initially disappeared in the district level. The gymnasts and handball players of the club split off from the large club in 1950 and founded TSG 1887 Niederzwehren , and SV Olympia became SpVgg Olympia 1914 Kassel .

In 1952, the SpVgg Olympia under coach Melching made the leap into the Hessian upper house, which is now in “1. Amateur League Hessen ”had been renamed. For two years, the team around goalkeeper Hans Knöpfel and striker Kurt Harrer mixed in the top national class, until a defeat in the decider against Rot-Weiss Frankfurt in 1954 led to relegation. At the same time, the traditional site on Leuschnerstrasse had to give way to a new school building and the people of Niederzwehren had to temporarily avoid the Kurhessenkampfbahn until a new area was created a few hundred meters from the former sports field in August 1956. In sporting terms, after the SpVgg failed in the promotion round at Olympia Lorsch in 1955 , modest times began. In 1960 they were relegated to the 2nd amateur league and subsequently did not go beyond the A or district class. In 1968/69 and from 1971 to 1973 the SpVgg Olympia was able to qualify at least for the then fourth-class group league.

Under coach and ex-KSV player Uwe Habedank and with players like Probandt, Wohlgemuth, Knauf, Mennickheim and Herwig, the "clover leaves" achieved another upswing in the mid-1970s, which led them to the highest Hessian league in 1976. However, the promotion to the league was marred by renewed space problems, because neither the home on Leuschnerstrasse nor the alternative on Silberbornstrasse proved to be suitable for the league, so that for the 1976/77 season they had to switch to the unpopular Auestadion again, which they are now with the KSV Hessen and the KSV Baunatal shared. In terms of sport, it was enough for the SpVgg Olympia to compete in the Hessenliga, and while they reached their zenith in 1978/79 with twelfth place, 4500 spectators, for example, saw the 1-0 home win over second division VfR OLI Bürstadt , the KSV's guest appearance Hesse even saw 5000 visitors.

However, the structure of the club was not sufficient for a permanent existence in the highest Hessian game levels, as early as 1980 one rose from the Hessenliga and three years later from the state league. Last represented in the Landesliga (today's association league ) in 1996/97 , SpVgg Olympia will play in the Kassel regional league in the 2019/20 season.
