History of the football department
The club was founded on March 25, 1913 as the football division of the gymnastics club from 1887 . In 1924 the footballers separated from the entire club. A year later, the merger with the Ballspielverein took place in 1916 to form Sportfreunde Katernberg .
In 1944, Sportfreunde rose to the top German league, the then Gauliga , for the first time . After only one game (0: 1 against TuS Helene Altenessen ) the championship was canceled due to the war. In the same year, the sports fans in the Tschammerpokal advanced to the second round. They became Gaupokalsieger on the Lower Rhine with victories over Schwarz-Weiß Essen (6: 2), VfB Lohberg (3: 2), Westende Hamborn (3: 2) and Fortuna Düsseldorf (5: 1). In the final round of the Tschammer Cup they finally failed in front of 10,000 spectators at Reviernachbarn FC Schalke 04 2: 4.
The restart after the Second World War ended with a 3rd place in the Ruhr district championship in 1945/46, the highest league in this period. Between 1947 and 1953 the club belonged again to the top division of the time, the West Football League . In the 1947/48 season the Sportfreunde Katernberg were runner-up in the Oberliga West and qualified for participation in the final round of the German soccer championship. Here, however, they failed in the quarter-finals with 1: 2 at TSV Braunschweig . Only in the 1949/50 season did the Sportfreunde play in the 2nd League West , but managed to immediately return to the top division.
In 1955 he was relegated to the amateur camp and rebuilt. In the 1957/58 season, they were promoted to the newly founded top amateur class, the Niederrhein Association League , after a 2-1 win in the decider against 1. FC Bocholt tied on points . In the 1960s, the fall began in the lower divisions. It was not until 1975/76 that the club was promoted to what was then the highest amateur class, the association league. In 1989 the Sportfreunde managed to move up to the then third-class Oberliga Nordrhein , from which the Katernbergers had to relegate after two years. In the following years, the 1st men's team rose to the district league A Essen North-West. In 2009 he was promoted to the district league, from which they were relegated in 2011. In 2013 the fall followed in the district league B. In 2015 the sports fans were promoted again to the district league A, but the following year they were relegated again.
On March 24, 2017, it was decided to merge sports fans with the DJK Katernberg club . The sports fans broke up and the members joined the DJK Katernberg. They then changed their name to DJK Sportfreunde Katernberg .
