The Sportfreunde 1920 Klausberg were a German football club from Klausberg in Upper Silesia , formerly Mikultschütz.
history
In 1920 the gymnastics club, founded in 1906, formed a football department in Mikultschütz , a small town that was then part of the Beuthen district and is now a district of Zabrze . In the dispute between the German gymnastics association and the sports associations, which culminated in a “clean divorce”, the football department set up its own business under the name Sportfreunde 1920 Mikultschütz and took part in the SOFV games .
In 1922/23, the club played for the first time in the A-class of the Gau Beuthen-West, took 1st place there and then lost the final of the Gau championship against the East Master Beuthen 09 with 0: 1 . In 1927 the sports fans from Gau Beuthen were incorporated into Gau Hindenburg, where in 1930 they were promoted to the 2nd District League of Upper Silesia, Industry Group, where 2nd place was achieved. 2nd place was already achieved in the first year. After another second rank, the club rose in the course of the reorganization of the leagues carried out by the National Socialists in 1933 in the Hindenburg district league.
In 1936 Mikultschütz was renamed to Klausberg and the name of the association was changed accordingly. After advancing to the district class, Sportfreunde Klausberg rose to the top division, the Gauliga Schlesien , in 1937 . The club, which played in black and red colors, remained first class for three years.
Hubert Renk , Joseph Lukoschek and Gerhard Nowara were the pillars of the team, which played their home games in the 20,000-seat stadium in the Klausberg community . Above all, the striker Renk stood out, who is also said to have become aware of Reich coach Sepp Herberger . 1940 followed the descent from the Gauliga Oberschlesien , after the beginning of the war the Oberschlesier got their own Gauliga. The Klausbergers could not keep up with the top clubs from Beuthen , Gleiwitz , Ratibor and Hindenburg , to which the East Upper Silesian clubs from Königshütte , Bismarckhütte , Lipine and Kattowitz were added after the occupation of Poland .
Numerous talents played in the ranks of the Black and Reds, but the Gauliga was too early for the young and inexperienced players. They later made careers in the Polish top class or at German top division clubs. After the end of the Second World War, Klausberg became Polish and was given the name Mikulczyce. The Sportfreunde association went out in 1920.
