St. Pauli Sport (officially: St. Pauli Sportverein ) was a sports club based in Hamburg . The first soccer team reached the finals for the North German Championship twice.

history

The club goes back to FC Britannia , which was founded on May 18, 1901 and which reached fourth place in the Hamburg championship in 1903. After the beginning of the First World War , the club changed its name to SC Blücher (the "B" on the jerseys could remain) and in 1919 merged with the St. Pauli Sports Association to form St. Pauli Sport . The St. Pauli Sports Association was created shortly before the merger of St. Pauli SpVgg 06 and SV Favorite-Hammonia .

In 1923 the team made it into the first-class Elbe district league at the time . Previously, they remained unbeaten 49 championship games in a row. In the very first season, the team missed the championship by just two points in fourth place. With Karl Politz , St. Pauli Sport later produced a national player. After several third places, the team became champions of the Elbe District League in 1928 and lost the final of the Hamburg championship against Hamburger SV with 0: 3. At the North German Championship they defeated Phoenix Lübeck 3-2 in the qualification , only reaching the penultimate place in the final with three points.

A year later, St. Pauli Sport lost in qualifying for the North German finals Holstein Kiel with 1: 6. In 1932, the club was relegated from the Hamburg Oberliga . A year later, St. Pauli Sport forcibly merged with the workers' club FC Amateure to form Sport 01 Hamburg and in 1938 it was relegated to the third division. After the end of the Second World War , this club was incorporated into Eimsbütteler SV , which merged with Grün-Weiss Hamburg in 1976 to become Grün-Weiss Eimsbüttel .
