The stadium on Frankfurter Strasse , also known as the DJK Stadium since 1982 , is a football stadium in the Zellerau district of the Lower Franconian city of Würzburg . The stadium, built in 1912, was the home of FV 04 Würzburg for 70 years before it passed into the possession of the DJK Würzburg after its bankruptcy on March 17, 1982 for the sum of DM 950,000 .
history
The stadium was opened in 1912 and in 1925 received a wooden grandstand with 700 seats. In the late 1920s, the stadium was the venue for first division matches after the footballers of the owner FV 04 Würzburg had been promoted to the top division of the time, the Bavarian District League, for the 1927/28 season . The highlight of this first season in the Bavarian regional league was a 4-3 win against the reigning German champions 1. FC Nürnberg . After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, FV 04 was one of the founding members of the newly introduced Gauliga Bayern , to which it belonged in some seasons when the stadium was also the venue for first division matches. The stadium experienced another high point in the final round of the German soccer championship 1934/35 , when it hosted the match between SpVgg Fürth and FC Hanau 93 (0: 1) on April 14, 1935 .
Between 1976 and 1980 the stadium was the venue for games of the 2nd League South for four seasons . In 1981, a year after FV Würzburg 04 was relegated from the second division, the club went bankrupt and subsequently also lost its stadium, which was acquired by the DJK in 1982. The successor club then had the old stands torn down. Today three sides are at ground level and part of the site is home to a supermarket. As a replacement for the old wooden grandstand, only a small grandstand was built.
In a "swap", the FV-04 successor club, Würzburger FV, received the old DJK sports field on Mainaustraße, on which the new club created a small standing stadium with space for around 3,500 spectators. It was named after the longstanding and committed member of the club, Sepp Endres, and was officially called the Sepp-Endres sports facility .
Attendance records
The stadium reported a record number of visitors in the 1975/76 Bayern League season , when 15,196 visitors came to the top match between the two Würzburg opponents, the FV 04 against the Kickers . In the first second division season 1976/77 the stadium was then sold out twice: on November 20, 1976 against the eventual champions and promoted VfB Stuttgart (0: 3) and on February 19, 1977 against the Franconian rival 1.FC Nürnberg (2: 2 ), when around 15,000 visitors made the pilgrimage to the stadium on Frankfurter Strasse.
