History of Stuttgart rugby

1860–1934: From the beginning to the first club founding

With the establishment of private English schools in Cannstatt around 1860, rugby was introduced in Stuttgart by William Cail , among others . The first real club that officially played rugby was the Cannstatter Football Club , or CFC for short, founded on March 25, 1890 . It was followed on September 9, 1893 by the FV 1893 Stuttgart. In 1894, when the Stuttgart Football Club was founded, the third club that played rugby at the time was added. Of all three clubs, only the FV managed to establish itself permanently as a club. The CFC was partly transferred to the FV and partly to the Cannstatter Kronen Club. These two clubs again merged to form VfB Stuttgart in 1912 . In 1900 the FV 1893 was one of the founding members of the German Rugby Football Association , at that time still within the DFB . The year 1909 came up with two highlights from the club's history at the time. First there was an international match between the FV 1893 and the Sporting Club Universitaire de France from Paris on April 12th, which was rare in these times , and on November 14th 1909 the FV 1893 Stuttgart was in its first major national final. It was the first German rugby championship against FSV 1897 Hannover. With the guest appearance of the then French champions Stade Bordelais in 1910 at FV 1893, the gradual decline of rugby began at FV 1893, as (association) football was now gaining more and more popularity. For a short time, the then VfB President Dr. Deubler once again to establish the rugby footballers as a full department within VfB Stuttgart after the First World War .

1934–1958: First and second club formation

The last remaining part of the VfB rugby team dared to continue the rugby tradition in Stuttgart under the direction of Carl Gottlob Neidhart in 1934 as the Stuttgart Rugby Club . That this was still very strong was shown by the Gaume Championships won in 1936 and 1937 and the appointment of the SRC players Schlotterbeck, Neidhart and Gilbert to the national rugby team of that time. The great time of the SRC ended with the international match between Germany and Italy, which took place on May 5, 1940 in the Neckar Stadium . With balls donated by the US Army, an arduous beginning had to be made for the second time in the 1950s, which reached its preliminary climax with the foundation of the second club in 1958.

1966–1997: PSG Stuttgart

In 1966, the SRC was dissolved for the second time because the lawn in Möhringen was no longer available. In the same year, after long and tough negotiations, the SRC joined as a department of the Stuttgart Post Sports Association . On June 9, 1968, the PSG rugby department hosted the 48th final of the German rugby championship in front of 5000 spectators in the Festwiese stadium between the southern champions TSV Handschuhsheim and the northern champions DSV 1878 Hanover . In 1971 the PSG became South German regional league champions for the first time. In 1982 there was a syndicate with the Stuttgart Exiles - an Anglo-American team that joined PSG in 1984. With a 19: 9 win against the Heidelberg Rowing Club , they won the second South German Championship and moved up to the 1st Bundesliga South. While the first participation in the final in the German league cup against FC St. Pauli was still lost in 1991 , it was won in 1992 in the final against FV 1897 Linden . Due to the end of the career of important top performers and a lack of young talent, PSG rose from the 1st Bundesliga in 1993. As a result of the dissolution of the Federal Post Office in 1997, PSG Stuttgart became insolvent and had to go bankrupt.

1998 – today

Analogous to the events of 1934, the meanwhile third new beginning in 64 years was made by remaining rugby players under the old name SRC. In 2007 he won the third South German regional league championship and was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga South. With the final participation in the league cup and the win of the German 2nd league championship for men and a good third place for women, the SRC 2010 celebrated its best season so far since its re-establishment.
