development
In 1908 the soccer club “Sport” was founded in Niederschelden (today a district of Siegen ) in the inn “Zum Stahlwerk”. Its colors were "black and yellow". This club “Sport”, the FC Borussia founded in the same year and “Einigkeit” from neighboring Gosenbach merged in 1911 to form the “Spielvereinigung Niederschelden”. On July 24th, 1925, another merger with the “FC Gosenbach” followed and the “Spiel und Sport” (SuS), which still exists today, was created.
For the first few years, the club played its home games on an area within an old brick factory. In 1925 the municipality of Niederschelden bought the site and the machine house of the former Henriette mine in the Rosengarten area . It has offered the pupil a new home up to the present. “On an area of 120/115 m length and 60 / 82.5 m width, in other words trapezoidal, with a gradient of 1.00 m = 1 cm in the longitudinal direction, a mixture of slate, quartz and greywacke is created of 2/3 sharp-grained pit sand and 1/3 loamy earth masses “ the Rosengarten sports field , which was inaugurated on September 4, 1926 and was used in this form until the turn of the millennium.
In 1931 the first team of the "Spiel und Sport" championship of South Westphalia became the greatest success up to that point. During the Second World War , football business came to a complete standstill from 1944 at the latest.
The time after the Second World War
On August 18, 1945, just 102 days after the capitulation of the German Reich, 63 sports comrades met for the first extraordinary annual general meeting after the war. They also competed in football and became southern champions in the 1945/46 season.
From 1949 onwards, half a dozen players were strengthened with former first and second division players from Eckernförder SV , including the former East Prussian champion of VfB Königsberg and DM finalist Eduard "Ede" Krause and goalkeeper Gerhard Thiele, who also became a player in Westphalia as a student .
In 1950/51 an amateur Westphalia league was formed for the first time. You belonged to the SuS and reached eighth place in the table in the first year. Fritz Zimmermann and Gerhard Janz († November 18, 1999 at the age of 75) contributed the lion's share of the 71 hits with 22 goals each. A total of 12,000 spectators were counted in the two big league games, which were played in the Siegerland between the SuS and Sportfreunde Siegen .
On April 15, 1951, players from the two competing clubs played together for the first time in a friendly against the reigning German champions 1. FC Kaiserslautern . This team was essentially formed from the later heroes of Bern , and they were satisfied with the 4-0 defeat. For the 1952/53 season, the Westphalia League was dissolved by the West German Football Association and regional leagues were newly formed. The pupil reached the elimination round to determine the Westphalian champion and only failed in this final qualification to Preußen Münster with the famous 100,000 mark storm .
On January 18, 1953, 9,000 spectators formed a new attendance record at a home game against Sportfreunde Siegen. The specter of traffic chaos was first described in the local newspapers. On November 12, 1955, the striker Fritz Zimmermann was appointed to the squad for the amateur international match against England together with Herbert Schäfer . In the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London , the German team won 3-2, and Zimmermann scored the German winning goal in the 77th minute. After nine years the SuS had to say goodbye to the highest Westphalian amateur league after the 1956/57 season and from then on played in the Landesliga Südwestfalen. In the course of the next decades various promotions and relegations followed, most recently in 2006/07 the promotion to the state league.
In 2005 the Rosengarten sports field was equipped with artificial turf after extensive renovation work . The 2008/09 season went down in club annals as a year for the ages. The SuS achieved a total of six titles on the field plus the indoor circle championship for the D youth. In addition to the successes of the 2nd and 3rd senior team, which rose as champions in the district league and the A district league, the youth division also achieved some title successes. The A-youth repeated their last year's triumph in the district league, which they crowned this time with a jump into the district league after successful promotion games. This was denied to the B-youth of games and sports , but they also became district champions. Relay winners in the general classes (district classes) were the D-1 and the E-1 of SuS Niederschelden, the E-3 failed only in a decider in Netphen on SV 1911 with the same number of points was won unbeaten with a goal difference of 54.
