The TSV Heusenstamm is a sports club from just south of Offenbach am Main town of Heusenstamm . The club gained national fame on the one hand through its football department , which was founded in 1906 , which had its heyday in the early 1920s and 1930s and experienced a revival again in the 1960s . But also through his gymnastics department , which became German team champion in 1965 with two-time Olympian Willy Jaschek .

history

The Heusenstamm gymnastics and sports club has its roots in the Heusenstamm gymnastics club, which was founded in 1873. The football department launched on December 8, 1906 within TV Heusenstamm joined the South German Football Association in 1910. When she opened her sports field on Obertshäuser Straße immediately after the First World War , the first successes were not long in coming. For the 1920/21 season she was promoted to the then first-class district league Südmain, in which she played in the same league as Kickers Offenbach . How big the difference in the performance of the two teams was, you can see from the fact that the OFC finished the season as champions with 45: 8 goals and 31-5 points, while the Heusenstammer finished the season in last place with 8:83 goals and 3 -33 points finished. Because the district league was topped up in the coming 1921/22 season , there was no relegation, so that the TSV could hold the class. But also in this season the team was hopelessly overwhelmed and could not hold the league due to the subsequent reduction in the number of participants.

In 1923, the athletes separated from the gymnasts as part of a clean divorce . The footballers who were still allied with the athletes now competed under the new name SV 06 Heusenstamm.

At the end of the 1920s, the former German national player Fritz Schnürle was entrusted with the post of head coach. He formed the team within a very short time into a regional top team that won the South Main District Championship in 1928 and thus qualified for the promotion round to the then top division, the Main District League. A few months after the failed promotion round, SV 06 and the second local football club FSV 1919 merged to form FSV 06 Heusenstamm on October 11, 1928. The new club won the district championship again in 1930 and qualified again for the promotion round to the top division, but also failed on this occasion.

But in the following year the "Rebel Team" - which got its nickname from the three brothers Anton, Karl and Bernhard Rebell and namesake Fritz - was supposed to do better: after the third district championship within four years, the long-awaited return to first class was achieved in 1931, so that the club, which has since been renamed FV 06 Heusenstamm, played in the Main group of the first-class district league Main / Hessen in the 1931/32 season. Although the Heusenstammers were able to leave two clubs behind them in the final table with SpVgg Griesheim 02 and the Frankfurt soccer pioneer Germania , ninth place was not enough to keep them up, so they were relegated immediately. In the following years, the Heusenstammer footballers reached the promotion round twice, but failed in 1934 at Union Niederrad and in 1941 at SV Darmstadt 98 .

When all clubs in Germany were dissolved after the Second World War and were only allowed to be re-established under a new name, the football team of the former FSV 06 merged into the newly installed large club TSV Heusenstamm.

A stroke of luck for the club was the engagement of former OFC captain Kurt Schreiner as coach. Under his leadership, the team succeeded in the 1958/59 season promotion to the then third-class Hessen League . There the TSV was able to assert itself as the best newcomer and took tenth place in the final table with a balance of 34:46 goals and 27-33 points. With Helmut Preisendörfer , who had previously trained in his own youth and who had become German runner-up with his big neighbor Kickers Offenbach in the previous season , the team was strengthened and climbed in the next season 1959/60 with a record of 51: 45 goals and 37–31 points make it sixth in the table. When, in the 1960/61 season , goalkeeper Walter Zimmermann , who was also trained in Heusenstamm and had played for OFC for the past ten years (like Preisendörfer, also played in the 1958/59 championship final against local rivals Eintracht Frankfurt ), was brought back to TSV , succeeded with 76:52 goals and 47-21 points, the runner-up in the Hessenliga behind FC Hanau 93 . Thus the team was qualified for the promotion round to 2. Oberliga Süd , in which one failed against the Bavarian representative 1. FC Haßfurt . In the following season 1961/62 the TSV was with the balance of 47:29 goals and 38-22 points runner-up of its season behind the previous year SV Darmstadt 98 . While in the 1962/63 season with a balance of 47:35 goals and 33-27 points, a third place was achieved, things went downhill over the next few years. After a tenth place in the 1963/64 season , the team finished the coming 1964/65 season from last place in the table and thus rose to the 2nd amateur league Hessen.

In the mid- 1970s , TSV played two more times for the top of the table in the Hessen Group League and was preparing to return to the Hessen League. However, he failed in 1974 at FV 1906 Sprendlingen and in 1975 at Spvgg. 03 Neu-Isenburg . After relegation from the Landesliga Süd in 1982, the club was shaken by a crisis that threatened its existence, and after relegation to the district league A in 1988, even considering the dissolution of the football department. However, after a further sporting decline could be prevented and the youth work was intensified again, the club board refrained from this measure. Currently (2017/18 season) the first team of TSV Heusenstamm plays in the district league A.
