The TuS Güldenstern Stade was a sports club from Stade . He offered numerous sports, but the flagship was clearly the football department. Güldenstern's first team played in the Lower Saxony Oberliga from 2010 to 2012 . Until 1990 the club belonged to the playing area of Hamburg , then it moved to Lower Saxony .

history

In 1924 a group of students from Stade founded the association. However, this did not initially appear in the game area of ​​the DFB , but in that of the ATSB . Success was quickly celebrated there, becoming city champion in 1931 and opening a club-owned sports facility the following year. In 1933, the political upheavals put an end to further growth, as all workers' sports clubs were banned after the seizure of power . Many club members then joined the civic neighboring club Camper TV .

After the end of the war, this association merged with the re-founded SC Güldenstern . The new club with the name still valid today was a founding member of the single-track amateur league Hamburg in 1950 , at that time the second highest class in Germany. They quickly established themselves there. The year 1953 was the high point: As third in the league, the team qualified for the finals of the German Amateur Championship , but the preliminary round meant the elimination. After all, on May 24, 1953, they played against Hertha Zehlendorf in front of 25,000 spectators in the Berlin Olympic Stadium , even if they left the field with the final score of 6-0.

This climax was followed by quieter years with numerous ascents and descents. In 1963 the sports field on Camper Höhe , which is still in use today, was opened. In the 1973/74 season, ex-St. Pauli striker Horst Haecks ended his career in Stade. The highest Hamburg league was reached only sporadically in the following years, 1980 to 1982 was the last time you were allowed to start in this league. In the following years, local rivals VfL Stade , who rose to the Oberliga Nord , ran out of Güldenstern . In 1990 the association moved from the Hamburg Association to the Lower Saxony one.

There things slowly went up again, in 1994 they reached the Lower Saxony League East and stayed there for five years before they were relegated to the district level. For the 2006/07 season they returned to the Upper House of Lower Saxony. For three seasons they fought very respectably, mostly occupying midfield. The 2009/10 season was finally the last season for the season in which the Stader had last played: The eastern relay of Lower Saxony was combined with the western relay to form the new Lower Saxony Oberliga. At the end of the season, Güldenstern Stade finished in 10th place, which allowed them to start in the relegation. There they qualified as group winners ahead of FC Schüttorf 09 , SC Langenhagen and SV Arminia Hannover for the new league. In the 2010/11 season, however, you had to leave this division again as a knocked-down bottom of the table and were relegated to the sixth-class Landesliga Lüneburg .

On July 1, 2016 , TuS Güldenstern Stade merged with JFV Stade and VfL Stade . Since then, the football division has been running as VfL Güldenstern Stade .

Stadium and fans

The Camper Höhe stadium has been the home of the club since 1963. It offers space for around 4,500 spectators. The grandstand dominates architecturally, the rest of the expansion is limited to just a few steps. The fact that the club is not a pure football club is clear from the tartan track that runs around the football field. An average of 320 spectators attended the team's home games in the 2009/10 season, the best was 1,850 against local rivals SV Drochtersen / Assel .

The fan club of the league team was founded in 2007 and is called Garcia Güldenstern . There are rivalries in particular with the local league opponents SV Drochtersen / Assel and TuS Heeslingen , as well as with local rivals VfL Stade. There are also historical reasons for this, as the VfL, in contrast to the proletarian founding fathers of the TuS, always stood for the bourgeoisie. Until recently there was a friendship with the fans of MTV Gifhorn .
