The Wannsee Football Association is a football club from the southwestern Berlin district of Wannsee . The club has around 500 members, including a very strong youth sports department with around 350 young people .

history

On March 8, 1896 the men's gymnastics club Wannsee was founded in 1896 . This merged on 27 April 1935, the Sports Club Wannsee for gymnastics and sports club Wannsee . After the dissolution in 1945, TuS Wannsee was re-established on March 16, 1950.

In the 1960s, the soccer department became particularly successful. In 1965, the first men's team was promoted to the then third-class amateur league in Berlin. TuS quickly established itself there. However, there were differences of opinion between the departments of the club, as the club had to pay expense allowances to the players. The other departments were unwilling to accept liability for any debts the football department might have. The football department was initially separated from the main club and was called the Wannsee Football Association in TuS Wannsee as an autonomous department within the main club . Four years later, the team won the Berlin amateur championship. This authorized participation in the German Amateur Championship and promotion to the Berlin Regionalliga - the highest division in Berlin and the second highest in Germany.

While TuS lost to SV Göppingen 1: 7 and 2: 3 in the first round of the German amateur championship , things went better in the Regionalliga. In 1969/70, the newcomer finished ninth, a year later TuS even came seventh. On June 24, 1971, the autonomous department became the independent football association Wannsee .

However, the autonomy did not prevent relegation from the regional league after three years in the 1971/72 season. Two years later, the amateur league team failed to qualify for the newly formed Oberliga Berlin as an amateur substructure for the new 2nd Bundesliga and slipped into fourth division.

In 1987 the first men's team was finally in the B-class. There was even a risk of relegation to the lowest division, the C-Class. But at that time the soccer department of TuS Makkabi Berlin was facing similar problems as the Wannsee team around 20 years earlier. TuS Makkabi no longer wanted to bear the financial risks of competitive football. Therefore, the Makkabi footballers joined the FV Wannsee and brought the state league starting point into the merger.

With the new team there was a new upswing, which reached its peak in the 1990/91 season. Because the FV Wannsee made it into the Oberliga Nordost-Mitte . The league did not succeed in the 1991/92 season, however, the football association rose third from bottom again. In 1997 the TuS Makkabi footballers returned to their home club.

In 2021 an anniversary year begins for the club, in which 125 years of football in Wannsee and the 50th anniversary of the football association will be celebrated.

Currently (as of the 2020/21 season) the club's 1st men's team plays in the ninth-class Kreisliga A Berlin, Season 2.

Known players

The football professionals Michél Mazingu-Dinzey and Sofian Chahed emerged from the youth of FV Wannsee . From 1970 to 1974 Dumitru Ivan , who had become Romanian national champion four times with Dinamo Bucharest between 1962 and 1965, was under contract with the club.

Venue

The Wannsee Football Association plays its home games in the Wannsee Stadium at Chausseestrasse 29–31 in 14109 Berlin.

In 2004 the expansion of the grass pitch was discussed in order to create opportunities for a national team to train for the 2006 World Cup in Wannsee . However, the plans were rejected by the joint user, the athletics club, as they insisted on a running track around the field.

In 2009, the long overdue new construction of the changing rooms began. The costs were initially estimated at around € 800,000 in 2007. In the summer of 2010, the work on the changing rooms was completed, with the costs ultimately increasing to around € 1.3 million.

In 2014, the sports areas were also redesigned. From the old, large natural grass pitch, two adjacent and merging fields were created. The grounds of the Wannsee stadium today consists of these two natural grass pitches, which are located on Chausseestrasse, and an artificial turf pitch, which is located on the same facility and can be reached directly via Alsenstrasse. All places are equipped with floodlights. The clubhouse is also located on the artificial turf pitch, where drinks and food are often served on match days.

The field is also used by the Wannsee state performance center "Richard Genthe" of the Berlin Football Association ( BFV ). The place is also available to the German national team .
