Union 03 Altona (officially SC Union from 1903 ) is a German sports club from the city of Altona , which was an independent town until 1938 and is now part of Hamburg . In the inter - war period, his footballers in particular helped him gain a good name across the region, competed almost continuously in the top division and provided numerous North German players. Around 1970 it was the club's handball players who won the German championship twice as SC Union 03 Hamburg and from whose ranks a number of players came to international assignments.

overview

The initially pure football club was founded under the name FC Union from 1903 Altona on June 7th, 1903 by 36 students and apprentices who had previously worked in “wild”, i. H. teams not belonging to any association pursued their hobby; black and white were chosen as the club colors. In 1905 he joined the Hamburg-Altona Football Association . This was followed by an incident characteristic of the “childhood years of English lolling around”: the team had to play, was evidently found to be good and immediately placed in the top league, the A-class. 1932 from the soccer of Sport Club Union 03 Altona ; after enactment of the Greater Hamburg Law (1937) it was renamed SC Union 03 Hamburg . At the beginning of 1923 a group of members split off and founded the SV West-Eimsbüttel . In 1925 the handball department , which was very successful after the Second World War, was established .

Little can be learned about club life during the Third Reich apart from purely sporting matters. Whether union had Jewish club members, as he had dealt with the DFB statement from April 1933, according to which Jews in leading positions of the clubs are no longer acceptable, and whether there is a "preemptive DC circuit was" is not known, but at least with respect to the first Probably question given the large Jewish community in Altona at the time. About 12% of them did organized sports, and only a minority of them in an association of the Jewish movement such as Makkabi or Bar Kochba .

Unions Festschrift from 2003 largely hides this time - as was the case for a long time in sports at clubs and associations. Only the effects of the war (“this inferno of world history”), especially the destruction caused by the bombing of the city (“the aerial war rushed to its terrible climax”), are mentioned. The corresponding chapter ends with the words: “The genocide that started in Germany left a gruesome balance sheet”; are mourned "the around 100 comrades who are in foreign soil".

Union's first football team belonged to the top German league from 1905 to 1936 and again from 1945 to 1947. With the introduction of the soccer Oberliga Nord , for which the club could not qualify, the first class of the Altona ended; until 1963 they were still represented in the second division (see below ) . The club's footballers had their most successful period during the Weimar Republic : in those years they made it into the final round of the North German championship nine times.

While there were around 2,000 Unioners in the 1920s, the association currently only has around 400 members; also for this reason there were merger negotiations with Altonaer FC from 1893 in 2005 , but they failed. In the 2012/13 season, the club only played in the ninth highest league, the district class (season 6), but was able to make the direct return to the district league perfect by taking second place in the final table.

Rudolf Barth Stadium, 2013

In the early years, the Unioner played, even then verbatim also as " Jonier ", on a place in the border area of ​​the community Langenfelde (from 1927 Altona district) to Hamburg's Eimsbüttel . In 1913, the club's own venue next to the then Kaltenkirchen train station of the AKN am Kreuzweg (today: Stresemannstraße in Altona-Nord ) was able to move into, until the traditional area had to give way to the new building of the parcel post office on Kaltenkirchener Platz in the early 1960s. After the First World War, the stadium offered around 25,000 visitors, and after 1945 around 10,000 visitors. It also had a roofed grandstand, which was completely destroyed in the air raids in 1943 ; the club archive was also lost. Especially in local derbies against Altona 93, the capacity was largely exhausted, as was the case in some international friendly matches (see below ) ; the magazine Turnen Sport und Spiel put it in 1925: “A meeting of the Altona Union is traditionally one of the most popular events in Greater Hamburg.” Even in the second class during the 1950s, 5,000 spectators occasionally went to the Way of the Cross.

Since then, Union has had its facility a few hundred meters north of it on Waidmannstrasse (Rudolf Barth Stadium) ; in the seasons 2006/07 to 2008/09 the second team of FC St. Pauli also played their league matches there. Since the promotion to the regional league (2011/12 season), however, this is no longer possible because the stadium does not meet the DFB criteria.

Well-known former players

A later German national player emerged from this club in the form of Sturmass Adolf Jäger , who moved to local rivals Altona 93 in 1907. The first Unioner who played representative for Northern Germany was Gustav Kullmann in November 1910. Also before the First World War, goalkeeper Walter Gamerdinger , immediately afterwards also center runner "Ache" Mahncke, was appointed to the North German selection - Mahncke in a total of 22 representative games - which won the Crown Prince's Cup in 1911, 1914 and 1917 and the competition renamed the Federal Cup in 1919 and 1925 . Incidentally, in 1919, on the occasion of his club change to Altona 93, Gamerdinger was one of the first players to be suspended from the association for illegally accepting benefits. From 1917 to 1921 the later HSV and national player "Ali" Beier also wore the black and white club dress; Gustav Schmerbach also moved to HSV in 1920. In the 1920s came with center forward Gustav "Guschi" Behn, the brothers Robert and Karl Croonen as well as Hans Rieper, Ernst Stahlbock and 1930 still Walter Wahn further north selection players from the Union ranks. By 1933, 19 Unioners had played a total of 75 games in the NFV selection. From 1933, Peter Thiele was repeatedly selected for the Nordmark Gau; in addition, Ernst Timm and, as the last Unioner in October 1935, Hunk were included. Kurt Stössel , who played for the Altona team until 1928, became a national player during his subsequent time with the Dresdner SC .

In the early years of the Weimar Republic, three former professionals from Makkabi Brno played at the crossroads: in 1922 right winger József Künstler , in 1923 goalkeeper Elemér Müller and in 1924 half-forward Ferenc Hirzer . The press judged Hirzer (1902–1957), Olympic participant in 1924 , 32-time national player for Hungary and once also in the North German team in 1924/25: “The Hungarian boy prodigy is a football phenomenon; We have never had one like this in Hamburg. ” The praised man only stayed in Altona for a year; In 1925/26 he shot Juventus Turin with 34 goals for the Italian championship title. Artist also played twice for Northern Germany; After his time at Union 03, Müller also moved through Europe - Hakoah and First Vienna Vienna as well as Olympique Marseille were his stations.

Jürgen Weidlandt played for Union until 1961, and from 1966 he played two seasons for Karlsruher SC in the Bundesliga . More recently, the Croatian international Ivan Klasnić , who started playing football as a student on Waidmannstrasse from 1984 to 1992, before playing for FC St. Pauli and Werder Bremen , became famous . Even Klaus-Peter Nemet , briefly Bundesliga coach of FC St. Pauli played during his playing days in black and white.

A constant during the Weimar years

Participation in the North German championships

Union 03 played in the top division of Hamburg just two years after it was founded and was one of the ten founding members of the Verbandsliga Nord in 1913/14. There they measured themselves against clubs like Hannover 96 and Eintracht Braunschweig for the first time on a national stage. The outbreak of the First World War prevented the continuation of this supra-regional league operation. In 1919 Union 03 was in the final round of the North German football championship, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals by a 2: 3 at Kieler SV Holstein .

In the season 1920/21, a north German league (in two seasons) was held for the first time after 1914; in the Nordkreis group, formed from the clubs from Schleswig-Holstein (to which Altona belonged politically, but not in terms of associations) and Hamburg, Union took fourth place behind HSV, Holstein Kiel and Altona 93. In 1923 and 1924 Union 03 was both champions of Altona-Hamburg and qualified for participation in the finals of the North German championship. In 1923 Union came after victories over Lübeck BV (5: 1) and Arminia Hanover (4: 3 a.s.) to the semi-finals, then lost to Holstein Kiel with 1: 5 and thus became third in northern Germany. This final round was preceded by a small scandal: HSV and Union were supposed to host a final for the Hamburg championship, but the Rotherbaum team did not play because they preferred to go on a lucrative friendly game trip. The Hamburg Association then declared Union 03 champion, but it renounced this title - the Altonaer did not want anything from the Hamburgers.

In 1924 Altona qualified with a 4: 3 over Rasensport Harburg for the points round, in which the north champion was determined that year; after two draws (against Holstein Kiel and Hamburger SV) as well as one win (3: 1 against Komet Bremen ) and one defeat (1: 4 against Eintracht Braunschweig ) Union 03 was again the third best club in Northern Germany.

In 1928 Union 03, which was the third-placed Hamburg-Altonaer Verband was allowed to take part in the numerically expanded final, failed in the qualifying round at Hannover 96 (0: 2), but then won the consolation round of the qualifying losers and was given the chance in a play-off game as second North representative to take part in the final round of the German championship . But Union lost this encounter 2: 3 after extra time against Holstein Kiel.

In 1929 one was in the "League of Ten" - formed without the permission of the North German Association (see Football Revolution ) of ten clubs that aimed to concentrate performance in North German football - third behind Hamburger SV and Holstein Kiel. But then there was also a championship final with 16 participants, which was chaotic. Union initially won 3-0 against VfB Peine , but should then play against HSV in the second round; the Hamburg-Altona Association protested against this, so that there was a rescheduling of the pairings, as a result of which Union lost 3-2 to Arminia Hannover. Then the sports court of the North German Association declared these rescheduling to be contrary to the statutes, so that the originally planned games had to be held. HSV had the upper hand against the "zero threes" with 3: 1.

1930 and 1931 were also in the intermediate rounds: in 1930 they lost after a 7: 1 against VfL Schwerin , as in the previous year, 2: 3 against Arminia Hannover; In 1931 a 3: 1 at Eintracht Braunschweig was followed by a 1: 2 at Bremen SV .

In 1932 and 1933 the "North German" was held in four groups, the winners of which competed in a final tournament to determine the champions. Union 03 was in Group 4 in 1932, despite victories over Hildesheim 07 and Phönix Lübeck, only second behind Holstein Kiel. In 1933 the final classification in Group 3 was again Holstein Kiel ahead of Union 03 Altona; behind it landed police Lübeck and Hannover 96.

International friendlies

After the end of the war and the dissolution of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy , the Hungarian Gyula Kertész moved to Altona, who introduced regular training at Union in 1921 - only very few German clubs managed to train themselves in this era, but if so, then preferably the British or men from the former Austria-Hungary. In 1924 the former trainer of Makkabi Brno, Gyula "Julius" Feldmann , worked for a short time at Zero Three before he moved on to Bremer SV. Kertész, who later coached SC Victoria and HSV between January 1931 and summer 1932, also organized numerous friendly matches against major European teams: in 1922, MTK Budapest FC played in front of a sold out house on the Kreuzweg, and in the same year the Prussian kickers traveled on one “European tour” to Dresden, Prague, Vienna and Budapest. They played seven games in eleven days, including a. against Viktoria Žižkov , amateurs , Hakoah and Sportclub in Vienna, MTK and UTC in Budapest. While they won 1-0 against Žižkov, the Viennese amateurs lost 3-1 after unconvincing performances and Hakoah 2-0: “The completely exhausted guests who played their fourth game in five days ... clearly showed that ... Kertesz did a great job. The understanding, flat game… deserves special recognition. ” Over Easter 1924 Juventus Turin and Makkabi Brno made a guest appearance at the Stations of the Cross, with a clear 3-0 draw against Brno. against Turin, however, Union 03 won 2-1.

(a) This “round of ten” was held “wildly” in 1928/29 by the nine most successful Hamburg and Altona clubs and Holstein Kiel after the North German Football Association refused to organize such a concentration of performance itself; The best placed of these teams were allowed to take part in the North German finals without further sanctions for their football revolution . The following year, the NFV renamed the regional leagues in "North German Oberliga"; but this continued to play in separate seasons until 1933.

Second division years

After relegation from the Gauliga (1936) - from 1939 to 1941 in a war syndicate with Rapid Bahrenfeld  - and again after the end of the war from 1947 to 1963, Union 03 played in the Association League (renamed the Amateur League from 1949) Hamburg, which until 1950 was divided into two, From then on it was organized in a group and also included teams from the neighboring Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein districts. In 1949 the Altona team reached 3rd place in the "Staffel Elbe", in 1951 they achieved this placement - which was not enough for promotion to the league - also in the single-track amateur league; In 1952, 1956, 1957 and 1959 Union 03 made it to fourth place.

In between, the history, the club knocked twice on the door to excellence: In 1938, he failed in the promotion round to Gauliga Nordmark at VfR 07 Harburg and VfR Neumünster , in 1958, he finished in the promotion group A to the Oberliga Nord behind VfV Hildesheim , Heider SV and VfB Oldenburg then only the last place. Five seasons later, at the end of the 1962/63 season, Union was ranked 16th in the Hamburg Amateur League; After 58 years of first and second division, this meant relegation to the third highest division, from which the club has not returned to this day - on the contrary: at times it slipped into the district class. In 1966/67 and from 1970 to 1974 Union played at least in the state league, which was Hamburg's highest amateur division at the time.

Cup participation

The North German Football Association announced a cup competition in 1924, which, however, was not particularly popular and was therefore discontinued in 1928. The former winners of the NFV circles, to which Union 03 did not belong in the four events, were eligible to participate.
Even in the Tschammer Cup and later the DFB Cup , the club never drew national attention to itself; This was mainly due to the fact that this competition was only introduced in 1935, when the Elf from the Way of the Cross had already passed their prime. And when he was revived in the Federal Republic of 1952/53, the Unioners were again only second class, especially since from 1955 to 1960 only the five regional cup winners were allowed to participate in the main round. Whenever a club from Altona put something in it, it was always the local rival from Bahrenfeld , who had made it to the round of 16 at least four times by 1975.

The greatest success for Union remained the multiple attainment of the qualifying rounds held up to 1973/74 on the north German level: 1954/55 (1-0 against the Bramstedter gymnastics club, 3: 7 against Holstein Kiel) and 1962/63 (1: 1 n.V. and 3: 1 against SV St. Georg, 0: 5 at VfL Wolfsburg ) the club made it into the second round; In 1956/57 (0: 2 against FC St. Pauli) and 1969/70 (2: 5 against Barmbek-Uhlenhorst ) he fell out in the first qualifying round.

Participation in the amateur championship

Union 03 took part in the first playout of the West German amateur championship (1950/51) as a representative from Hamburg, but was defeated by Heider SV 2: 4 in the preliminary round.

The handball players

In 1925 a handball department was established, which from the beginning was dominated almost exclusively by women: the 1st women's team rose in 1929 to the Hamburg City League, a regional group of the top division in field handball at the time. It was only at this time that a men's team was formed at Union 03 Altona. From about 1960 to the first half of the 1980s, the female handball players were among the strongest women's teams in the DHB .

Since 1996 the department has entered into a syndicate with Hansa 10/11 and the SV Police under the name SG Altona ; their first women's team competes in the fourth-class league, where they also play in the 2012/13 season.

League affiliation and achievements

After the Second World War , the women of SC Union 03 Hamburg developed into one of the strongest teams in field and soon indoor handball in Hamburg and, since the mid-1960s, in the Federal Republic of Germany; quite a few handball players came to international assignments (see below ) , from 1965 also at world championships . The girls of the club achieved an early success, becoming Hamburg champions of their age group in 1955; from this field handball eleven emerged the first of the later particularly strong women.

In 1968 Union won the North German women’s title and, after victories over Grünweiß Frankfurt and 1. FC Nürnberg , became German women’s indoor handball champion for the first time . It was unlucky for the Union that no European Cup was held in the 1968/69 season because of the political events in Czechoslovakia .

In addition to the national players Klüß, Milter, Müller and Ziebert, Becker, Bischoff, Debald, Kersten, Sorge, Stoffers, Vandre and Zylla were part of the successful team of coach Wolfgang Lass.

In the following year, the North German champions failed in the German finals after two extra games against the Nuremberg final opponents of the previous season. In 1972, however, Union 03 made it to the German final again and secured the national title for the second time after an 11: 7 win against record champions TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen . This time the women also competed in the European championship competition; the lot gave them the Yugoslav title winner - teams from the Eastern Bloc dominated European handball at the time and Yugoslavia became women's world champion in 1973 - but right at the start a particularly "big chunk": against Radnički Belgrade they were eliminated after two hefty defeats. Unions women were nevertheless voted German handball team of the year in 1972.

From 1976 to 1983 the women handball players belonged to the then not yet single-track women's Bundesliga . After their relegation, they played in the Regionalliga, the second highest division, until 1990.

Well-known players

Union's first German national player was Edda Dose (married Klüver) in 1960 ; she was followed by Sigrid Müller (25 internationals, 22 goals), who made her debut in 1963 as a 17-year-old and at the time the youngest national player, Christa Milter (35 internationals, 50 goals), Dörthe Klüß (married Sass), Sybille Tanck , Dagmar Ziebert , Irene Herchenbach and other.

Dörthe Klüß moved from Victoria to Union in 1961, still as a teenager ; from 1963 she was used in the league team, to whose determining player she soon became. In 1967 she was appointed to the national team for the first time - in this game against Yugoslavia , a total of six Union women wore the German dress. With 40 international A matches, two World Cups (1971 and 1975) and two club championship titles - apart from her only Christa Milter and Dagmar Ziebert were in both victorious finals - she was undoubtedly the most successful Altona handball player of all time. Until 1978 she also played in the handball Bundesliga . Like all Union players, she was an amateur of the purest water: “Incidentally, in 1968 we received something from the club for the first time: Each player received a pair of sneakers sponsored by Uwe Seeler . The club only paid the travel expenses later in the Bundesliga. ”In 2012, the NDR sports club reported on Gisela Straube , a member of the 1968 championship team, who was still regularly her wife at the age of 72 in the SG Glinde / Reinbek regional league team .

Others

In addition to football for men and women (the latter currently play in the national league and call themselves “the Unionitas”), there is also a “ lawn tennis ” department, which was founded in 1913 , and beach volleyball and bowling are also practiced. The hockey department in SC Union 03 no longer includes active athletes. With the creation of a “lawn tennis department”, the association wanted to enable broader sections of the population to practice this elitist sport in the then very densely populated working-class town of Altona. During the Weimar Republic there was also an athletics department , a water sports department (the club owned more than two dozen boats) and a singing department.

More recently, Harald Stender, who was born in Altona, was the top division record player of FC St. Pauli for many years as Chairman of the Honorary Council of Union 03, although he had never played for the Elf from the Cross.
