History of the football department

Gauliga Lower Saxony 1938/39

VfB Peine's predecessor was FC Merkur , which was founded as the first football club in the Peine district in April 1904. The club's colors were green and red, the colors of the city - probably out of gratitude that you could pursue your hobby on the Schützenplatze. The club joined the North German Football Association the following year and played in a class with, among others, Eintracht Braunschweig . In the 2nd class of the Braunschweig district, the first team became undefeated champions in 1906. In 1913, FC Merkur was entered in the club register, and one year later it was promoted to the 1st  district class . From 1917 to 1919, FC Merkur and Komet formed a joint association called Peiner SV Merkur-Komet due to the war , which resulted in almost 300 members. At the general assembly on January 5, 1919, this association was dissolved and the "Association for Movement Games" was re-established.

In 1920 VfB became runner-up and rose to the North German League together with Eintracht Braunschweig. In 1927 Peine won the South District Cup, which roughly corresponded to today's Lower Saxony Cup . The association has been based on its own premises on Ilseder Strasse since 1929. By 1933, VfB reached the finals for the North German championship three times. Hermann Stanze, owner of a local hardware store, got involved as a sponsor, chairman of the gaming committee and as a supervisor and supplemented the financial support from the Peine steel rolling mill. With his support, players from other areas of Germany came to VfB. For the 1932/33 season, for example, the club brought Ludwig men from FSV Nuremberg to Lower Saxony. At Stanze, the middle Franconian worked as a commercial clerk and played as an outside runner at VfB. After relegation in 1934, they rose again in the 1934/35 round in the Lower Saxony Gauliga and reached fifth place in 1935/36. VfB celebrated one of the greatest successes in the club's history in the 1936 cup competition when the team advanced to the round of eight after a 3-1 win against Hindenburg Allenstein ; in the quarter-finals, however, the Stahlstädter were defeated by the eventual cup winner VfB Leipzig 2: 4. After the Olympic Games in 1936 , Ludwig Männer moved to Hannover 96 together with Peter Lay .

After the war , VfB Peine played in the Lower Saxony South Oberliga . Here he just missed participation in the newly founded Oberliga Nord in 1947 ; behind the three teams qualified for the upper league TSV Braunschweig , SV Arminia Hannover and initially 07 Linden - after protests and canceled and rescheduled games, then Hannover 96 - Wolfenbütteler SV and Peine had to make do with a place in the association league in fifth and sixth . In 1950 VfB merged with SC Peine 48 to form the football sports association FSV Peine ; However, the old name was reactivated after just two years. Even as FSV Peine, however, the kickers managed to move up to the Amateur Oberliga-Ost , whose first season the Peiner finished in fifth place. In 1956 and 1957 VfB reached second place in this division. In May 1957, this placement led to the promotion to the league. Opponents were SV Union Salzgitter , SC Sperber Hamburg and the later promoted VfB Lübeck , which Peine lost in the decisive game. Only nine minutes were missing from the ascent to the top division at the time - in the 81st minute Lübeck scored the goal for the 1-0 victory at the Lohmühle . In contrast, VfB won the Lower Saxony Cup the following year . Peine also made a successful start in the DFB Cup competition in 1960 . He eliminated the top division teams from Hannover 96 and VfV Hildesheim and met the reigning German soccer champions , Hamburger SV , in the first main round . In front of the record crowd of 11,000 spectators, VfB was defeated by HSV with 1: 6.

From the 1962/63 season, Peine played in the Amateur Oberliga West; later in the Lower Saxony regional league , which VfB completed three times as Lower Saxony champions in 1975, 1977 (after a playoff against TSV Helmstedt ) and 1978 (again after a playoff, this time against Germania Leer ). 1980 to 1981, VfB rose twice in a row to the Braunschweig regional league . It was not until ten years later that he was promoted to the national league, but from 1994 a new crash followed, which led to the district class. In the 2006/07 season, the first team played in the Braunschweig district league. The B-youth rose in 2007 to the Lower Saxony league. In 2009, the first team, under coach Nick Gerull, rose again after 15 years in the Braunschweig regional league, from which they were relegated immediately. In 2010, the C-Juniors were regional league champions, but did not make it to the regional league at the C-Youth Lower Saxony Championship 2010.

The club received brief nationwide attention in February 2012 when it acquired a one-time playing right for former Bundesliga professional Aílton . However, this should only be used in a friendly game, but the game was initially canceled due to the weather. Three months later, Aílton finally came in a game against a Peiner district selection for VfB.
