The VfB Tilsit was established in 1912 German sports club from the same East Prussian city, now Sovetsk in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast .
history
In the 1930/31 season the club played in the Division League II North of the East Prussia district of the Baltic Sports Association . At the end of the following season , the club rose from bottom of the table in the district league, to which he belonged for three seasons. Due to the lower class playing time in the 1932/33 season, VfB Tilsit did not receive a starting place for the Gauliga East Prussia , which was newly introduced in 1933 , one of now 16 top divisions in Germany. For the 1935/36 season , he was promoted to the Gauliga, benefiting from the fact that the Gauliga was significantly expanded for this season and a total of 14 teams qualified for admission. After three seasons in the Gauliga, VfB Tilsit had to relegate to the second-rate district league at the end of the 1937/38 season , because from the 1938/39 season they wanted to determine the champion in a single-track division consisting of ten teams and refrain from the regional districts; a fifth place in the Gumbinnen district was therefore not enough and a resurgence never succeeded.
After the end of the Second World War , East Prussia was annexed by the Soviet Union . VfB Tilsit was - like all other German clubs and institutions - forcibly dissolved.
