The VfL 93 Hamburg has approximately 2,000 members of the largest sports club in Hamburg-Winterhude . The greatest sporting success in the club's history was the German championship title in women's field handball in 1958. The club's soccer team played in the sixth-class Hamburg regional league until they retired in 2014 and in the district league since 2017. In badminton, VfL 93 plays in the Bundesliga.

history

The club was founded in 1893 as the Hamburg Free Gymnastics Association and in 1905 renamed the Workers' Hit Ball Club Unwearied Hamburg . From 1921 on, the club was called VfB 1905 Hamburg , before it was named VfL 1905 Hamburg in 1926 . During National Socialism, the VfL, known as the workers' association, had to be dissolved. After the Second World War, the club was re-established as VfL 05 Hamburg in 1945 and was given its current name in 1947. The greatest success in the post-war period was the German championship title in women's field handball in 1958.

Football department

Until the beginning of the 1990s, VfL 93 Hamburg played in lower amateur leagues. The sporting advancement began in the 1988/89 season, when the club won the championship in the District League North and rose to the state league. After only one season in the regional league, the club rose immediately to the association league. Here, too, VfL became champions straight away, but did not make use of their promotion rights. This changed in 1991/92 when the club was runner-up behind SV Lurup with a tie and the goal difference one goal worse . For the first time, the club was able to move up to the then third-class Oberliga Nord , which in 1994 became the Regional League North . The first year in the third division brought 11th place thanks to the better goal difference, which was needed to stay in the league. This placement was confirmed in the following year. In the new Regionalliga Nord, the club was able to assert itself in the first year with a 12th place. In the following season, the relegation to the league followed, whereupon the immediate rise again followed. In the 1997/98 season, for example, the club played again in the third-rate regional league, in which it had managed to stay in the league in purely sporting terms, but then voluntarily withdrew to the fifth-rate association league in Hamburg for financial reasons . The 1990s were the most successful period for the Borgweg footballers. This era was shaped by players like Otto Addo , Jürgen Degen , Bastian Reinhardt and many others. At that time, audience numbers in the four-digit range were not uncommon on Borgweg. In terms of sport, VfL was at eye level with northern German greats such as Eintracht Braunschweig (1994/95: 3-2 victory at Borgweg and 0-0 in Braunschweig; 1995/96: 2-2 in Braunschweig), Hannover 96 (2-3 defeat am Borgweg), Holstein Kiel (1994/95: 2-1 victory on Borgweg; 1995/96: 3-2 victory in Kiel and 0-0 on Borgweg; 1996/97: 4-0 victory in Kiel and 3 : 0 victory on Borgweg), VfB Lübeck (1994/95: 3: 3 on Borgweg; 1997/98: 1: 1 on Borgweg) and VfL Osnabrück (1994/95: 2: 1 victory on Borgweg). In its heyday, VfL 93 could not win the Hamburg Cup despite three finals. They lost in the final in 1990 and 1994 just after extra time against SC Victoria Hamburg and Altona 93 . In 1997 they were even closer when they lost to the amateurs of Hamburger SV on penalties .

Bernd Hollerbach led VfL 93 to the championship title in the Hamburg League in the 2005/2006 season

After the immediate relegation from the association and the immediate resurgence from the regional league, VfL first established itself in the tabular midfield of the association league. For the 2005/06 season, the club achieved a great coup: the long-time HSV professional Bernd Hollerbach was introduced as a coach on Borgweg. Under Hollerbach, the club reached the championship and promotion to the Oberliga Nord in 2006. Hollerbach then moved to VfB Lübeck in the Regionalliga Nord . His successor was the HSV legend Peter Nogly . In the first season in years in the league, it was enough for the Borgwegler only to a few respectable successes, such as the 1-0 win against SV Meppen and the 2-1 win at VfR Neumünster . Since the descent became apparent despite some respectable successes and a financial withdrawal of the main sponsor Schweinske, the club waived the license for the coming season, so that the relegation to the Hamburg League (Association League) was certain before the end of the season. In the end they reached the penultimate place in the table, but were able to reach the final in the Hamburg Cup, which they then lost 1-0 to SC Victoria, so that the club was denied the first DFB Cup participation in the fourth attempt . Ex-professional Daniel Sager , who ended his active career as a player at VfL 93 in 2007, took over as coach from Peter Nogly after the 2006/2007 season. In the first year, the squad, which was mainly composed of young players who had been trained in their own youth and which many traded as relegation candidates, was able to hold onto the league. In the 2008/09 season, the club then rose again, this time in the sixth class national league. Sager took over the coaching position at SC Concordia Hamburg and took many of the players from VfL with him. In the 2009/10 season, the club's sporting decline continued. As the bottom of the table in the Landesliga Hammonia, VfL 93 rose again to the seventh-class district league after 22 years. In 2013 he was promoted to the national league again. In the 2013/14 season, VfL 93 was instant champion of the Hammonia regional league season and was promoted to the league in terms of sport. A few days after the end of the season, however, the club announced its withdrawal from the upper leagues of Hamburg football and reported its first team in the 2014/15 season only for the district class.

The team promptly rose from this and became runner-up in the district league in 2017.

The reserve team of VfL 93 plays in the district league again after being promoted in 2009/10; it had its most successful phase in the years 2000 to 2007 when it played continuously in the district league.

Stadion

VfL 93 Hamburg plays its home games in the Borgweg Stadium, built in 1930 . Since the renovation in 2001, the stadium, which used to hold 8,000 spectators, has now offered 3,500 seats. In regional league times, high visitor numbers in the four-digit range were not uncommon. The most loyal supporters of the club are "The loyal 93ers" who, despite the sporty decline, are at almost every game. The stadium is located in the immediate vicinity of the Borgweg subway station in Hamburg's city park; it can be reached by underground line U3 or by bus. There are three training turf pitches in the immediate vicinity of the stadium. Another training ground is located on Meerweinstraße (since 2015 artificial turf, before that Ascheplatz). This is primarily used by the youth teams.
