Viktoria Recklinghausen
Viktoria Recklinghausen (officially: Sportverein Viktoria Recklinghausen 09 eV ) was a sports club from Recklinghausen . The first soccer team played for two years in what was then the first-class Gauliga Westfalen .
history
The club was founded on June 4, 1909 as FC Auguste Viktoria Hüls . In September 1909 it became FC Auguste Viktoria Recklinghausen and finally FC Viktoria Recklinghausen on November 5, 1911 . In the beginning, Viktoria was purely a football club. When other sports were offered, FC Viktoria became SV Viktoria on August 6, 1913. In 1920 the Recklinghausen clubs were regrouped from the Ruhr district to the Westphalia district. In the very first season Viktoria was runner-up in the western group behind Preußen Münster . A year later, the team was Westphalian runner-up behind Arminia Bielefeld .
In 1928 the Victoria descended. As runner-up in the western season, the team had to play playoffs against FV 06 Osnabrück . A 2-2 defeat in their own stadium was followed by a 4-0 defeat in Osnabrück . Two years later, the rise succeeded. In 1933, Viktoria was added to the newly created Gauliga Westphalia as fourth in the table. After a seventh place in the 1933/34 season , relegation followed a year later as bottom of the table without a win. Until the end of the Second World War , the team continued to play under-class.
After the war ended in 1948, he was promoted to the district class. 1953 managed the Viktoria relegation only after a 3-2 playoff win over FC Erkenschwick . Two years later, the team was runner-up. Master Prussia Hochlarmark was denied promotion because of attempted bribery . However, the Victoria was not allowed to move up. Finally, Viktoria rose in 1957 after a 5-0 play-off victory over local rivals SV Wacker in the then fourth-class Landesliga Westfalen .
Two years later, the team was relegated to the district class and was promptly passed through to the district class. After a temporary return to the district class, the team rose again in 1971. At the same time, the association had to give up the Viktoria-Kampfbahn on Dorstener Strasse because of the construction of the Knappschaftskrankenhaus, which could still be used until the early 1980s. Therefore, Viktoria finally merged with SuS Recklinghausen to form SC Recklinghausen . In 1977 the Hohenhorst Stadium was opened as the successor to the arena.
The SC in turn merged with Eintracht Recklinghausen in 1981 to form 1. FC Recklinghausen , which was dissolved in 1996 for financial reasons. FC 96 Recklinghausen was founded as the successor club.
