The competition community company sports community Volkswagenwerk Stadt des KdF-Wagens or WKG VW Stadt des KdF-Wagons for short was a German football club from the city ​​of KdF-Wagons near Fallersleben (today's Wolfsburg ).

The club was founded around 1938 as a company sports association of the Volkswagen factory. At the end of the 1942/43 season, the WKG was in the promotion round to the Gauliga Südhannover-Braunschweig , the highest possible division at the time. There, however, the team failed as bottom of the group. Nevertheless, the KdF townspeople played in the Gauliga from 1943, as DFB President Felix Linnemann ordered the establishment of a separate Gauliga for East Hanover. Together u. a. with the previous Gauligists WSV Celle and MSV Lüneburg , the BSG was one of the eight members of the new Gauliga. They finished the 1943/44 season in sixth place. Due to the war, the 1944/45 season in Gau Osthannover was canceled on October 25, 1944, before the WKG VW came to another Gauliga game. In 1945 the competition community was dissolved.
