history

Three predecessor clubs

At the garrison site in Celle, three soldiers' teams started playing in 1937 and 1938 . 1937 went Military -Sportverein Celle as well as the Air Force Sports Club Celle at the start. In 1938, the Nebeltruppe from the Nebel teaching and testing department was added, wearing the same color as the Nebeltruppe with burgundy red jerseys (with white trousers). Nebeltruppe was the name given to the branch of service of the Wehrmacht chemical warfare, among other things, the so-called Nebelwerfer served. The Fog Substitute Department 1 and the Heeresgasschutzschule 1 were stationed in Celle. All three teams played lower class until 1939.

At the start of the 1939/40 season, due to the war, an emergency round with two squadrons was played in the Lüneburg district, which were located below the first-class Gauliga at the time. The Nebeltruppe managed to win the southern season and qualify for the promotion round to the Gauliga Nordniedersachsen in playoffs against northern champion Teutonia Uelzen . There the Nebeltruppe clearly failed as the last beaten.

In 1941 the Nebeltruppe prevailed again in the southern season, but then retired in the qualifying games for the district championship. But another year later, the qualification for the Gauliga succeeded through successes over VfB Braunschweig and SpVg Hannover 97 in the promotion round.

Wehrmacht sports club

At the beginning of the 1942/43 season, the three soldiers' teams were combined to form the Wehrmacht Sports Club in Celle . In the very first season as a Gauligist, the WSV secured second place in the Gau Südhannover-Braunschweig, but with a clear gap to the champions Braunschweiger SV Eintracht , but ahead of teams like SV Arminia Hannover and Hannover 96 .

For the 1943/44 season, the Gauligen were reformed and East Hanover received its own league. In addition to the MSV Lüneburg , the WSV Celle was the second previous Gauligist, six second division clubs completed the season. As expected, the Nebeltruppe won the 1944 championship in Gau Osthannover in front of Cuxhavener SV and qualified for the final round of the 1944 German championship . There, according to tradition, the WSV, who was wearing a wine-red-black dress, was eliminated in the first round against the later runner-up at the Luftwaffe-Sportverein Hamburg . In front of 9,000 (or 13,000) spectators in Hamburg am Rothenbaum there was a clear 4-0 defeat on April 16, 1944. One of the players in the 1943/44 season was the later ten-time GDR national player Karl Wolf .

The 1944 finalists:

Heinrich Lipsius - Fritz Stahlmann, Heinz Bauer - Horst Dohm, Willi Peisker, Hans Schildbach - Paul Wolff, Karl Wolff, W. Schmidt, Heinz Fischer, Heinz Rennhack

The Gauliga Osthannover was divided into two seasons for the 1944/45 season. The WSV Celle belonged to the southern season, but could no longer play a game until the season was canceled on October 25, 1944. In the course of 1945 the association was dissolved. Some players like Heinz Bauer and Horst Dohm were later still active at TuS Celle .

Venues

The association for members of the Wehrmacht played in Celle on the sports field of the Seekt barracks or on the municipal Jahnplatz.
