history
The football club was founded in 1921 under the name Sportklub Traisen . Most of the team members had their jobs in the fine steelworks, the largest employer in the area at the time. After the company had a positive attitude towards the sport of its employees and supported them more and more, the club was renamed SK Feinstahlwerke Traisen in 1936 .
In the 1937/38 season, the FSK played for the first time in what was then the Niederdonau district league, which at that time represented the second highest level of the Ostmark together with other divisions , but was not yet able to intervene in order to gain promotion to the Gauliga and only finished eleventh in the final accounts Rank. In the following season, however, Traisen finished fifth in what is now called the East District League.
After being renamed to BSG (company sports association) Traisen in 1940 , the latter played in the Niederdonau league in the 1940/41 season , which, in contrast to previous years, was not played in the championship but in the cup system and scored 8-0 over the SC Pottendorf surprisingly won the championship final against Baden AC . With a 5-0 win, Traisen was crowned national champion (then Gaumeister) for the first time in the club's history and with this success qualified for the promotion games to the top East Mark (Austrian) division, the Danube-Alpine region. There the BSG met the champions of Styria, Vienna and Salzburg, but had no chance in the games against Sturm Graz and Post SV Vienna . With a win in the final game against SV Austria Salzburg , the Traisen team reached third place behind Graz and Vienna. In 1943 the game had to be stopped due to the war.
After the Second World War , the club was reactivated in 1946 as a sports club under the name WSV Traisen . The football section achieved promotion from 1st class to the newly introduced II. League West in the following year. In 1953 the club moved into its current sports facility in the Schützenhof grounds. In 1967, for the first time after the war, Traisen was promoted to the Lower Austrian regional league and in the following years mostly switched between the two top divisions in the state. Today the club plays in 2nd class in Traisental.
