The sports club Wacker Burghausen e. V. , known as Wacker Burghausen , is a German popular sports club from Burghausen and with around 5700 members and 20 departments one of the larger sports clubs in Germany outside of the metropolitan areas. The club colors are white and black.

The club was best known for the success of its soccer team. This rose in 2002 under coach Rudi Bommer in the 2nd Bundesliga and established itself there over several years. Because of the risks in relation to the non-profit status of the club, this led in 2006 to the spin-off of the professional football department to an independent corporation, Wacker Burghausen Fußball GmbH , all of which are held by the club. Since then, the first team has been called SV Wacker Burghausen Fußball.

In addition to the footballers, the wrestlers and tennis athletes of the club also gained national recognition.

founding

With the establishment of Wacker Chemie in Burghausen in 1914, the foundation stone was laid for the city's strong growth. The Wacker Burghausen sports club was founded on November 13, 1930, especially for the Wacker workers, and was primarily intended to serve mass sports. The first active-powered sports were football , light- and heavy athletics and the shooting sports .

History of the football department

The first club in Burghausen where football could be played was TV Burghausen. In 1922, however, the club's footballers split off and organized themselves into their own club, 1. FC Burghausen. In the eight years of its existence, it was able to look forward to its first sporting successes in the A-Class. In 1930 1. FC Burghausen joined the newly founded SV Wacker as a whole, where he formed the football department.

The first years: 1930–1943

In the first few years after it was founded, SV Wacker took off: The number of members rose from 111 to 428 athletes by 1934. In addition, from 1932 the club had the newly built sports field in front of the gates of the Wacker factory. So it is not surprising that the footballers achieved their first major success as early as 1934 when they were promoted to the district class , even if things went down to the A class again in 1937.

Even then, there were very good footballers in Burghausen. Eugen Kling , who was even part of the national team during his time at TSV 1860 Munich , made outstanding contributions to youth work. Sepp Lindenmayer is considered one of the best footballers who have ever played for SV Wacker. However, his career was interrupted when he was drafted into the Wehrmacht - a sign that the Second World War did of course not leave the SVW unaffected. In 1943, football games even had to be stopped completely, after having been limited to away games against teams in previous years whose seats were easily accessible by bike or train.

The new beginning after the war: 1946–1965

Immediately after the end of the Second World War, regular gaming operations were far off. The original venue had been converted into a prison camp and when the club got it back it was a desolate field. Nevertheless, from 1946 a men's team from Burghausen played again in the B-class and in 1949 they made it to the A-class. The youth soccer team of SV Wacker managed to reach the final of the Upper Bavarian championship in 1947, where they finally had to admit defeat to FC Bayern Munich 2-0.

The first team also celebrated further successes: in 1960 they were promoted to the II. Amateur League, and two years later it was against the namesake FC Wacker Munich for promotion to the I Amateur League. Even if the big favorite from Munich had prevailed here, SV Wacker was able to celebrate a rise three years later, in 1965. With the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, the leagues had been rearranged, and so it came to the promotion game between the champions of the two Upper Bavarian district leagues, SV Wacker and MTV Ingolstadt . On a neutral place in Trostberg , the Burghauser team under coach Otto Einsiedl was able to defeat their opponent 3-1 and thus rose to the Landesliga Süd.

National League: 1965-1993

With the achievement of the national league began a long period of sporting stagnation for SV Wacker. For a total of 23 years you belonged to the regional league, interrupted only by the five years from 1978 to 1983, in which Wacker was only to be found in the district league. Nevertheless, memorable things also date from this time: On April 2, 1967, 1. FC Cologne competed in Burghausen and on July 31, 1972 - for the inauguration of the new grandstand - even FC Bayern Munich made a guest appearance. At that time, a record attendance was set with 9000 visitors, which was only to be broken again in the second division times.

After the promotion to the national league in 1983, the demands had increased. With the Bayern League in his sights, manager Kurt Gaugler strengthened the team with ex-professionals like Peter Stocker as a player or Rudi Hannakampf as a coach. But the rise only succeeded in 1993 when SV Wacker was able to defeat direct rivals FC Gundelfingen 2-0 in the decisive final game of the season at home . The coach at that time was the former Bundesliga player Kurt Niedermayer , who Gaugler judged as having "made football acceptable in Burghausen".

The transition to a professional club: 1993 to 2007

In the second Bayern league season, SV Wacker succeeded in advancing again (1995), this time in the regional league , which at that time still had four tracks. The team was able to establish itself there without any major problems and sovereignly qualified for the new two-track regional league in 1999/2000. After this season, Niedermayer switched to Bayern Munich as a youth coach. He, who took over a mediocre national league team eight years ago, left his successor Rainer Hörgl with a regional league team of stature. But Hörgl was unsuccessful in Burghausen: When the team found themselves on the relegation places, he was replaced by Rudi Bommer before the winter break . Bommer, like Niedermayer, an ex-professional footballer, but without much experience as a coach, managed to stay with the team on the last match day with a 1-1 draw against 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 .

In the following season 2001/02 the SV Wacker took over the table leadership of the Regionalliga Süd early on. At the end of the season there was promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga . Thus, Wacker Burghausen had made it from fifth to second division within a decade.

Even in the first season of professional football you kept up unexpectedly well and never ran into serious risk of relegation. The relegation threatened only in the next season ( 2003/04 ), but with a show of strength at the end of the season, the class could ultimately still be held. Successful coach Rudi Bommer moved to the Bundesliga relegated TSV 1860 Munich after this season. He was replaced by Markus Schupp , the earlier the U-19 team of SK Sturm Graz had cared. Under him, the Burghauser team managed to stay safe in 2005 and 2006. On December 14, 2006, he was dismissed in his third season due to poor table placement and replaced by Fred Arbinger . But even this could not prevent relegation to the Regionalliga Süd. The new coach was the ex- Schalke Ingo Anderbrügge , who was replaced by Peter Assion in the second half of the season.

In the years of the club's second division membership, some young, talented SV Wacker players took their first steps in professional football and then moved to established clubs. Examples are:

• Thomas Broich : at SVW from 2001 to 2003; then to Borussia Mönchengladbach , from 2002 to 2004 U-21 national player
• Youssef Mokhtari : at SVW from 2002 to 2004; then to Energie Cottbus
• Stefan Reisinger : at SVW from 2003 to 2005; then to TSV 1860 Munich
• Tom Geißler : at SVW from 2004 to 2005; then to 1. FSV Mainz 05
• Nico Herzig : at SVW from 2004 to 2006; then to Alemannia Aachen

On August 6, 2007, there was a highlight in the club's history: Burghausen was drawn to FC Bayern in the DFB Cup . Since the ARD broadcast the game live, the club received a previously unknown level of attention. It was only on penalties that you had to admit defeat to the favorite.

Slow relegation: 2007 to 2017

In the 2008/09 season Wacker Burghausen took part in the new, single-track 3rd league , but could not keep the class with 18th place in the table. However, since Kickers Emden withdrew the license application for financial reasons, Wacker Burghausen also took part in the third division in the 2009/10 season and managed to stay in relegation with 17th place. On August 10, 2010, the commitment of Mario Basler as a coach was announced. The club landed in 18th place at the end of the 2010/11 season , which again meant that the league was not maintained and those responsible for sport originally had to start from scratch in the regional league. Because Rot Weiss Ahlen moved to last place due to insolvency proceedings that were opened in front of the Münster District Court on June 30, 2011 after all league games had been completed but before the official end of the season, Wacker had been able to avoid relegation for the second time in three seasons . For the 2011/12 season , Rudi Bommer became the club's coach for the second time. However, Wacker Burghausen Fußball GmbH and Rudi Bommer dissolved the contract in December 2011 by mutual agreement. Reinhard Stumpf was hired in January 2012 as the successor to the coach and sports director who had switched to Energie Cottbus . This received a contract until the end of the 2011/12 season , in which Wacker played for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. No team lost fewer games this season than SVW (seven) - with the most draws (18), however, they ended up in sixth place, four points behind SSV Jahn Regensburg , who should be promoted through relegation. After completing a comprehensive economic restructuring process by Wacker’s current managing director Florian Hahn, who has been managing director of operations and financial responsibility since 2009, the third division team managed to focus entirely on sporting tasks after the financial consolidation lay. In terms of sport, however, another low point followed in 2013/14 when the club was determined to be relegated early on. This time the Upper Bavarians also had to go into fourth class. For the first time in 19 years, the Burghausers were only fourth class.

However, the start of the 2014/15 season failed. Under new coach Mario Demmelbauer Burghausen was able to get only 18 points from 19 games and found himself on the relegation place to the Bayern League. On November 11, 2014 Demmelbauer announced his resignation due to unsuccessfulness. Finally, the black and whites managed to stay in the league with returnees Uwe Wolf in the coaching chair.

Under Wolf, Wacker Burghausen intervened again in the battle for promotion to the 3rd division in the 2015/16 season . Although they were already twelve points behind the Oberpfälzer after the East Bavaria derby against SSV Jahn, they were able to equalize this in the course of the first half of the season and took over the championship lead in the Regionalliga Bayern at the winter break. A series of defeats of four bankruptcies in a row ensured in the second half of the season that the Salzach townspeople had to return the relegation place to the Jahn. In the direct duel on matchday 29, a preliminary decision should be made: Due to the 0-1 defeat in the derby, Burghausen was five points behind Regensburg again. Despite a winning streak at the end of the season, however, this deficit could not be made up and so Jahn was prematurely confirmed as champions. Wacker Burghausen could no longer achieve the relegation and was runner-up in the end.

In the 2016/17 season , Burghausen never had the opportunity to intervene in the promotion race and played against relegation again. In March 2017, Wolf was dismissed as a Wacker trainer, and Patrick Mölzl from SV Kirchanschöring was hired . With Mölzl on the sidelines, Oberbayern crossed the finish line in eleventh place without any worries about relegation. After the return to the 3rd league was not apparent and the sporting perspective was missing, financial reasons forced the club to exit professional football in 2017. Another reason was the number of viewers, which had dropped to an average of 1,200.

Re-amateurized football department: since 2017

In the following season , Wacker did not get beyond a midfield position. In the 2018/19 season, Wacker always played in the first third of the table, but had nothing to do with the promotion battle. At the same time, the average viewership fell below 1,000 for the first time in 24 years, at 898.
