The Wolfenbüttel sports club from 1945 e. V. was founded after the end of the Second World War in September 1945 as a new large association in Wolfenbüttel . From 1948 the previous clubs were re-admitted, so that many members left the WSV and this was continued as a pure football club.
It was not until the 1970s that other sports were added with tennis, table tennis, gymnastics, handball, badminton and Wing Chun Kung Fu. In 1970, a success story began with the establishment of a women's team for the football department, which led to the 2nd Bundesliga . In 2002 the WSV merged with the MTV Wolfenbüttel .

history
1945 to 1948
The WSV was founded in September 1945 in the Hotel Kronprinz. 14 people attended the inaugural meeting. These included Franz Hüther, Erich Bertram, August Kleinschmidt, Fritz Liebold and Hermann Seuber as driving forces as well as Gerhard Dernedde, Karl Fricke, Hermann Kick, Emil Lipke, Erich Schlöttig and Heinz Ziehe.
After the end of the Second World War, all previous clubs were initially banned by the British occupying forces. In Wolfenbüttel only one large club was approved for the sport, which was not allowed to use a traditional name. Thus the new club was named Wolfenbütteler Sportverein von 1945 e. V.
Immediately one began to build a soccer team. This consisted largely of players from the (dissolved) BV Germania Wolfenbüttel and the Luftwaffe Sports Club (LWSV) Wolfenbüttel. The coach was Ferdinand Fabra , previously coach of the Silesian gau team and the Finnish national team as well as assistant to the Reich coach Otto Nerz . After negotiations with the English occupiers, the sports field on the Meesche was obtained as a competition venue.
There was no regular game play after the war. In autumn / winter 1945/46 only friendly games were played at first - u. a. against Hamburger SV and TSV Braunschweig . At the beginning of 1946, ten clubs from the south-eastern part of Lower Saxony agreed without a superordinate association to carry out a simple point round. These were TSV Braunschweig , VfB Brunswiek 04 / Rot-Weiß Braunschweig , Schwarz-Gelb Göttingen , SV Arminia Hannover , Hannover 96 , Werder Hannover , VfV Hildesheim , SV Linden 07 , VfB Peine and the WSV (see: District Championship League (British Zone ) ).
The first league game played the WSV on March 24, 1946 and reached a 2-2 draw at Arminia Hannover. However, the friendly game against VfV Hildesheim (final score 3: 1 for WSV) was included in the rating. At the end of the point round, the WSV took second place in the table and was also allowed to take part in the North German Championship, which was played in the knockout system. But in the first round they lost 1: 2 at TSV Braunschweig.
In the 1946/47 season you had to occupy one of the first three places in order to qualify for a place in the new Oberliga Nord, which began playing in the 1947/48 season. After a mediocre start, the WSV only achieved fifth place, despite a temporary increase in performance. So you had to play in the new Braunschweig Association League, the highest amateur class, in 1947/48. In this league, which was the second highest division nationwide, the WSV remained until 1964.
At the beginning of 1948, the ban on founding an association was lifted. It was also permitted that old clubs were allowed to use their traditional names again. For the WSV this meant that the big club broke up. First the athletes, gymnasts and handball players re-founded MTV Wolfenbüttel . Later the swimmers, table tennis players, cyclists and heavy athletes also went. Some footballers also left the WSV to re-establish the traditional Wolfenbüttel football club, BV Germania Wolfenbüttel. The WSV itself initially only kept the football division.

1948 to 1964
At the end of the 1940s there were further reforms in Lower Saxony league football. For the 1949/50 season, the amateur league should be introduced as the highest amateur class below the contract upper league . Accordingly, the 1948/49 season was again a qualification year, the first six places entitled to start in the new division. The WSV reached sixth place and was able to compete in the Lower Saxony East amateur league from 1949.
After a third place in the first year in the new class, the WSV 1950/51 was in danger of relegation due to a change in personnel. However, at the end of the season, 10th place and thus relegation could be achieved. Also in 1953/54 they fought for the league's whereabouts, which could only be secured in a decision-making round with the tied competitors FC Grone and Werder Hannover.
A more successful era followed until 1959. In these five years the WSV always landed between third and sixth place. 1955/56 the Wolfenbütteler were allowed to compete as third against the second of the western season in the playoff for participation in the promotion round to the Oberliga Nord. But the game against Eintracht Osnabrück in Bückeburg was lost 0-2. In 1956, the team was significantly strengthened by the engagement of striker Gerhard Gollnow. Gollnow, who came from Viktoria Woltwiesche and was able to record two appearances in the amateur national team in 1958, scored 30 and 29 goals respectively in his first two seasons for the WSV. In 1958 he moved to the upper division Hannover 96 , with whom he was also active internationally, including against Inter Milan . 1962 Gollnow returned to the WSV.
In 1956, renovation work began on the Meesche Stadium, which lasted almost two years. For the inauguration, the WSV played a friendly game on August 10, 1958 against the then top German team Rot-Weiss Essen , for which the German world champion from 1954, Helmut Rahn , was active.
In 1963/64 the WSVer played under the direction of the new coach Ernst Naab (active as a player at Eintracht Braunschweig ). With the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, the Lower Saxony East amateur league was only the third highest division. A year later, the founding of the Bundesliga also brought about reforms in the amateur divisions. Eighth place had to be achieved in 1963/64 to get into the new, single-track Lower Saxony state league . The WSV was only ninth and relegated to the fourth division.

1964 to 1980
In the early to mid-1960s, a team established itself that remained loyal to the club for years and thus became a real unit. In the Association League East , coach and ex-player Emil "Zucker" Lipke advanced to the top team in the first year. The WSV won the Lower Saxony Cup in 1965 and the championship of the Association League East in 1966. The championship showed a clear superiority with eleven points ahead of the runner-up SC Uelzen 09 . But the promotion did not succeed because the WSV was only third in the promotion round.
From 1967, under the new coach Rudolf Stolzenberg, the WSV played regularly in the top group. Only the 1970/71 season ended in 13th place, otherwise they were always in the top five. The rise in the national league succeeded in 1974 with a tight decision. After equal points in the group games, playoffs had to be played. In total, the Wolfenbütteler needed nine games until the promotion was certain. In 1976 Hannes Wittfoth became a trainer. In the following four years he led the team four times to fifth place in the regional league (or association league, as it was called from 1979/80).

1980 to 1991
In 1980 Ernst Menzel, a striker at WSV from 1968 to 1978, was hired as the new sporting director. In the following five years it only came in seventh place in 1981/82. Otherwise you were always among the top three and could each take part in the promotion round to the amateur Oberliga Nord. In 1985 the rise was achieved. Similar to the rise in 1974, it was a tight decision. The WSV were tied with VfL Herzlake . Both teams also had the same goal difference. However, since the WSV had scored two more goals, he rose.
In the initial phase of the 1985/86 season, the WSV were carried by the euphoria of promotion. After a 3-1 victory on the 6th matchday against the second division relegated and later promoted FC St. Pauli, they took second place in the meantime. In the final round, Wolfenbüttel was twelfth and thus managed to keep the league. In the following years you could compete against well-known opponents such as Arminia Hannover, Holstein Kiel , VfB Oldenburg or VfL Wolfsburg . In the 1987/88 season they also played against Eintracht Braunschweig. During the first leg on October 10, 1987, the record attendance of the Meesche Stadium was set with 7,000 visitors.
In 1989/90 the WSV wanted to establish itself in the top group of the league. In the first half of the season it looked like this goal would be achieved. After leading the table in the meantime, the team took fourth place at the winter break. However, due to bad luck with injuries, they were in danger of relegation in the second half of the season and ended up in 14th place in the table. Coach Menzel left the WSV in 1990 after ten years and moved to VfL Wolfsburg. He was followed by Wolfgang Grobe, a former professional from Eintracht Braunschweig and Bayern Munich . But the WSV played a bad season and in the end had to be relegated with just 33 goals in 34 games as third from bottom.

1991 to 2002
After relegation, a new beginning was started under coach Rüdiger Halbe. Several players from the first league years were brought back to create an immediate return to the amateur league. But the team was only tenth. In the following year, despite further returnees, they only came in fifth, so that Halbe left the WSV at the end of the season. He was followed by Wolfgang Ehlers, with whom the team was in danger of relegation, although with Uwe Hain and Peter Lux, two former professionals from Eintracht Braunschweig belonged to the squad.
On October 30, 1993, Ehlers was the first WSV coach to be dismissed for failure. After an interim return from Rudolf Stolzenberg, goalkeeper Uwe Hain was appointed player-coach on February 20, 1994. But in the end the WSV was penultimate and relegated to the fifth division for the first time. The goal of immediate resurgence was missed in 1994/95 despite 102 goals scored. On the other hand, there was unrest in the environment when coach Hain was dismissed on April 26, 1995 after a dispute with the board of directors. Hain's successor was his former teammate Peter Lux, under whom a year later he returned to the fourth division, which was reformed to the Oberliga Niedersachsen / Bremen in 1994 .
There the WSV did not get beyond the mediocre at first. But after the 1998/99 season ended satisfactorily with seventh place, those responsible wanted more the following year and had plans to move up to the regional league within three years. But after they were in danger of relegation again, there was renewed unrest. On November 26, 1999, coach Lux resigned after a dispute with the board. He not only signed a new coach in Can Vanli, but also seven new players. But since the start of the second half of the season was not successful, there was no rest. At the end of March, chairman Gero Henke was withdrawn from his confidence at a tumultuous annual general meeting . The new board of directors around Peter Obach immediately installed a former player as coach with Uwe Bohndieck, but the WSV only came in 13th, but should have come into the top nine due to the merger of the upper leagues Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony / Bremen fourth division hold.
After relegation to the Lower Saxony League East , there was a big upheaval in the squad. Only eight players from last year's squad were available to the new coach Hans-Werner Richter. Nevertheless, the newly formed team reached fifth place. But there were increasing signs that the club had existential problems. The economic operations of the first gentlemen were depressed and the youth work - for a long time the great figurehead of the WSV - could only be maintained with the help of gambling communities. There were hopeful merger negotiations with neighbor Germania . But while the WSV members voted for the merger with their long-standing rival at an extraordinary general meeting, the majority of the Teutons were against. The WSV found a new merger partner in the MTV Wolfenbüttel . But the big club with its 6,000 members was too powerful to merge in equal parts. The WSV was incorporated into MTV on June 30, 2002 and sports operations - also in the men's soccer field - have been continued under the name MTV Wolfenbüttel since then.

history
Women's football was officially banned in Germany until 1970 , even if there were first attempts to circumvent this ban. It was not until the fall of 1970 that the German Football Association approved women's football. The WSV was one of the first clubs that dealt with women's football. From September 22, 1970, the establishment of a women's team was planned. On November 10, 1970, the team consisting of 16 players was officially founded under the direction of coach Günter Kasten. Georg Weidner soon followed Kasten as trainer and division manager and continued the successful development work. In addition to the establishment of the women's team, the first girls' team was formed in 1976. The fact that the youth work in girls' football was as successful as in the male youth field was shown when the girls became vice-Lower Saxony champions in 1983.
The women were steadily improving. In 1988, the double was won in the district: the team around coach Rudolf Stolzenberg became district champions and cup winners. They established themselves in the Lower Saxony League and won the Lower Saxony Cup in 1994. In 1995 the WSV women became champions of the Lower Saxony league and were promoted to the Regionalliga Nord , then the second highest division. Meanwhile, the substructure of the women's department grew steadily. A second women's team was founded as early as the 1980s and a third team was added in 1993. The girls' division also grew to include three teams. The 90s were also a successful time for the 2nd women's team. Under coach Andreas Klingenhagen, the district cup victory was celebrated in 1998 and the district championship and promotion to the Lower Saxony league a year later. So two of the three WSV women's teams were in the 2nd and 3rd league. Until the merger with MTV Wolfenbüttel in 2002, the first team under coach Meike Berger established itself in the top group of the Regionalliga Nord. After the merger, they even managed to qualify for the newly created 2nd Bundesliga North in 2004 . After a season 2004/2005 held out in 10th place, the team set three negative records in 2005/2006 with zero wins, 20 defeats (in 22 games) and only ten goals and was relegated.
