History

The first FC Frankfurt is the successor to the East German Oberliga side FC Vorwärts Frankfurt, whose origins lay in Leipzig. Forward belonged to the Army Sports Club forward or its predecessor organizations and was closely linked with the development of the National People's Army ( NVA). This led alongside several name and coat of arms changes also mean that the army had athletes as the only team in the league twice in a different city " move ". All players and coaches of the club were given until the turn automatically a service level of NVA assigned.

1951-1953: Leipzig era

Foundation

Early fifties was the forerunner of the People's Police, the Main Administration Training ( HVA ), a sports association " forward " was founded, which was to serve on the Soviet model as a sporty " flagship " of the national armed forces. In a 1951 conducted HVA internal Championship to determine the best forward - team the Leipzig forward sports group won 9-2 against SV forward castle, whereupon Leipzig declared HVA football base and forward Leipzig for the 1951/52 season with no athletic skills was classified in the league. The sports group was given the new designation SV People's Police (VP ) Forward Leipzig. This name was mentioned for the first time on August 2, 1951 ( the exact founding date is unknown ).

First league - years

In their first season, the SV forward initially joined in the colors black, red and gold. The home games were played in the Wacker Stadium in Leipzig's district Gohlis. During the season there was the first name changes in SV forward of the main administrative training ( HVA ) Leipzig. However, the team only reached the 15th place and thus secured until late in the league. Then the following season led to a series of changes. In addition to the club colors ( the traditional red-yellow ), the name was again changed to SV forward the People's Police (CIP) Leipzig on November 2, 1952.

In addition, eight players were lured away from the more sporty assessed local rivals BSG Chemie Leipzig in the course of the season, but this drew the ire of Leipzig football followers after themselves. However, despite the reinforcements forward was no performance improvement. Instead, the club went from the big leagues from the fourteenth of 17 teams. Already the last games of the season were played in East Berlin's Friedrich -Ludwig -Jahn -Sportpark under a new name.

1953-1971: Berlin era

Delegation to Berlin

The delegation of Sport Association in the capital of the GDR had several reasons. For a forward was compared with chemistry in Leipzig not very popular. Furthermore Berlin should be represented in the league (which had already led in previous years to the controversial sport policy decisions). The residents of East Berlin league and league teams had the problem that many of the best players migrated by the then still open border to West Berlin clubs. Under such conditions, no East - Berlin club in the long term could compete with the clubs from the rest of East Germany. A permanent absence from Berlin clubs from the first division of the GDR, however, should be avoided for reasons of prestige. Therefore, the plan was implemented, with the delegation of Leipzig forward to establish a competitive possible team league with a generally " aligned resistant" squad of army personnel. For the season 1953/54, therefore, went to the SV forward the CIP Berlin.

A year later, another team of " uniformed forces " in Berlin with the SC Dynamo Berlin is installed ( in this case, the SG Dynamo Dresden to Berlin delegated). One reason for this decision could have lain in the fact that the army came to meet footballers do not have much faith after they had been to Leipzig only weak results. Dynamo Dresden contrast, in 1953 and 1954 champions third party had become.

In its first DDR -Liga season SV forward has been renamed several times again. The change on 27 September 1953 in Central Sport Club (ZSK ) forward the CIP Berlin took place on March 7, 1954 ZSK Vorwärts Berlin as the new name. With the new name and the new location, the team had more success and made ​​the comeback. Also, you could win the Cup against the favored Oberliga Motor Zwickau.

At this time, the team shuttled still continue between the training center and residence in Leipzig and the home stadium in Berlin. As this had a negative impact on performance, the location of the club during the season in 1954/55 to Strausberg (east of Berlin) was relocated. Players should also change the domicile, which is 16 players refused and instead remained in Leipzig. They formed there along with the remaining in Leipzig reserve team of the old SV forward Leipzig and the second men's team of SC Leipzig DHfK the crew of the newly formed SC forward Leipzig ( but which was delegated after the season to Cottbus and there took as forward Cottbus ).

Successes as a forward ASK

The relocated to Berlin players have been through half of the first team of the SC DHfK Leipzig reinforced (the other half went to the SC Dynamo Berlin mostly ). First forward but still belonged to the mediocrity of the league and occupied successively the positions eight (1954 /55) and ten ( in the transition Round 1955). The year 1956 marked a turning point for athletic forward, as it was sixth in the league and the final in fdgb Cup 1956 reached ( which was lost to the SC Chemie Halle- Leuna).

Was preceded by organizational changes again. In January 1956, the National People's Army had emerged from the CIP, the Army Sports Club forward was then established on October 1. On October 31, in the Berlin Central Army Sports Club ( Zask ) Vorwärts Berlin have been renamed. In February of the following year, the club was called then just ASK Vorwärts Berlin, bringing the most successful era of the club began. In the five seasons 1957-1962 the team always reached number one or two. Three times (1958, 1960, 1961/62 ) was one master and was allowed to participate in the European Cup of Champions. In addition, the ASK was sent in the first edition of the European Cup Winners' Cup as a representative of the DFV. A highlight of this time was the first round in the national champion competition 1959/60 against the Wolverhampton Wanderers that you won the Walter Ulbricht Stadium 2-1 before 65,000 spectators.

Renaming in FC forward

After you've become a third party in 1963 and 1964, fifth, followed in 1965, the fourth title. This could be successfully defended in 1966. However, again under a new name. In 1965, the football a special status in the GDR - performance sport was acknowledged was his intention in a targeted promotion of this sport. In its derivatives were next to Berlin mostly isolated soccer sections of the sports clubs in the district outsourced cities of the GDR to continue as an independent football club playing mode. When ASK forward the spin-off of this section was made on January 18, 1966, its name was henceforth FC Vorwärts Berlin. Also, the city rivals Dynamo was continued from 1966 under the new name BFC Dynamo as an independent football club. With the first FC Union Berlin also newly established this year ( previously TSC Berlin) the capital was eventually represented by three football clubs in the top flight.

In the following years until 1970, the competition was within the city surprisingly not from BFC Dynamo, who even briefly descent, but from the first FC Union Berlin. 1967 were the Unioner before forward in the table and in 1968 they won the Cup. However, in the 1968/69 season the balance of power from the forward view was put right again when you import the sixth championship and the Berlin Mitkonkurrenten landed in tenth (Dynamo ) and 13 ( Union). The following season the army footballer runner-up and the second time cup winners were.

Vorwärts Berlin was thus been the formative team of the late 1950s and 1960s. In Berlin, was well ahead of the team of Dynamo, which had been in 1954 delegated with greater hopes in the capital. With two exceptions, was forward in the table always in front of Dynamo and decided the direct comparison with 14 wins and eight draws and losses for themselves.

1971-1991: Frankfurter Era in East German football

Delegation to Frankfurt ( Oder)

On 31 July 1971, the club following a decision by the Department of Defense to Frankfurt ( Oder) has been delegated. The background of this installation were never stated publicly, however, is certain that the Stasi boss Erich Mielke has played an important role by convincing the incumbent at the time Defense Minister Heinz Hoffmann of the "necessity" of a dislocation of the association in the district town. This circumstance could be noisy guesses that the preferred Mielke BFC Dynamo ( Mielke himself was chairman of the sports club Dynamo ) should be built on the elitist capital club and they wanted to get rid of at the same time significantly more successful and far more popular local Rivalens with this measure. As part of the relocation of the FC forward in 1971 ascended to the GDR League team Dynamo Frankfurt was moved to Fiirstenwalde and played from now on as SG Dynamo Fiirstenwalde.

The last season of the Berliner FC Vorwärts (1970 /71) ended in mid-table. After all, succeeded in this season yet the advance to the quarter- final of the European Cup Winners' Cup. But the successes of the Berlin period of FC forward was never able to return it.

FC Vorwärts Frankfurt

The relocated FC forward played in the city or henceforth under the designation FC Vorwärts Frankfurt. After they had finished the season in twelfth and final non- relegation zone, the team in 1976 reached relatively unexpectedly the fdgb Cup final. This, however, was clearly lost 0:3 against 1 FC Locomotive Leipzig. In the season 1977/78 finally could no longer be prevented the descent. The FC forward had to join the DDR in league in their history for the second time after 1953. However, the immediate resurgence could be achieved in the highest league in the following season.

Beginning of the eighties witnessed the FC Vorwärts Frankfurt his sports resurrection, when he was able to qualify in three consecutive seasons for participation in the UEFA Cup. In addition, they reached the final again in 1981 in fdgb Cup, where to but again against Lok Leipzig drew the short straw (1:4). Moreover, there was in season 1982/83 with the runner-up the best-ever ranking of the Association in Frankfurt's era - significantly behind the former rivals BFC Dynamo, who dominated the league for several years.

At the end of season 1987 /88 FC forward had again in the second division. Again, the BFC played a significant role, as this on the last game sealed a 1-0 home win relegation of the Frankfurt guests. The defeat of the townspeople or preserved at the same time the second club from the capital, Union Berlin, before leaving already seemed to be sure.

Since 1991: The all-German football

Start-up 1991

With the end of the GDR and the end of the previous FC forward had come, as the NVA was disbanded on 3 October 1990 and it one of the Army Sports Club forward similar organizational structure did not exist in the environment of the Army, the one would be able to connect.

Last year the league in 1990/91, which during the season - due to the association - was to NOFV- Oberliga, previously just again ascended team then played finally in February 1991 as FC Victoria 91 Frankfurt. With the official foundation of the association under this new name of the game operation could be continued until the end of the season.

The primary goal for the season, qualifying for the 1st or 2nd Bundesliga, the former Army Sports Club failed, however, significantly - not least as a result of the dissolution of the NVA and the resulting personal and structural substance loss for the club. The FC Victoria closed the season as Table ( 14th place ) and thus not even reached the qualifying round of the Bundesliga 2, for which the 12th place would have been necessary. The association disappeared so finally out of sight of professional football.

Frankfurter FC Viktoria
