Football in Celle before 1945 [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The sporting roots of today’s TuS Celle FC go back to 1921 when the clubs SV Niedersachsen Celle and Celers Sportclub were founded. Both clubs had their backing in the local proletariat, while the city’s sporty flagship at that time, the SV Eintracht Celle rather had bourgeois-elite roots. In 1924, SV Niedersachsen and Celler SC merged Game association 1921 Celle . The team, which was referred to in the popular ver only, quickly played in higher play classes and was able to leave SV Eintracht behind for the first time in 1933. ^[first]

Even older roots showed Free gymnastics Celle on that was founded in 1899. This workers’ sports club was banned in 1933 after the National Socialists were taken over. None of the regular associations made it into the Gauliga Lower Saxony, which formed one of the highest play classes in German football from 1933. This was achieved by the WSV Nebeltrupp Celle, an association of the Wehrmacht. In 1942 the team made it to the Gauliga Süd Hannover Braunschweig and became champion of Gauliga Osthannover a year later after a restructuring. At the German championship, the military team was eliminated in qualifying against the later runner -up LSV Hamburg. ^[2]

Post -war period (1945 to 1964) [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

On October 17, 1945, members of the game association and former members of the Free Turnership founded the Gymnastics and game association Celle . Contrary to the German grammar, the association was called “the TuS” by the locals, although “the TuS” would be correct. TuS found its new home on the former sports field of the Free Turnership on the Neustädter Holz, where the stadium is today. In the early years after the end of the Second World War, the association benefited from the approximately 25,000 displaced people from the eastern areas of the German Reich. In addition, the TuS won some players in the fog force. ^[first]

In 1946 the Celler qualified games had to go to the newly created Oberliga Niedersachsen-Süd Dear, however, failed there at ATSV Nienburg and the Hanoverian SC. A year later, the TuS was one of the founding members of the Landesliga Hannover . There the Celler became runner-up behind SV Linden in 1949. The highlight of the season was the guest appearance of Hannover 96, where 4,000 spectators saw a 2-0 victory for Celle. ^[first] At the end of the season, TuS was accepted into the newly created amateur league Lower Saxony-Ost.

There the team caused a sensation and temporarily took over the lead in October 1949. A year later, the Celler with 113 goals were the top -hungry team in the league. Both times it was only enough for placements in the front midfield. Under coach Otto Schade, the TuS became runner -up in the 1951/52 season behind VfL Wolfsburg. Against the runner -up of the Weststaffel Eintracht Nordhorn, the Celler had to play decisions about participation in the German Amateur Championship. After a 2-2 in Nordhorn, the Celler lost 2: 5 in their own place. ^[3]

In the following years there was a break -in. At first, striker Günter Meyer ended his career before the TuS lost some top performers to VfL Wolfsburg in 1953. As a result, the team commuted between midfield and relegation battle. With increased youth work, the Celler caused a sensation in the northern German trophy in 1957. After victories over the first division clubs VfL Wolfsburg and Heider SV, Hamburger SV ensured that in the semifinals. ^[4] There were five eighteen -year -olds in the team trained by Klemens Heyduck. ^[first]

A lack of consistency in the performance ensured that the team did not progress in terms of sport. It was only from 1962 that the situation improved after the TuS was divided from the east to the west relay. Although the associated almost 5,300 travel kilometers for away games were a high load, the team reached third place. Since the runner -up, the amateurs of VfL Osnabrück, were not allowed to take part in the promotion round to the Oberliga, the Celler played against Leu Braunschweig for a place in the promotion round. Here the Braunschweiger prevailed. A year later, the TuS qualified for the single -track Landesliga Lower Saxony.

Between the regional league and Lower Saxony Oberhaus (1964 to 1985) [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The TuS successfully started the regional league season in 1964/65 and won the runner -up championship behind the amateurs of Hannover 96. In the following promotion round to the Regionalliga Nord, the Celler had to bury their promotion hopes after opening defeats at Olympia Wilhelmshaven and against TSV Uetersen. The team was more successful three years later.

As fourth in the 1967/68 season, TuS only reached the promotion round to the regional league because the third -placed amateurs of SV Arminia Hannover were not entitled to take a promotion. In the promotion round, the Celler fought a head-to-head race with SV Friedrichsort, which were defeated 6-0 on the penultimate matchday. On the last match day, the Celler made the climb perfect with a 6: 3 victory at SV St. Georg.

In the regional league, the team initially struggled and fought against the descent. The relegation in the 1968/69 season was only reached on the last match day. Although the TuS lost the game against VfB Lübeck in front of 10,973 spectators 1-2, but benefited from Holstein Kiel near Sperber Hamburg. ^[first] Only through the better goal quotient compared to Heider SV did the Celler secure the relegation.

Even a year later, the Celler, who remained 14 games without victory in the course of the season, had to tremble for a long time. Only after Hannes Baldauf took over the coaching position in 1970 could the TuS establish itself in the midfield of the regional league. When Baldauf the club again left the TuS in a crisis. The new trainer Emil Iszó crashed with the team that triggered an internal revolution. ^[first] At the end of the 1972/73 season, the Celler descended as the penultimate.

A year later, the team missed the newly created Oberliga North as fifth. In the remaining 1970s, the team played in the middle of the Landesliga Lower Saxony . In 1976, the promotion round was just missed before the relegation was narrowly relegated two years later. At the end of the 1970s, a Westeraceller mineral oil operated as a sponsor. Already in the 1979/80 season, TuS reached the third round in which the team became last.

In 1981 the Celler secured the championship in the league now called the league. The class jump was missed as third in the promotion round. Nevertheless, the team played a crucial role in the question of ascent. On the last match day, the Celler won 8: 5 against SC Urania Hamburg and provided the TSV Havelse to protect the promotion.

At the next season, the club signed numerous top -class newcomers, but only landed in eleven with the disputed team. As a result, the club had to save in the next few years and slipped off in terms of sport. At the end of the 1984/85 season, the TuS relegated to the Landesliga Ost as the penultimate and was only fifth class for the first time.

From the province to the regional league (1985 to 2000) [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Arrived in the Landesliga, the Celler footballers came in the shadows of the Volleyball Bundesliga club MTV Celle. The 1987/88 season became the turning point when Jürgen Rynio took over the coaching position and Franz Gerber became manager. Both led new structures to the club and brought some former professionals into the team. In 1988 the Celler only missed promotion to the association league due to the poorer goal difference compared to the second team of Eintracht Braunschweig. The class jump was made up for a year later.

As a promoted, the Celler were able to win the championship straight away in 1990 and prevailed in the following round of promotion. 5,600 spectators saw the decisive 2-0 victory over VfB Lübeck. After a seventh place in the promotion season, it rumbled a season later when coach Rynio and Manager Gerber caught and both were released by the board. ^[first] Gerber returned after a few days. The team pushed a winning streak in the second half of the season to fifth. Only one point was missing for a possible participation in the promotion round for the 2nd Bundesliga.

The DFB had denied the association for the 2nd Bundesliga because of its financial problems. The football department was then used as TUE CE FC independently, while the rest of the club now calls itself TuS Celle 92. ^[5] To achieve the 2nd Bundesliga, Gerber committed top -class players, but the team only reached midfield positions and fought against the descent for a long time in the 1993/94 season.

From 1994 the TuS played in the reintroduced regional league north. Thanks to numerous goals from strikers Hakan Bicici and Vladan Milovanović, the Celler became autumn champions in the 1995/96 season and finished third at the end of the season. Despite the great success, the season was DM 650,000. ^[first] At the following season the club wanted to give itself a new image and called itself in Fc that around. The old club name was again accepted in 1997.

The financial situation of the association remained bad. In the 1998/99 season, TuS reached sixth place. So that the association could continue to exist, the city of Celle had to commit itself to a guarantee of DM 300,000. ^[first] The 1999/2000 season was about the qualification for the two -track regional league, which was missed as fourteen.

Investments and elevator years (2000 to 2014) [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The descent to the Oberliga Lower Saxony/Bremen fell into a deep crisis. In the 2000/01 season, TuS barely saved itself to stay in the league. One point was the lead over the amateurs from Hannover 96. In September 2001, the association, which was indebted around 1.6 million euros, had to apply for bankruptcy. ^[first] The procedure ended positively for the association. Nevertheless, the team relegated from the Oberliga as the bottom of the table in 2002. At Kickers Emden, the Celler even lost 0:11. After the descent, the association had to apply for bankruptcy again. The insolvency administrator reported the team from the game operation of the Lower Saxony League. The TuS was only allowed to play again through a request for mercy. ^[first] The TuS relegated again as the bottom of the table, but in 2004 managed the immediate return.

After the narrowly achieved national league championship, the Celler struck TSV Helmstedt 2-0 and rose. The team was now able to establish itself in the Lower Saxony League and in 2007 only managed to stay in the league through the rise of TuS Heeslingen to the Oberliga Nord. At the end of the 2000s, the club fell into a new sporting crisis. In 2009, the Celler narrowly failed due to relegation in the league, now called Oberliga Lower Saxony. A year later, the relegation from the district league Lüneburg followed in dubious circumstances. Before the last matchday, the TuS was tied with that TSV Etelsen but had a six goals better goal difference and was on a non -relegation zone.

Celle won his last game against TV Jahn Schneverdingen 3-1, while Etelsen at MTV Moisburg won 8-0. ^[6] As a result, the Celler had to relegate to the district league for the first time, but managed the direct return through the relegation. As a promoted team, the team immediately took third place and reached the promotion relegation to the Oberliga Lower Saxony after the TB Uphusen was avoided. There, the Celler initially prevailed 3-1 against SV Bavenstedt and then 1-0 against FT Braunschweig and made the march perfect. In the Oberliga season 2012/13, however, the team did not get out of 15th place and would actually have relegated. Since the TuS Heeslingen was withdrawn from the league license and SV Holthausen/Bee and SC Langenhagen withdrawn voluntarily, the cellars remained in the class. However, the descent was only postponed. After a completely messed up 2013/14 season, the Celler descended back to the Landesliga as the bottom of the table.

Present (since 2014) [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In spring 2015, the board negotiated with MTV Eintracht Celle about a merger. However, the conversations failed. ^[7] The relegation was narrowly made in terms of sport. A year later, the Celler descended to the district league. On the last match day, the already departed team lost at the master blue-white Born series with 0:12. In summer 2018 the descent to the district league Celle followed. Two years later, only the descent, which was exposed to the Covid 19 pandemic, prevented the fall into the 1st district class.

Celle in the cup [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Celle took part in the DFB Cup three times, but only came beyond the first round. For the first time, the TuS took part in the 1980/81 season and met the second division club SG Union Solingen in the first round. After the game remained goalless, the Solinger won 5-0. A year later, the Celler met in round one on the Bayern league team ESV Ingolstadt-Ringsee and won 4-2. In the second round this followed after a 1: 5 defeat at the second division club Freiburg FC.

The last appearance in the DFB Cup dates from the 1997/98 season, where the TuS left in the first round after a 0-2 defeat against Bundesliga club TSV 1860 Munich. At the regional level, the Celler won the Lower Saxony Cup in 1981. ^[8] In addition, the team won the Lüneburg district cup in 1980, 1981 and 1989. ^[9]

TuS Celle FC plays its home games in the Günther-Volker Stadium. The stadium is located in the west of the city on Nienburger Straße (federal road 214). The stadium was opened in 1928 and offers space for 11,000 spectators. For security reasons and, above all, due to structural defects, no more than 4,000 spectators are currently allowed to the stadium. It is a pure football stadium without an enclosed tartan track.

On January 17, 1996, the highest number of spectators was recorded in a friendly against FC Bayern Munich with 15,000 spectators. In 2005 the final for the German A youth championship was held in Celle. A year later, Angola’s national team used the stadium for training during the 2006 World Cup.

The TuS Celle FC has always had a little fan crowd behind it. Currently (as of 2009), the number of spectators in the Günther-Volker stadium is between 200 and 300 spectators. In the regional league season 1970/71, the highest viewer in the club’s history was achieved with 6,430 spectators. ^[5] The club reached a number of spectators of 11,000 twice at championship games. On May 24, 1969, so many people saw the home game against VfB Lübeck. The home game against Hannover 96 of October 25, 1996 also took place in front of 11,000 spectators.

In April 2011, the then away game of TuS Celle FC at Germania Walsrode made headlines in North German regional media after the Celler fans with the company’s Ordinary Service Bodyguard Security were clashed. This security service is said to be close to the Rocker Group Hells Angels. ^[ten]

In December 2016, criminal fans provided the use of pyrotechnics when playing against the TSV Elstorf For game interruptions and the demolition of the game as well as a deployment of almost 30 police officers from the Harburg district and from Buxtehude. The game has been demolished at the police, so that a repeat game had to take place. In advance, crosses in and around the village of Elstorf were set up with the date of the game, which the minds already heated in advance. ^{[11] [twelfth] [13]}
