Eimsbüttler TV


This Hamburg club was once on the verge of greatness, but wasn't up to the task and are now obscure, at least soccer wise.

The Eimsbüttler Turnerschaft was founded in 1889, and after mergers with other gymnasts, by 1898 it was known as ETV. The soccer section started in 1906, and is wont with most gymnastics dominated, the soccer players had it rough. However, given the vast superiority of soccer, they eventually won out and things began to look up.

The glory years were probably the 1930s, as ETV challenged mighty HSV for preeminence among Hamburg clubs. The 1950s were relatively decent, as ETV played in the Oberliga Nord. Although results were modest, in 1949 they were averaging almost 10,000 a match. However, ETV was unable to adjust, and attendance started dropping. Things began down hill rapidly in the 1960s, and haven't really stopped.
