STV Horst-Emscher

Another club from a district in Gelsenkirchen under the shadow of the mighty Schalke.

The club was founded in 1912, most of the members coming from local industrial and steel workers. Up until the 1950s, they occasionally gave Schalke a good run for their money, but things started going downhill rapidly by the 1960s. The only bright spot was winning the worthless German Amateur title in 1967.

In a desperate attempt to become a 2nd force to Schalke, STV and Eintract Gelsenkirchen merged for a short lived union 1973-78. But it was not successful on the field, and since the two clubs probably never liked each other anyway, they dissolved the union after 4 seasons. STV managed to keep all the good players and remain in the Verbandsliga. But it eventually came at a cost...

In 1999 the club was forced into administration, but managed to keep kicking. In theory the club was dissolved, but actually they managed to come out of bankruptcy. The main change was that the official name was changed to STV Horst-Emscher Husaren.

Heroes After WWII, 3 German internationals played. But they were not capped with STV. Keeper Heinz Flotho (1 cap, 1939, Osnabrück), Alfred Kelbassa (6 caps, 1956-58, Dortmund) and Berni Klodt (19 caps, 1950-59,Schalke)

Zeroes Not really a zero, but Günter Thon was on 1967 Amateur Champion. But he was unable to convince his son Olaf to stick, as the later German international (52 caps, 1984-98) went to Schalke - and then to Bayern! Obviously a lack of discpline in the family...
