SV Warnemünde


Founded in 1911. They played in the Landesliga Mecklenburg, but were primarily just enthusiasts for the game. In fact, they didn't even have a real coach until 1929. The Nazis renamed the club VfL Warnemünde, and the Commies also decided on a rename: in 1951 the club was promotoed back into the Landesliga under the name Anker Warnemünde. The Commies then decided that name was not bureaucratic enough, so they became BSG Motor Warnowwerft Warnemünde, and in the early 70s, they made the jump into the 2nd division of the old DDR Liga.

The highpoint of 1997 was the visit of Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Cup. Unfortunately, there was no miracle, as the Bundesligists were merciless and won 8-0. But some 6,500 fans showed up in Rostock's Ostseestadion, so it was financially nice... After a brief appearance in the Oberliga in 1999, SVW dropped down into regional amateur obscurity, where they remain.
