Eintracht Duisburg


Founded in 1964 through a merger between two old clubs, Duisburger SV and TuS Duisburg 1848/99. Overall, DSV was the more successful of the two, winning several western region titles before the war, and playing in the Oberliga West till about 1963. (For more info on DSV, refer to the article in Essay section.) The merger was an attempt to salvage the collapse of both DSV and TuS, and forestall the rise of cross town rivals Meidericher SV (later MSV Duisburg). The result was failure, and soon Eintracht disappeared from the top. An excellent youth program seemed to keep things afloat for a while (eventual star players like internationals Rainer Geye and Rudi Seliger came out of the Eintracht youth movement), but by the late 1970s, the club was in free fall and vanished from view.

At present, the club struggles in the lower ranks of the amateur divisions, and it is difficult to see a return to the upper echelons.
