VfR Neumünster


This club was founded in 1910 as FV Neumünster by dissatisfied members of several other local clubs. In 1924 it was joined by members of the soccer section of TV Gut-Heil Neumünster and became officially known as VfR 1910. Success was rather modest, as the club never amounted to much.

After WWII, VfR began the "golden age", as by 1955 they were playing in the top regional, the Oberliga Nord. They managed to finish as high as 3rd in 1959, behind Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen, yet ahead of such famed clubs as Braunschweig, Hannover, St.Pauli and Osnabrück. However, when seeded in the new Regionalliga Nord, things started to go downhill rapidly, and VfR completely disappeared from the northern professional scene.

In the mid 1990s, things started back up with promotion into the Oberliga Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein, and eventually entering the Regionalliga again. This stay would prove to be short lived, as the club was basically beaten down by mid season, but batteled on to achieve a few decent results.
