Victoria Hamburg

Victoria is one of the oldest and prestigious Hamburg clubs (well, it once was).

The club was originally started in 1895 by the schoolboys teams Cito and Exclesior and called itself FC Victoria. However, they became affiliated with Hamburger FC, and it wasn't until 1897 that they actually were a fully registered independant club. The early years saw good results, participating in the German championship as early as 1904, and winning the Northern Championship in 1906 (beating Eintracht Braunschweig 6-1). However, WWI seemed to extract a toll, and the club was not the force after the war.

During the Third Reich, Victoria experienced somewhat of a return to fortune, as they generally haddecent results in the Gauliga Nordmark, making the knockout rounds of the German championship in 1943.

After WW-II, Victoria was generally limited to the top Hamburg leagues, although they had occasional forrays into regional competition.

Interestingly, in 1987, several members left to form a club CD Espanol.

In 2004, Victoria actually qualified for the new Oberliga Nord, but decided to pass and go back to regional Hamburg play. They've apparently decided to avoid the travel expense of the Oberliga, as they declined promotion in 2007 as well.

Stadium Victoria-Platz-Hoheluft. Capacity: 8,000 (350 seats)
Built in 1907, this is one of the oldest parks still in use. The original capacity was about 6,000, and it was considered one of Germany's finest. Victoria built the nation's first Tribune (covered seating) in 1909, and was the site of the German championship in 1910. Subsequently, the facility has grown and shrunk, from an estimated 35,000 post-WWII to about 16,000 in the 1960s, down to the current level.
