history [edit ]
early years [edit ]
The club began its universe in 1899 as a loosen, cozy group of football enthusiasts within the Hamburg-St.Pauli Turn-Verein 1862. This group did not play its first match until 1907, when they faced a alike side assembled from the local Aegir swim club. officially established on 15 May 1910, the club played as St. Pauli TV in the Kreisliga Groß-Hamburg ( Alsterkreis ) until 1924, when a separate football side called St. Pauli was formed. The team played as an insignificant lower-to-mid postpone side until making their first appearance in 1934 in the top-flight Gauliga Nordmark, 1 of 16 prime minister level divisions created in the re-organization of german football that took place under the Third Reich. They were immediately relegated, but returned to the top flight in 1936. Relegated again in 1940, St. Pauli re-appeared in the Gauliga Hamburg in 1942, and played there until the end of World War II .
historic chart of St Pauli league operation after WWII After the war, the club resumed play in the Oberliga Nord in 1947. A second-place polish in the 1947–48 season led St. Pauli to its foremost appearance in the national championship rounds. They advanced ampere far as the semi-finals, where they were knocked out 2–3 by eventual champions 1. FC Nürnberg. The club continued to play well throughout the early on 1950s, but were ineffective to overtake rivals Hamburger SV, finishing in second place in five of the future seven seasons, and going out in the early rounds in each of their championship-round appearances from 1949 to 1951. In the recently 1950s and into the early 1960s, St. Pauli were overtaken by rivals such as Werder Bremen and VfL Osnabrück, but finished fourth a phone number of times .
promotion to the Bundesliga [edit ]
In 1963, the Bundesliga – West Germany ‘s new top-flight professional league – was formed. Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, and Eintracht Braunschweig joined the fresh circuit as the top-finishers from the Oberliga Nord, while FC St. Pauli found themselves in the second-tier Regionalliga Nord. [ citation needed ] That year, the baseball club signed Guy Acolatse, who became the foremost Black professional football player to play in Germany. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] about a decade-and-a-half of frustration followed. St. Pauli won their division in 1964, but finished buttocks of their group in the forwarding play-off polish. They took their next Regionalliga Nord deed in 1966 and, while they performed far better in the play-offs, inactive failed to advance to the top-flight, losing out to Rot-Weiss Essen on goal dispute, having conceded two more goals. Division championships in 1972 and 1973, and runner-up finishes in 1971 and 1974, were each followed by promotion-round play-off disappointment. The success of the Bundesliga, and the increase of professional football in West Germany, led to the constitution of the 2. Bundesliga in 1974. St. Pauli was separate of the new second-tier professional circumference in the 2. Bundesliga Nord and in 1977, they finally advanced to the top flight as winners of their class. The team survived equitable one season at the highest level in the Bundesliga. The club ‘s return to the 2. Bundesliga Nord was besides ephemeral. On the verge on bankruptcy in 1979, they were denied a license for the pursue season and were sent down to the Oberliga Nord ( III ). potent performances that set the team atop that division in 1981 and 1983 were marred by inadequate fiscal health. By 1984, the clubhouse had recovered sufficiently to return to the 2. Bundesliga, overtaking Werder Bremen ‘s amateur side who, despite finishing two points ahead of St. Pauli, were ineligible for promotion .
“ Kult ” phenomenon [edit ]
The Skull and crossbones symbol on a garter pin. It was in the mid-1980s that St. Pauli ‘s transition from a standard traditional golf club into a “ Kult “ club began. The club was besides able to turn the placement of its reason in the dock sphere part of township, near Hamburg ‘s celebrated Reeperbahn – center of the city ‘s night life and its red-light district – to its advantage. An option fan scene lento emerged, built around left-leaning politics, social activism and the event and party atmosphere of the golf club ‘s matches. Supporters adopted the skull and crossbones as their own unofficial emblem. St. Pauli became the first team in Germany to formally ban rightist patriot activities and displays in its stadium in an era when fascist-inspired football vandalism threatened the game across Europe. [ 14 ] In 1981, the team was averaging small crowd of only 1,600 spectators, but by the belated 1990s they were frequently selling out their entire 20,000-capacity land. [ 15 ] The skull and crossbones symbol had constantly been associated with St Pauli ( the city quarter ) in one way or another. Hamburg fostered the most celebrated commandeer of Germany, Klaus Störtebeker, and the symbol had been used by the 1980s squatters at Hafenstraße. however, the matchless who should be credited with last bringing the symbol to the terraces is credibly Doc Mabuse, the singer of a Hamburg punk ring. As the legend tells, he first grabbed the masthead from a booth while passing drink through the Dom on his way to the Millerntor-Stadion. [ 16 ] In the early on 1990s, the media in Germany began to recognize the Kult -image of the club, focusing on the punk share of the fan-base in television receiver broadcasts of the matches. By this prison term, the media besides started to establish nicknames like “ Freibeuter der Liga “ ( “ Buccaneers of the League ” ) a good as the satirical “ das Freudenhaus der Liga “ ( “ Brothel of the League ”, literally “ House of Joy ” ). St. Pauli moved in and out of the Bundesliga over the course of the next twelve years : the baseball club was narrowly relegated to the Oberliga in the 1984–85 season, but won the 1985–86 championship and returned to 2. Bundesliga. Two increasingly strong years followed, resulting in forwarding and three seasons in the Bundesliga, from 1988 to 1991. Four seasons followed in 2. Bundesliga, and then another two in the Bundesliga In 1995 to 1997, before another rejoinder to the 2. Bundesliga .

Former logo Until 2010, the club ‘s most late appearance in the top-flight had been a single-season cameo in 2001–02. A win against Bayern Munich, the reigning Intercontinental Cup winners, led to the democratic “ Weltpokalsiegerbesieger “ ( “ World Club Champion beaters ” ) shirts. [ 17 ] however, the team finished last in the league, partially because the management did not trust the team which surprisingly won the forwarding in 2001, but rather spent the extra money from Bundesliga television contracts and advertisements on expensive but disappointing players. [ original research? ] After the delegating to the 2. Bundesliga, only a skeleton of the successful 2001 team remained. The 2002–03 season ended up in chaos, with the team fighting relegation ( ultimately in bootless ) from the very beginning, diverse coaches departing and early problems internal to the club. With the club about bankrupt again and the less-lucrative Regionaliga Nord ( III ) brood, the clubhouse began its fund-raise activities, the alleged “ Retteraktion “.

During the 2005–06 season, the team enjoyed unprecedented success in the DFB-Pokal, with wins over Burghausen, VfL Bochum and, significantly, Bundesliga sides Hertha BSC and, in the quarter-finals on 25 January 2006, Werder Bremen. Their 3–1 victory in front of a sell-out Millerntor herd, and their subsequent place in the DFB Cup semi-final, netted the club approximately €1 million in television receiver and sponsorship money, going a retentive direction to saving the club from immediate fiscal ruin. St. Pauli last went out of the cup to Bayern Munich on 12 April, going down 3–0 with a goal from Owen Hargreaves and two from Claudio Pizarro. Coincidentally, Bayern were besides St. Pauli ‘s opponents and dispatchers in the first round of the following temper ‘s cup. After success in the 2006–07 temper, the team was promoted to the 2. Bundesliga. After defeating SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the 2009–10 temper, the team secured forwarding back to the Bundesliga for the 2010–11 season. On 16 February 2011, during the 2010–11 temper and for the inaugural time since 1977, St Pauli defeated their biting cross-city rivals Hamburger SV aside at the Volksparkstadion courtesy of a Gerald Asamoah goal. The team, however, finished the domestic season in last target, resulting in their delegating to the 2. Bundesliga for the 2011–12 season. Since then, the club has remained in the 2.
