history [edit ]

early years [edit ]

The baseball club began its universe in 1899 as a loose, cozy group of football enthusiasts within the Hamburg-St.Pauli Turn-Verein 1862. This group did not play its first couple until 1907, when they faced a like side assembled from the local Aegir liquid cabaret. formally established on 15 May 1910, the club played as St. Pauli TV in the Kreisliga Groß-Hamburg ( Alsterkreis ) until 1924, when a divide football side called St. Pauli was formed. The team played as an insignificant lower-to-mid table side until making their first appearance in 1934 in the top-flight Gauliga Nordmark, 1 of 16 premier degree 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 performance after WWII After the war, the clubhouse resumed play in the Oberliga Nord in 1947. A second-place polish in the 1947–48 season led St. Pauli to its first appearance in the national championship rounds. They advanced equally far as the semi-finals, where they were knocked out 2–3 by eventual champions 1. FC Nürnberg. The golf club continued to play good throughout the early 1950s, but were ineffective to overtake rivals Hamburger SV, finishing in second place in five of the following seven seasons, and going out in the early rounds in each of their championship-round appearances from 1949 to 1951. In the late 1950s and into the early 1960s, St. Pauli were overtaken by rivals such as Werder Bremen and VfL Osnabrück, but finished one-fourth a number of times .

forwarding to the Bundesliga [edit ]

In 1963, the Bundesliga – West Germany ‘s modern top-flight professional league – was formed. Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, and Eintracht Braunschweig joined the new racing circuit as the top-finishers from the Oberliga Nord, while FC St. Pauli found themselves in the second-tier Regionalliga Nord. [ citation needed ] That class, the clubhouse signed Guy Acolatse, who became the first Black professional football player to play in Germany. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] closely a decade-and-a-half of frustration followed. St. Pauli won their division in 1964, but finished bottom of their group in the promotion play-off cycle. They took their following Regionalliga Nord title 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 remainder, 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 formation of the 2. Bundesliga in 1974. St. Pauli was separate of the new second-tier professional circuit in the 2. Bundesliga Nord and in 1977, they last advanced to the top fledge as winners of their division. The team survived just one season at the highest level in the Bundesliga. The club ‘s recurrence to the 2. Bundesliga Nord was besides ephemeral. On the brink on bankruptcy in 1979, they were denied a license for the pursuit season and were sent polish to the Oberliga Nord ( III ). strong performances that set the team atop that part in 1981 and 1983 were marred by poor fiscal health. By 1984, the club 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 assistant flag. It was in the mid-1980s that St. Pauli ‘s transition from a standard traditional club into a “ Kult “ club began. The club was besides able to turn the location of its establish in the dock area part of town, near Hamburg ‘s celebrated Reeperbahn – center of the city ‘s night life and its red-light district – to its advantage. An alternative winnow picture slowly emerged, built around left-leaning politics, sociable activism and the event and party atmosphere of the 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 nationalist activities and displays in its stadium in an era when fascist-inspired football vandalism threatened the crippled across Europe. [ 14 ] In 1981, the team was averaging small crowd of entirely 1,600 spectators, but by the former 1990s they were frequently selling out their integral 20,000-capacity reason. [ 15 ] The skull and crossbones symbol had always been associated with St Pauli ( the city stern ) in one room or another. Hamburg fostered the most celebrated plagiarist of Germany, Klaus Störtebeker, and the symbol had been used by the 1980s squatters at Hafenstraße. however, the one who should be credited with finally bringing the symbol to the terraces is probably Doc Mabuse, the singer of a Hamburg punk rock band. As the caption tells, he first grabbed the masthead from a carrel while passing drunk through the Dom on his way to the Millerntor-Stadion. [ 16 ] In the early 1990s, the media in Germany began to recognize the Kult -image of the club, focusing on the hood part of the fan-base in television receiver broadcasts of the matches. By this clock, the media besides started to establish nicknames like “ Freibeuter der Liga “ ( “ Buccaneers of the League ” ) a well 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 following twelve years : the clubhouse was narrowly relegated to the Oberliga in the 1984–85 season, but won the 1985–86 championship and returned to 2. Bundesliga. Two increasingly potent 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 come back to the 2. Bundesliga .

Into the new millennium [edit ]

Former logo Until 2010, the club ‘s most holocene 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 popular “ 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 relegation to the 2. Bundesliga, lone a skeleton of the successful 2001 team remained. The 2002–03 season ended up in chaos, with the team fighting relegation ( ultimately in conceited ) from the identical beginning, diverse coaches departing and other problems internal to the club. With the club about bankrupt again and the less-lucrative Regionaliga Nord ( III ) loom, the cabaret began its fund-raise activities, the alleged “ Retteraktion “. They printed t-shirts with the club ‘s crest surrounded by the news Retter ( “ rescuer/saviour ” ) and more than 140,000 were sold within six weeks. They besides organized a lucrative benefit game, against Bayern Munich, to raise funds to save the club. The golf club has besides been active in terms of jacob’s ladder and in 2005 the clubhouse, the team and the fans initiated the Viva victimize Agua de Sankt Pauli political campaign, which collects money for water-dispensers for schools in Cuba, for clean water in Rwanda et cetera. During the 2005–06 season, the team enjoyed unprecedented success in the DFB-Pokal, with wins over Burghausen, VfL Bochum and, importantly, Bundesliga sides Hertha BSC and, in the quarter-finals on 25 January 2006, Werder Bremen. Their 3–1 victory in battlefront of a sell-out Millerntor crowd, and their subsequent home in the DFB Cup semi-final, netted the club approximately €1 million in television receiver and sponsorship money, going a long means to saving the clubhouse from immediate fiscal dilapidation. St. Pauli ultimately 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 foremost round of golf of the following season ‘s cup. After success in the 2006–07 season, the team was promoted to the 2. Bundesliga. After defeating SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the 2009–10 season, the team secured promotion back to the Bundesliga for the 2010–11 season. On 16 February 2011, during the 2010–11 season and for the first time since 1977, St Pauli defeated their bitter cross-city rivals Hamburger SV away at the Volksparkstadion courtesy of a Gerald Asamoah goal. The team, however, finished the domestic temper in final place, resulting in their delegating to the 2. Bundesliga for the 2011–12 season. Since then, the cabaret has remained in the 2. Bundesliga, finishing fourth in 2011–12 but declining in results since then .
