Early Years
The club became founded on December 19, 1909 by a group of disaffected young men from the Trinity Youth subsidized by the Catholic Church, in which they played football under the stern and unsympathetic eye of the parish priest of the local parish. The priest, Father Dewald, blocked himself at the door while trying to interrupt the organizational meeting that was being held in a room of the nearby pub, Zum Wildschütz. The founders were Franz and Paul Braun, Henry Cleve, Hans Debest, Paul Dziendzielle, François, Jules and Guillaume Jacobi, Hans Kahn, Gustav Müller, François Risse, Fritz Schulte, Hans Siebold, Auguste Tönnesmann, Heinrich and Robert Unger, Fritz Weber and François Wendt.
