History
The city's first football side, "Fußball Club Danzig" was established 18 April 1903, and by 1905 was playing as "Ballspiel- und Eislauf-Verein Danzig" to reflect the club's interest in both football and
ice skating . Between 1916 and 1930 the association was called "Verein für Leibesübungen Danzig" before again playing as "BuEV". [Grüne, Hardy (2001). Vereinslexikon. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-89784-147-9]The footballers were a prominent side in Baltenverband competition in the early 20th century, appearing in five league finals between 1908 and 1913. However, the team only came away victorious in one of those title matches when they finally defeated "
VfB Königsberg " (3:2) in 1912 after being beaten by that club in 1908 and 1909 (0:11, 0:1). "BuEV"'s regional title put them onto the national stage where they were put out in a quarterfinal contest versus "Viktoria 89 Berlin " (0:7).Following the re-organization of German football under the
Third Reich into sixteen top-flight divisions, "BuEV" became part of theGauliga Ostpreußen (I). They then joined theGauliga Danzig (I) in 1935 and captured a division title there, before being losing the overall Gauliga Ostpreußen championship to "Yorck Insterburg" (0:2). [Grüne, Hardy (1996). Vom Kronprinzen bis zur Bundesliga. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-928562-85-1] The club also made appearances in the early rounds of the Tschammerpokal competition, predecessor to today'sDFB-Pokal (German Cup) in 1937 and 1940.The team played out its existence in the Gauliga Ostpreußen (1938-40) and
Gauliga Danzig-Westpreußen (1940-45) as a middling side. "BuEV" disappeared with the end ofWorld War II when the city of Danzig and surrounding territory became part of Poland.Honours
