KS Gedania Danzig was an ethnically Polish football club formed in 1922 in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). Gedania is a Latinized version of the name of the city.

History

The association was founded as a sports club 15 September 1922, with a football department being formed in 1931. Just two years later, in 1933, Gedania was competing in Germany's Gauliga Ostpreußen, one of sixteen top flight divisions formed in the re-organization of the country's football competition under the Third Reich. The team enjoyed only moderate success, finishing second in what had become the Gauliga Danzig (I) in 1936-37 and 1937-38, before delivering poor performances in the playoff round of the combined Gauliga Ostpreußen in both seasons. [Grüne, Hardy (1996). Vom Kronprinzen bis zur Bundesliga. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-928562-85-1]

The club disappeared following the 1938-39 season with the onset of World War II when German forces invaded Poland. The ethnically Polish side was regarded as politically unpalatable to the Nazi regime and was disbanded. [Grüne, Hardy (2001). Vereinslexikon. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-89784-147-9]

A modern day Polish club was re-established after the war and lays claim to the heritage of the original side, playing as "Gedania Gdańsk". In addition to fielding a football side in tier IV play, the club has sections for volleyball and rowing.
