Austria n football club fromMödling . The club was formed in 1997 following the merger of "VfB Mödling" and "SCN Admira/Wacker".The origins of the club go back to the formation of "SK Admira Vienna" in 1905. Between 1926 and 1939 this team captured seven Austrian national championship titles, as well as three Austrian Cups. Austrian teams were among the best in continental Europe at this time and several "Admira" players were part of the powerful national side commonly known as the "Miracle Team".
After the
Anschluss that united Germany and Austria in 1938 "Admira" played for several seasons in theGauliga Ostmark , one of the top flight regional leagues created through the reorganization of German football under theThird Reich . The club contested Germany's national final in 1939, losing 0:9 to "Schalke 04 ", which was on its way to becoming the dominant side in German football of the era. In the postwar period honours were harder to come by as the team earned only one additional national title, in 1966, alongside three more Austrian Cups.In 1971 "Admira" merged with "Wacker Wien". Formed in 1908 "Wacker" played in the country's first division continuously from 1914 to 1961, winning the Austrian championship in 1947. As "Admira Wacker" this combined side won the Austrian Super Cup in 1989. A combined total of sixteen titles marks today's club as the fourth most successful in the history of Austrian football.
The other half of the current club was formed as "SVg Mödling" on August 11, 1911 and re-named "VfB Mödling" in 1992.
