Bremerhaven , Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.History
The club was founded 1 June 1899 and soon merged with "VfB 1899 Lehe" to become "FC Bremerhaven-Lehe" which was represented at the founding of the
DFB atLeipzig in 1900. In 1917 "FC" merged with "SC Sparta Bremerhaven" to become "Bremerhaven-Lehe SC Sparta" until, in 1919, "VfB" left to resume play as a separate team.After
World War II occupying Allied authorities ordered the disbanding of most organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs. A combined Bremerhaven side was formed late in 1945 as "SG Lehe-Nord" which was re-named "ATS Bremerhaven" in 1947. Two years later in 1949 "SC Sparta Bremerhaven" re-established an independent club out of "ATS", followed by the re-establishment of "VfB Lehe" in 1953. "ATS" took on its original identity as "FC Bremerhaven" in 1992.The club's best recent appearances have been in the Regionalliga Nord (III) in 1994-95 and 1999-2000 and in the Oberliga Niedersachsen/Bremen (IV) through the late 90s and in 2000-01 and 2002-03. They currently play in the
Bremen-Liga (V), where they finished first in 2007-08 but were denied a Regionalliga licence.Honours
