Eintracht Bad Kreuznach is a German football team from city of Bad Kreuznach, Rhineland-Palatinate. They are among the most successful amateur football teams in southwestern Germany and currently play in the Oberliga Südwest (IV).

History

The club was established as "Fußball Club Kreuznach" on 18 June, 1902 and later, in 1907 merged with "Sport Club 1906 Kreuznach" to become "1. FC Kreuznach". This side was joined on 19 August, 1932 with "Fußballsportverein 07 Kreuznach".

During the Third reich, the club played in the "Gauliga Mittelrhein" and "Gauliga Moselland", finishing runners-up in 1942.

"Eintracht Bad Kreuznach" played one year in the 2nd Bundesliga, which was during the 1975/76 season.

Nowadays, the club fluctuates between the Oberliga Südwest and the Verbandsliga Südwest, where it will play in 2008-09.

tadium

Until 1965, the team played in the Eintracht-Sportfeld Heidenmauer. The record attendance for this ground was somewhere between 23,000 and 25,000 for the first match of the 1950-51 season when they were beaten 2:4 by 1.FC Kaiserslautern

On the 11 June 1965 "Eintracht" opened the Freidrich Moebus Stadium which was initially certified to hold 15,000. This was increased to 20,000 but has since been decreased to only 10,000. In 2005 the city of Bad Kreuznach paid to replace the old wooden benches in the stands with modern plastic seats in the course of an unsuccessful attempt to win designation as a training venue for the 2006 World Cup held in Germany.
