Preußen Hindenburg was a German association football club from the city of Zaborze, Upper Silesia in Germany (today Zabrze, Poland). ==History== The club was established in 1909 as ''Fußball-Club Borussia 1909 Zaborze'' out of the membership of the fencing club ''Fechtklub Edelweiß Hindenburg''. On 23 August 1910, the team merged with other local clubs including ''Fußball-Club Viktoria Zaborze'', ''Sport-Club Silesia Zaborze'', and ''Sport-Club Zaborze'' to form ''Sport-Club Preußen Zaborze'' whose membership was largely made up of post office workers. They took on the name ''SC Preußen Hindenburg'' in 1915 when the city was renamed in honour of German military leader and statesman Generalfeldmarschall Paul von Hindenburg, and in 1918 were joined by the membership of ''Sportfreunde Hindenburg''.〔Grüne, Hardy (2001). Vereinslexikon. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-89784-147-9〕 The name of the club reverted in 1920 to ''SC Preußen Zaborze'' and then again to ''SC Preußen Hindenburg'' in 1934, reflecting the struggle between Germany and Poland over the territory of Upper Silesia. When the region was partitioned in 1921, Zaborze remained part of Germany and ''Preußen'' played in German football competition in the Südostdeutscher Fußball Verband (Southeast German Football Association). By 1923, the club had over 500 members with departments for athletics and handball. The footballers were a successful regional side capturing the title of German Upper Silesia in 1928, 1929, 1930, and 1931. They emerged as Südostdeutscher champions in 1929 and qualified for the national playoffs by defeating ''SpVgg Komet Breslau'' (7:3) before being soundly beaten 1:8 in an eighthfinal matchup versus eventual vice-champions ''Hertha Berlin''.〔Grüne, Hardy (1996). Vom Kronprinzen bis zur Bundesliga. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-928562-85-1〕 German football competition was reorganized under the Third Reich in 1933 into sixteen top-flight divisions with ''Preußen'' becoming part of the Gauliga Schlesien. The following year the club's name was Germanized to ''Hindenburg'' and they remained in first division play until being relegated in 1942. During this period the club earned three second place finishes (1936 and 1939 in the Gauliga Schlesien, 1940 in the Gauliga Oberschlesien), but was unable to make its way back to the national stage. ''Hindenburg'' played a final season in the Gauliga Oberschlesien (I) in 1943–44 before competition in the region was disrupted by World War II. The club played its final match in January 1945 and disappeared following the war when the area became part of Poland. The modern-day Polish club ''MKS Zaborze'' acknowledges links to predecessor ''Preußen'' through ethnically-Polish pre-war club members who organized ''Robotniczy Klub Sportowy Pogoñ Zabrze'' later in 1945. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Preussen Hindenburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
