History[edit]
Foundation and early years[edit]
Eintracht Braunschweig was founded as the football and cricket club FuCC Eintracht
1895 in 1895, became FC Eintracht von 1895 in 1906, then SV Eintracht in 1920. [1]
The team has a colorful history and it quickly became one of northern Germany's
favorite sides. In 1900, Eintracht Braunschweig was among the founding members of
the German Football Association (DFB).[1] It enjoyed success early on, playing in the
upper tier league, winning the Northern German championship in 1908 and 1913, and
placing three players on the Germany national team by 1914. Under the Third Reich,
the team played in the Gauliga Niedersachsen and managed two appearances in
the national final rounds. In 1942–43, Eintracht Braunschweig went into the national
championship play-offs as one of the main favourites. [2] The team under manager Georg
"Schorsch" Knöpfle had just won the newly formed Gauliga Südhannover-
Braunschweig with a record of 17 wins and 1 draw in 18 games, scoring 146 goals in
the process. After a convincing 5–1 win over Victoria Hamburg in the first round, the
draw saw the club paired with the other big favorites for the title, Helmut
Schön's Dresdner SC. Dresden won the game held in Dresden with 4–0 and
subsequently went on to win the German championship with an undefeated season. [3]
Post-war football[edit]

Historical chart of Eintracht Braunschweig league performance after WWII

As part of the denazification of Germany after World War II, the British

authorities dissolved all previously existing sports clubs in Braunschweig and demanded
the creation of a single, united sports club for the city. As such, Eintracht Braunschweig
was merged into the new club TSV Braunschweig on 2 November 1945.[1] TSV
Braunschweig finally took on the club's current name, Braunschweiger TSV Eintracht
von 1895, on 1 April 1949.
The club continued to play in the top division – now the Oberliga Nord – after the war,
with the exception of a single season (1952–53) spent in tier II. The side was touched
by tragedy in 1949 when goalkeeper Gustav Fähland died of internal bleeding a few
days after being injured during a game in a collision with a Werder Bremen striker.
[4]
 Another appearance in the final round of the national championship came in 1958.
Bundesliga football 1963 to 1985[edit]

Paul Breitner, Eintracht Braunschweig's most prominent signing during the 1970s.

Eintracht Braunschweig's consistently high standard of play and financial stability

helped it to become one of the 16 teams selected out of a group of 46 applicants for
play in the Bundesliga, the new federal professional league formed in 1963. Once again
the side enjoyed early success, capturing the national title in the 1966–67 season under
manager Helmuth Johannsen with solid defensive play. That championship team gave
up only 27 goals against, which stood as a Bundesliga record until bettered by Werder
Bremen in 1988.[5] Another ten players joined the national side from the team, mostly
through the 1960s and '70s.
The club was hit by tragedy again during the winter break of the 1968–69 season when
forward Jürgen Moll, aged 29 at the time, and his wife died in a car accident. Two
charity matches were played for the benefit of the Molls' children, the first featured West
Germany's 1954 FIFA World Cup-winning squad in the line-up of the tournament's final,
and the second saw a combined squad of Eintracht Braunschweig and rivals Hannover
96 take on a Bundesliga all-star team.[6]
The club found itself embroiled in the Bundesliga scandal of 1971, but with a somewhat
unusual twist. A number of players accepted payments totaling 40,000 DM – not to
underperform and so lose or tie a game, but rather to put out an extra effort to win.
[7]
 Ultimately, two players were suspended and another ten were fined.
In 1973, in the face of some opposition from the league, Braunschweig became the first
Bundesliga side to sport a sponsor logo on its jerseys – that of Wolfenbüttel-based
liquor producer Jägermeister. The move paid the team 100,000 DM and introduced a
new way of doing business to football that is worth millions today. Other clubs quickly
followed suit. Braunschweig's game against Schalke 04 on 24 March 1973 became the
first-ever Bundesliga match to feature a club having sponsorship on its jersey.
[8]
 Jägermeister continued to sponsor the club until 1987, although a later attempt to
rename the team "Jägermeister Braunschweig" was finally refused by the DFB in 1983. [9]
Eintracht Braunschweig just missed a second title in 1977 when it finished third, one
point back of champion Borussia Mönchengladbach and just behind second-place
finisher Schalke 04 on goal difference. The club made news after the season by signing
1974 World Cup winner Paul Breitner from Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 1.6 million
DM. Breitner, however, did not fit into the team at all and was sold to Bayern
Munich after just one season.[10]

Lutz Eigendorf

The side counted a casualty in the Cold War in the death of Lutz Eigendorf, who
fled East Germany in 1979, where he played for Dynamo Berlin, to come to the west to
play for 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Shortly after his transfer to Braunschweig in 1983, he died
in a motor vehicle accident which was revealed in 2000 as the assassination of a
"traitor" arranged by the Stasi, East Germany's secret police.[11][12]
The club played in the Bundesliga through to the mid-1980s having been relegated just
twice, playing in the second division in 1973–74 and again in 1980–81. During the club's
run of 322 games in the Bundesliga from 1963 to 1973, it set a record that still stands by
not seeing a single player red-carded.[13] In 1984–85, Eintracht Braunschweig was
relegated from the Bundesliga for the third time.
Decline[edit]

Regionalliga home game against VfB Lübeck in 1998.

Since the 1985–86 season, the side has played at the tier II and III levels, with the
exception of the 2013–14 season. In 1987, Braunschweig managed to set a mark even
as they were demoted; it became the only team ever to have been relegated with a
positive goal differential, with 52 goals for and 47 against. After having been stuck in
the Regionalliga for most of the 1990s, Eintracht Braunschweig moved constantly
between the 2. Bundesliga and the Regionalliga during the 2000s. At the end of
the 2007–08 Regionalliga season, the club was facing a severe crisis, both financially
and on the field: Eintracht was in serious danger of missing out on qualification for
Germany's new nationwide third-tier league 3. Liga, which would have meant
Braunschweig's first ever relegation to the fourth level of the German football league
system.
Recent history[edit]
With new manager Torsten Lieberknecht, however, who had only taken over the job a
few weeks before,[14] Eintracht Braunschweig managed to qualify for the 3. Liga on the
last matchday of the season. Moreover, under Lieberknecht and also newly
appointed director of football Marc Arnold, the club continued to steadily improve
throughout the next few seasons; a resurgence on and off the field that was widely
recognized by the German media.[15][16][17][18][19][20] In 2010–11, the team won promotion back
into the 2. Bundesliga as champions of the 3. Liga. There, Eintracht Braunschweig re-
established itself quickly, finishing the 2011–12 season comfortably mid-table.
The 2012–13 season should prove even more successful: on the second matchday,
Braunschweig took over a direct promotion spot and kept it for the rest of the season.
On the 31st matchday, the club secured its return to the Bundesliga after 28 years in the
second and third divisions with a 1–0 away win over FC Ingolstadt 04.
The team finished the 2013–14 Bundesliga season in 18th place and was therefore
relegated again after one season in the top-flight. Eintracht Braunschweig had spent
most of the season on a relegation spot, but had a chance to stay in the league until the
last matchday. However, the club was officially relegated on 10 May 2014 after a 1–3
loss at 1899 Hoffenheim. Eintracht came close to a return to the Bundesliga in 2016–17:
the club finished third in the 2. Bundesliga and qualified for the promotion play-off to the
Bundesliga, but lost 0–2 on aggregate to VfL Wolfsburg to remain in the 2. Bundesliga.
On 13 May 2018, Eintracht Braunschweig were relegated to the 3. Liga after a 6–2 loss
to Holstein Kiel.

Crest and colours[edit]

Colours[edit]
Traditionally, Eintracht Braunschweig plays its home games in the colours blue and
yellow. Those colours are derived from the flag of the Duchy of Brunswick.

1963–1964 1964–1966 1981–1987

Crest[edit]
The club's crest contains a red lion on white ground. This symbol is derived from
the coat of arms of the city of Braunschweig, which in turn is based on
the insignia of Henry the Lion. The club badge went through various different versions
during its history, most of the time however it consisted of a circular badge in blue and
yellow, with a red lion on a white shield in the center of the circle.
In 1972–73, Eintracht Braunschweig scrapped the original crest and replaced it with a
new design based on the logo of its sponsor, Jägermeister.[21] This was initially done to
circumvent the DFB's ban on shirt sponsors – a loophole in those rules allowed to club
to put a very close looking symbol on their shirt as long as it was the club's official crest.
In 1986, after Jägermeister stopped the sponsorship of the club, Eintracht
Braunschweig adopted a new, diamond shaped logo containing the traditional red lion
as well as the club's colours blue and yellow.
In 2011, the club members voted to return to the club's more traditional round crest. In
March 2012, the club then presented the new version of the crest, which was adopted
as the official logo at the start of the 2012–13 season. [22] For the 2016–17 season, the
club wore a special anniversary crest to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
club's 1966–67 Bundesliga title.[23]

Stadium[edit]
Eintracht-Stadion

Main article: Eintracht-Stadion
Eintracht Braunschweig plays at the Eintracht-Stadion in Braunschweig, built in 1923.
Currently the stadium has a capacity of ca. 25,000, during the 1960s it held up to
38,000 people.[24] Before the construction of the Eintracht-Stadion, the club played its
home games at Sportplatz an der Helmstedter Straße, which held 3,000 people.[24]

Supporters[edit]

Eintracht Braunschweig supporters in 2013.

Despite spending recent years in the lower divisions, the club's fan support has
remained strong: with 21,396 per game, Eintracht Braunschweig had the 24th-highest
average attendance of any sports team in Germany during the 2011–12 season. [25]
While friendly fan relations exist with 1. FC Magdeburg,[26] Waldhof Mannheim,[27] and
Swiss club Basel,[28] Eintracht Braunschweig has a strong rivalry with Hannover 96.[29][30][31]
[32]

Because of Wolfsburg's immediate proximity to Braunschweig, journalists often report a

rivalry with VfL Wolfsburg. Also matches between the two are often referred to as a
derby. This is denied by the fans of Eintracht Braunschweig as well as the Fans of
Hannover 96, who only consider their matches against each other as the only
true Lower Saxony derby.[33]
