History

Foundation to WWII

Logo of foundation club Hannoverscher FC 1896

Hannover 96 was founded on April 12, 1896 as Hannoverscher FC 1896. Their initial enthusiasm was for athletics and rugby: football did not become their primary interest until 1899. In 1913, they merged with Ballverein Hannovera von 1898 to become Hannoverscher Sportverein (HSV) von 1896. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Hannoverscher FC's colours were black-white-green, but they played in blue, while BV played in red. The newly united team kept black-white-green as the club colours, but they chose to take to the field in red, giving the team the nickname Die Roten (en: The Reds}. The team's third jersey is in the club's official colours.

Under the Third Reich German football was re-organized into sixteen top-flight leagues. The club played in the Gauliga Niedersachsen as SV Hannover 96 beginning in 1933. They made their first appearance in the country's final rounds in 1935 and sent representatives to the national side the next year. They won their first national championship in 1938 in what was one of the biggest upsets in German football history when they beat Schalke 04, the game's most dominant side of the era. The two sides played to a 3:3 draw before Hannover prevailed 4:3 in a tension filled re-match. In 1942, the team moved to the newly formed Gauliga Südhannover-Braunschweig. Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, commonly refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the firm control of the totalitarian and fascist ideology of the Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as dictator. ...

Reunification to present

The club suffered from money problems in the late 70's and again in the early 90's. Then, in 1992, Hannover put together an impressive run that would lead them to the capture of their first German Cup (DFB-Pokal) and help to set their finances right. That run included victories over Bundesliga sides Borussia Dortmund, VfL Bochum, Karlsruher SC, Werder Bremen, and Borussia Moenchengladbach, as they became the first lower division side to win the competition. Hero of the cupwinners was goalkeeper Jörg Sievers who saved two penalties in the penalty shooting of the semi-final and scored the last one himself. In the final he saved two again. The team's low point came with demotion to Regionalliga Nord (III) for two years in 1996-98: the fact that the fall from the second league came during their anniversary year unfortunately made them a laughing stock among fans of rival teams for years to come. Hannover made an amazing fresh start with a new team of hungry youngsters - many of them have later reached the national team (Gerald Asamoah, Sebastian Kehl, Fabian Ernst) or at least become Bundesliga stars, and 96 returned to tier II play in 1998, and to the Bundesliga in 2002 on the strength of a record setting 75 point season.

2007-08 Season

After just falling short of UEFA Cup entry in the previous campaign, the club sought to boost their firepower, signing Mike Hanke from VfL Wolfsburg, Benjamin Lauth from Hamburg SV and Christian Schulz from Werder Bremen. They showed omens for a strong season with impressive pre-season wins over Rangers and Real Madrid, and a safe passage through to the 2nd round of the DFB Cup, however losing to FC Schalke 04 in the 3rd round in extra time. Their opening six Bundesliga games only brought inconsistent results. The team put together a three match winning run after this, capped with a 2-0 win at champions VfB Stuttgart to surge into the top 6. After the winter break Hannover continue to slide down the ladder with some dissapointing performaces. The team has a slim chance of making the European places.
