Harburger TB 1865 is a German sports club in Heimfeld, Hamburg, Germany.

History

Harburg TB was founded on 6 September 1865[1] through the merger of Harburg Turnerschaft 1858 and Männerturnvereins 1861 Harburg.[2] [3] In 1883, Männer Turnverein 1883 Harburg (MTV 1883) split from the club. FC Schwarz-Weiß 1924 Harburg then split off from Harburg TB as well. In 1907, Harburg TB acquired their field, the Jahnhöhe.[4]

Walter Risse was hired to the manage the club after the 1948–49 season as the team were getting ready to play in the first division for the first time. He helped lead the club to a big win over Itzehoer SV, in front of 20,000 fans. Thanks to a donor, the team was able to improve their facilities and built their first locker room at this time. Harburg's Jahnhöhe field was not suitable for the first division though and the team had to play in Viktoria Harburg's, Stadion Winsener Straße field instead. Harburg's first season in the top division was unsuccessful as the team came in last place and were demoted.[5]

The team lost many players due to its demotion but re-built and headed back to the Oberliga Nord for the 1952–53 season. They had to play at Stadion Winsener Straße again, but were able to avoid demotion and gained some increased fan support. The team was then relegated from the Oberliga Nord in 1954–55, and has not seen first division play since. The team came close in 1956, 1959, 1960 and 1961 but lost in the promotion playoffs.

They won the Amateurliga Hamburg in 1960–61 but had dropped to the 3rd division in 1963–64 due to the creation of the Bundesliga. The team nearly merged with Turnerschaft Harburg to create a team called SC Phoenix von 1865, but the merge was cancelled.

The club was demoted to the 5th division by the 1974–75 season. The football section of the club started receiving less funding and the team could not get past the 4th and 5th divisions. The team withdrew from the Oberliga in 2000 and by 2003, had chosen to compete in the 8th division. The club renovated their facilities in 2008 and renamed their field, the Sportpark Jahnhöhe.

In 2019 the club's facilities were renovated for energy efficiency, adding a solar power system, LED lighting, thermal insulation, rainwater storage tanks, batteries, and geothermal heat pumps.[6] The renovation reduced annual costs for gas from €50,000 to about €12,000 and for electricity from €5,000 to €2,000.[6]

As of 2023, the team competes in the Landesliga Staffel.
