Süderelbe

Sportanlage Kiesbarg sits in the Neugraben-Fischbek district of Hamburg, a quiet patch of land that the club has called home since the split from TV Fischbek in 1949. The pitch carries artificial turf and floodlights .

The identity of the team is rooted in that separation. When the football department broke away, it did so to carve out its own path in the blue and white colours of the parent club. After finishing as runners-up in the Verbandsliga Hamburg, the squad won both promotion games against Kickers Emden.

Promotion finally arrived in 2014, following another runners-up finish, this time behind Buxtehuder SV in the Landesliga. There are no major trophies gathered in the cabinet to distract from the daily grind. The youth teams, known locally as the Sharkies, play on the same surface, maintaining the continuity of the club’s structure.
