History

The history of SV Fehmarn as it exists today began with the Männerturnverein (men's gymnastics club), founded on the island on 19 May 1879. After the occupying power, Britain, banned all sports clubs, sporting activity came to a temporary halt in May 1945. After the military government lifted the ban a few months later, the officials of the Männerturnverein of 1879 and of Fußball-Club Fehmarn 1912 met. For practical reasons, the two organisations merged and, after 14 January 1946, resumed play under the name Sportverein Fehmarn von 1879 e.V. Since then, SV Fehmarn has developed over time into a recreational sports club with over 1700 members, making it the largest sports club on the island.

Members are offered a variety of sporting opportunities, which can be found in the Sections area.
