Turn- und Sportverein München von 1860, commonly known as TSV 1860 München (German pronunciation: [ˌteːʔɛsˈfaʊ ˌʔaxtseːnˈhʊndɐt ˈzɛçtsɪç ˈmʏnçn̩]; sechzig locally [ˈzɛçtsɪk]; lettered as Achtzehnhundertsechzig München) or 1860 Munich, is a sports club based in Munich. The club's football team currently plays in the 3. Liga, the third tier of German football.

1860 Munich was one of the founding members of the Bundesliga in 1963, becoming West German champions in 1966, and played a total of 20 seasons in the top flight. Since their relegation from the 2. Bundesliga, 1860 Munich play their home games at the Grünwalder Stadion.

History

[edit]

Origins of the club

[edit]

The roots of the TSV's founding as a physical fitness and gymnastics association go back to a meeting held 15 July 1848 in a local pub, Buttlesche Brauerei zum Bayerischen Löwen. It was a time of revolutionary foment due to the 1848 Revolutions, and the club was banned in 1849 by the Bavarian monarchy for "republican activities".[citation needed] The club was formally reestablished on 17 May 1860 and after mergers with a number of other local associations in 1862 was known as Turnverein München. A football department was created on 6 March 1899 and played its first matches against other squads three years later. On 13 March 1880 the club officially adopted the lion on their crest and the nickname Die Löwen (the Lions).[1]

1900–1945

[edit]

In 1919 was renamed TSV München 1860. By the mid-1920s, they were playing football in the country's upper leagues, like the Bezirksliga Bayern, making a national semi-final appearance in 1927.[citation needed] Die Löwen challenged for the championship in 1931, but lost a 3–2 decider to Hertha BSC.[citation needed] Two years later, they made another semi-final appearance which they lost to Schalke 04.

In 1933, German football was re-organized under the Third Reich into 16 top-flight divisions known as Gauligen. TSV joined the Gauliga Bayern where they earned second-place finishes in 1934, 1938, and 1939 before finally winning a division championship in 1941.[citation needed] Their subsequent play-off appearance saw them finish second in their pool to finalist Rapid Wien.[citation needed] The following season they did not advance to the national play-off rounds, but did earn their first major honours by defeating Schalke 04 to win the Tschammerpokal, known today as the DFB-Pokal. TSV returned to the national play-offs again in 1943, progressing to the quarter-finals.

Post war

[edit]

After World War II, 1860 played in the top flight Oberliga Süd as a mid-table side, but were relegated in 1955–56 after finishing last.[2] 1860 returned to the Oberliga Süd in 1957-58 where they stayed until winning the league championship in 1963. By becoming champions, 1860 gained automatic entry into Germany's new professional league, the Bundesliga, ahead of rivals Bayern Munich, who would have to wait two seasons for their own top flight debut since the German Football Association (DFB) did not want two teams from the same city in the new league. Through the mid-1960s, 1860 won their second DFB-Pokal in 1964 and played the 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup final against West Ham United – losing 2–0.[3] In 1966, they came away as Bundesliga champions and qualified for the 1966–67 European Cup, but lost 3–2 on aggregate against Real Madrid in the second round.[4] On 3 June 1967, they finished as runner-up in the Bundesliga.

The 1970s, 1980s and 1990s

[edit]

Those performances were followed by poor showings in three consecutive seasons leading to relegation in 1970 to the Regionalliga Süd (II). It took 1860 seven years to make their way back to the first division, through a three-game play-off contest with Arminia Bielefeld, only to be immediately relegated again. One year later they were back, this time for a two-year stay, then in 1982 they were relegated once again, and then forced into the tier III Amateur Oberliga Bayern when financial problems led to the club being denied a licence.

The club was promoted back to the Bundesliga for the 1994-95 season, going on to finish 14th, narrowly missing out on relegation. President Karl-Heinz Wildmoser and manager Werner Lorant, however, made several purchases to improve the team's performances, including striker Olaf Bodden, winger Harald Cerny, attacking midfielder Daniel Borimirov, playmaker Peter Nowak and defensive stoppers Miroslav Stević, Jens Jeremies and Manfred Schwabl. Other players who joined 1860's squad during this time included like Abedi Pele, Thomas Häßler and Davor Šuker.

2000s

[edit]

Under the leadership of Wildmoser and Lorant, the combination of proven veterans and young talent helped the club avoid relegation and become a decent mid-table side.[according to whom?] In 2000, 1860 finished fourth in the Bundesliga and as a result played in the UEFA Champions League Third qualifying round, where they faced Leeds United. A 3–1 aggregate defeat, however, saw 1860 play in the UEFA Cup that season, advancing to the third round, where they were eliminated by Parma. After nine years at 1860, Lorant was dismissed by the club following a 1–5 derby defeat to Bayern Munich on 13 October 2001.

After a decade in the top division, 1860 finished the 2003–04 season in 17th-place that returned the club to the 2. Bundesliga.[5] Wildmoser made the controversial decision to groundshare with rivals Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena, a move that outraged[tone] fans and led to accusations of a sell-out.[citation needed] His downfall came when he and his son Karl-Heinz Wildmoser Jr. were caught in a bribery scandal around the awarding procedure for the contract to build the stadium.[citation needed]

In addition to closely being relegated to the Regionalliga Süd (III) in the 2005–06 season, 1860 experienced severe financial difficulties.[vague] Stadium partner Bayern Munich bought out TSV's 50% interest in the Allianz Arena in late April 2006 for €11 million, providing the club with some immediate financial relief. Following this move, the DFB was satisfied with the financial health of the club and duly issued 1860 a licence to play in the 2. Bundesliga for the 2006–07 season.[6]

TSV hired several new managers during the club's time in 2. Bundesliga period. The first was Rudi Bommer, followed by Reiner Maurer, Walter Schachner, Marco Kurz and Uwe Wolf.[vague] Also, former Germany national team player Stefan Reuter as a general manager.[vague] None of the new managers, however, could lead the squad back to the top-flight Bundesliga. Ewald Lienen was manager of 1860 from 13 May 2009 to the end of the 2009–10 season.

2010–present

[edit]

Reiner Maurer was hired as manager of 1860 at the start of the 2010–11 season.[vague]

1860 came close to insolvency for a second time in five years in 2011 when it needed €8 million to survive.[vague] Help was offered to the club by local rival Bayern Munich, to the disgust of the supporters of each club,[according to whom?] since Bayern was[vague] to lose €50 million in future stadium rent if the club defaulted on its rental contract obligations until 2025.[citation needed] Eventually, the club was rescued by Jordanian investor Hasan Abdullah Ismaik, who, for €18 million, purchased 60% of the club's professional team's operating company, 1860 GmbH & Co. KGaA'. However his voting rights being restricted to 49% due to regulations governing German football, which is based around membership-led clubs and not entrepreneurial.[vague] H. I. Squared International, a company controlled by Ismaik, took over the marketing of the club from IMG.[7][8]

The 2014–15 season saw the club finish 16th in the 2. Bundesliga. This meant a place in the relegation play-offs against Holstein Kiel, during which it retained its league place with a 2–1 home win after a 0–0 draw in the first leg. 1860 survived courtesy of an injury time goal by defender Kai Bülow in front of 57,000 spectators in Munich.[9]

In 2016–17, the team finished 16th in the 2. Bundesliga after a 1–2 defeat against 1. FC Heidenheim in the last game of the season. They played 1–1 and 0–2 respectively in the following relegation play-off against Jahn Regensburg and were therefore officially relegated. Managing director Ian Ayre and President Peter Cassalette resigned from their positions the following day.[10] On 2 June 2017, it was announced that 1860 were unable to obtain a 3. Liga licence for the 2017–18 season as a result of investor Hassan Ismaik's unwillingness to pay the necessary fees. As a result, the club was relegated to the Regionalliga Bayern for the 2017–18 season.[11]

They spent only one season in the Regionalliga as they won the league in 2017–18, thus securing their return to the 3. Liga. Their first season back in the third league saw them finish 12th. The team managed to reach 4th place in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 season, one position away from promotion play-offs spot. The team also qualified for the 2021–22 DFB-Pokal and 2022–23 DFB-Pokal competitions as a result of the 4th-place finishes.

Reserve team

[edit]
Main article: TSV 1860 Munich II

The TSV 1860 Munich second team, (previously, until 2005, the TSV 1860 Munich Amateure), have been historically quite successful[according to whom?] at the Bavarian level.

The second team struggled during the club's years outside professional football, but rose through the ranks again after the club's revival in the early 1990s and returned to the Bayernliga in 1996, winning the title in its first season there and promotion to the third-tier Regionalliga Süd. The team was relegated to the Bayernliga in 2001, and returned to the Regionalliga Süd in 2004.[citation needed] TSV 1860 Munich II missed out on 3. Liga qualification in the 2007–08 season, and again in the 2012–13 season when it won the newly formed Regionalliga Bayern but lost to SV Elversberg in the promotion round.[citation needed] Because the first team was relegated to Regionalliga Bayern for the 2017–18 season, the reserve team was relegated to the fifth-tier Bayernliga Süd.

The club is the only one in Bavaria to have won the Bayernliga with its first and second team.

Ground

[edit]
Grünwalder Stadion (1911–1995, 2004–2005, 2017–present)
Olympiastadion (1972–2004)
Allianz Arena (2005–2017)

Originally, 1860 Munich played their home matches in the Stadion an der Grünwalderstraße (commonly known as Sechzgerstadion, which means "60er Stadium"). They shared this venue, built in 1911, with city rivals Bayern Munich between 1925 and 1972.[citation needed] Both clubs then moved to the new Olympiastadion built for the 1972 Olympic Games. 1860 Munich moved back to the old ground several times from 1972 on, with the years between 1982 and 1995 being the longest period.[citation needed] In the 2004–05 season, 1860 again played at Sechzger, as the Allianz Arena was being readied.[vague]

From 2005 to 2017, 1860 Munich played their home matches in the Allianz Arena, which they shared—and until 2006 co-owned—with Bayern Munich. The arena's usual peach lighting was changed to 1860's blue when the team played. The club's inaugural game at the Allianz Arena was a friendly played against 1. FC Nürnberg on 30 May 2005. On 28 April 2006, 1860 sold its 50% share to Bayern Munich to help resolve a serious financial crisis that saw 1860 facing bankruptcy. On 12 July 2017, Bayern Munich terminated 1860 Munich's rental agreement for Allianz Arena.[12] The club returned to their old stadium, the Grünwalder Stadion.[12]
