Turn- und Sportverein Blau-Weiß Lohne von 1894 e.V., commonly known as Blau-Weiß Lohne, is a German association football club from Lohne.
History[edit]
In 1894 TuS 1894 Lohne was founded in Lohne, which at the time was the first gymnastics club in the town. The first football club followed with Fußballklub Olympia Lohne in 1910. On 1 May 1914, the football club was dissolved again by a club resolution and joined the TuS. After the end of World War I, a football club was founded again with FC Roland Lohne. In 1929, a second football club was founded with DJK Blau-Weiß Lohne. On 22 October 1934, the general assemblies of FC Roland and DJK Blau-Weiß decided to merge the two clubs under the name Sportvereinigung Lohne. In 1936, the gymnastics club TuS 1894 Lohne also joined. After World War II, on 22 October 1945, this merger became the Turn- und Sportverein Blau-Weiß Lohne von 1894, which still exists today. The club offers a total of 17 sports departments.
FC Roland Lohne's greatest success was the Wildeshausen regional championship. More successful was DJK Blau-Weiß Lohne. In 1932, the club won the Lower Saxony championship of the German Youth Power Sports Association (DJK) after a 5–4 victory over Raspo Osnabrück and subsequently became Central German DJK champions. Between 1934 and 1936, the SpVgg played in the second highest division and then slipped down to district level.
In 1949, Blau-Weiß Lohne was one of the founding members of the third-tier Amateurliga 2. The club quickly became one of the top teams in the league. At the same time, however, their aversion to promotion matches began, which continues to this day. In 1952, Blau-Weiß lost the final match for the league championship against Sparta Nordhorn. After six runner-up finishes, the team from Lohne won the championship in 1964. The possible jump into the Landesliga Niedersachsen was missed in the promotion play-offs. After the dissolution of the amateur leagues, Blau-Weiß Lohne continued to play in the fourth-tier Verbandsliga West from 1964. In 1966, they became champions after a 2–1 victory after extra time against SpVgg Gaste-Hasbergen, but failed again in the promotion play-offs. After several years of mediocrity, Blau-Weiß caused a sensation in the 1972 North German Cup when they first eliminated TuS Celle and Itzehoer SV. Only the then-Regionalliga leaders VfL Wolfsburg were able to stop Lohne.
The next Verbandsliga championship followed in 1978, this time with an eleven-point lead over TuS Haste. Once again, Blau-Weiß's nerves failed them in the promotion play-offs when they lost at home to Lüneburger SK Hansa in front of 3,000 spectators on the last matchday. Four years later, the team was promoted to the Verbandsliga Niedersachsen, but in that season all champions were allowed to advance, so no promotion round was necessary. The team from Lohne won the championship in their first attempt, but after a good start they failed in the promotion round to the Oberliga Nord. The next chance for promotion came in 1988, when the Lohne side finished as runners-up behind VfL Herzlake. On the last matchday of the promotion round, they lost 2–3 at Meiendorfer SV.
The third attempt to be promoted to the Oberliga Nord also failed. With a bit of luck, Blau-Weiß reached the promotion round in third place. Lohne had the best goal difference compared to Lüneburger SK Hansa, TSV Verden and VfR Osterode, who all had the same amount of points. Shortly before the start of the promotion round, coach Klaus Ebel had to leave and the team once again missed out on promotion. In 1994, Lohne qualified for the newly created Oberliga Niedersachsen/Bremen and thus played above the state association level for the first time. After two fifth-place finishes, the team was relegated in 1997. Blau-Weiß managed a direct return to the Oberliga, which was followed by three more years in the league. In 2006, Blau-Weiß Lohne were relegated from the Niedersachsenliga West and managed to stay in the Bezirksoberliga Weser/Ems until 2009. Three years later, they were promoted to the Landesliga Weser/Ems.
There, the team from Lohne became runners-up in 2017 behind Atlas Delmenhorst. On the last matchday, the team from Lohne missed out on the title with a draw at SV Bad Rothenfelde. In the following 2018–19 season, Blau-Weiß also missed out on promotion on the last matchday. Since the champions, SV Bevern, declared their renunciation of promotion at an early stage, second place was enough for them to make it into the Oberliga. On the last matchday, Lohne lost 4–1 at Vorwärts Nordhorn, while their rivals Kickers Emden won 2–1 at Grün-Weiß Mühlen and passed Lohne on goal difference. Finally, promotion to the Oberliga was achieved in 2020, followed two years later by promotion to the Regionalliga Nord.[1] Also in 2022, Lohne won the amateurs' branch of the Lower Saxony Cup after a 6–5 penalty shoot-out victory against Heeslinger SC, thereby qualifying for the 2022–23 DFB-Pokal.
