# Verein für Bewegungsspiele Lübeck (VfB Lübeck) ## History VfB Lübeck traces its origins to two predecessor clubs: Ballsportverein Vorwärts Lübeck (founded 1919) and Sportvereinigung Polizei Lübeck (founded 1921). In 1931, a merger with Fußball Club Alemannia 1905 Lübeck and Lübecker Fußball Club Germania 1913 formed Verein für Rasensport Lübeck (VfR Lübeck). The club changed names multiple times: to Polizei Sportverein Lübeck (1935), Sportgemeinschaft der Ordnungspolizei Lübeck (1942), and finally Verein für Bewegungsspiele Lübeck in 1945. Post-WWII, the club won the Schleswig-Holstein championship in 1945 and 1947, and has since fluctuated between lower divisions, reaching the 2. Bundesliga in 1969 and the 3. Liga in the 2010s. ## Key Events - 1919: Founding of predecessor clubs - 1931: Merger forming VfR Lübeck - 1935: Renamed Polizei Sportverein Lübeck - 1945: Re-founded as VfB Lübeck - 1969: Promoted to 2.
