History

MTV Wolfenbüttel (1848–1945)

MTV Wolfenbüttel was founded as a gymnastics club in 1848.[1] A football section was founded in 1911.[2] During the 1922–23 season, MTV played in the Südkreisliga (later renamed Oberliga Südhannover/Braunschweig), at the time the first-tier of football in Germany.[3] After World War II, MTV Wolfenbüttel and several other clubs from the city were merged into a new club, Wolfenbütteler SV (WSV). Although MTV Wolfenbüttel was re-founded in 1948, the club didn't re-established a football section on its own until several decades later.[2]

After several seasons in the lower regional divisions, WSV won promotion to the Oberliga Nord (III) in 1986 and stayed there until relegation in 1991. The club returned to the Oberliga-level for one last time in 1996, when they spent four seasons in the Oberliga Niedersachsen/Bremen.

gollark: Well, it's dynamically typed, it has nice things like full text search (which is also apiaristic in a few ways...), it has "recursive common table expressions", I can't immediately think of anything else.
gollark: Unlike most, its databases are one file and it's a small C library you can embed in programs.
gollark: SQLite is an *implementation* of much of this standard, plus weird extra features.
