FC St. Pauli is officially celebrating its 116th birthday this year. May 15, 1910 is considered the founding day. The founding history of the club is however more complex than thought.

What's behind the three founding dates?

The predecessors of the club date back to 1862. - May 1, 1862: Founding of the parent club „Hamburg – St. Pauli Turnverein von 1862“ - 1899: First football activities within the Hamburg-St. Pauli TV - 1907: First known football game of the sports department of the TV

The chronicle of the founding of FC St. Pauli

The history of FC St. Pauli begins long before 1910. René Martens writes in his chronicle „FC St. Pauli: You’ll Never Walk Alone“ (1997) that the history of FC St. Pauli from 1910 does not begin in 1910, but at least three years earlier.
