Excerpt: Braunschweiger Turn- und Sportverein Eintracht von 1895, commonly known as Eintracht Braunschweig or BTSV, is a German association football and sports club based in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony. The club was one of the founding members of the Bundesliga in 1963 and won the national title in 1967. Eintracht Braunschweig was founded as the football and cricket club FuCC Eintracht 1895 in 1895, became FC Eintracht von 1895 in 1906, and changed its name again into SV Eintracht in 1920.

Under the Third Reich the team played in the Gauliga Niedersachsen and managed two appearances in the national final rounds. They continued to play in the upper leagues after the war with the exception of a single season (1952-53) spent in tier II. The side was touched by tragedy in 1949 when goalkeeper Gustav Fahland died of internal bleeding a few days after being injured during a game in a collision with a Bremen striker. Another appearance in the final round of the national championship came in 1958. Eintracht Braunschweig's consistently high standard of play and financial stability helped it to become one of the sixteen teams selected out of a group of forty-six applicants for play in
