History

Founding and glory years

Founded on August 27, 1925, [1] Brigittenauer AC started in the second division, getting promoted in their first season. Next year in the second season went well for Brigittenauer, and on the last matchday, they were only behind one point to First Place Admira Vienna, which they were playing on the last matchday, however, Admira won the match 5-0, meaning that Brigittenauer AC was only runner up.[ citation needed ]

Relegation and resurgence

In the 1928 season, although barely escaping relegation, [2] Briggitenauer surprisingly got third place in the Austrian Cup, in 1929 the club was even worse, and was last and got relegated to the second division. [3] But Brigittenauer AC soon found its way back to its old strength for the 1930 season, 126 goals in 26 games only reached second place in the second division, one point behind SK Slovan. In 1931, however, they were without good competition, so they then finished the season, this time with 127 goals, and became unbeaten champions of the league.[ citation needed ]

In the first division, however, they never returned to pre-relegation form. After a good 7th place finish in 1932, [4] in 1933 Brigittenauer went down in last place again. However, the team showed a completely different form in the Austrian Cup. Victories over SC Burgtheater and Gersthof-Währing brought Brigittenauer AC to the quarter-finals where they were set to play SC Hakoah. After 90 minutes it was 1:1, but Brigittenauer AC managed to get 4 goals in ET, bringing the final score to 5-1. Against the Vienna Sports Club, the semi-finals ended 4-4 and had to be played again. Through a goal in the 85th minute, Briggitenauer won the replay 1-0, and stood in the final against Austria Vienna. A goal from Austria Vienna in the 11th minute gave them the win, depraving Brigittenauer AC from any silverware. [5]

Later years

After the 1933 season, Brigittenauer AC found stability in the second division until 1938, when the team got relegated to the third division. After this, Brigittenauer AC entered multiple mergers with SCR Hochstädt Wien to form Brigittenauer AC-Hochstädt, and then with SV Helios Brigittenau in and reverted the name back to Brigittenauer AC, changing it to 1. Brigittenauer AC in 1974, in 1983, 1. Brigittenauer AC got relegated to the Vienna City League, the fourth tier, after a few seasons, they merged with SKV Feuerwehr Wien  [ de ] to form Brigittenauer SC Feuerwehr. In 2009, the renamed Brigittenauer AC formed with ISS Admira Landhaus, and the name disappeared (Although as of 2008 there is a team called Brigittenauer SC, it is not related to the original club).[ citation needed ]
