History
The club was founded in 1912 as FC Pelikan-Havelse by a group of thirteen young men from the small village of Havelse. They took their name from the maker's brand of the first football purchased by the club for the grand sum of 7,50 Reichsmarks. World War I took a heavy toll on the club, which was inactive for a time. In 1929, a local gymnastics club, Turnverein Havelse was formed and four years later the "Pelikans" took to the field again as the club's football side. Some time during the 1930s – club records are not clear – the club took on its current name.
For most of its existence this has been un-storied local side: the highlight for the team was a single season spent in the 2. Bundesliga in 1990–91. From 1986 to 1990 the club was led by Volker Finke, who played with the team from 1969 to 1974, and then went on to become the longtime coach of SC Freiburg. Their biggest achievements in the DFB-Pokal came against the same team. In 1991 and 2012, the club eliminated 1. FC Nürnberg to advance to the third and second round respectively of the competition proper.
From 2010 the club played in the tier four Regionalliga Nord and finished in second place in 2013. They finished third in the shortened 2020–21 Regionalliga Nord to qualify for the promotion play-offs, as the top two teams, Weiche Flensburg and Werder Bremen II did not apply for 3. Liga licences.[1] They achieved promotion to the 3. Liga after winning 2–0 on aggregate against 1. FC Schweinfurt.[2] However, they were relegated after just one season, with their relegation being confirmed on 16 April 2022 after a 1–1 draw against Hallescher FC.[3][4] The club returned to the 3. Liga for the 2025–26 season after finishing in first place in the 2024–25 Regionalliga Nord and winning the promotion play-offs against Lokomotive Leipzig.[5]
Stadium
TSV Havelse plays in the Wilhelm-Langrehr-Stadion, originally built as the "TSV-Kampfbahn an der Hannoverschen Straße" in 1933. However, since the stadium does not meet the requirements for the 3. Liga, the club played at the Heinz von Heiden Arena (then known as the HDI-Arena) in nearby Hanover for the duration of the 2021–22 season.[6] They will mainly play at the Eilenriedestadion in Hanover during the 2025–26 season for the same reason, moving to the Heinz von Heiden Arena for high-risk matches.[7]
