The history of Rot-Weiss Essen

Rot-Weiss Essen is not just a football club, but a part of Essen's identity. Founded in a city with a rich football tradition, the club experienced its most successful years in the 1950s. Wikipedia reminds us that RWE won the DFB Cup in 1952/53 and even won the German championship in 1955. The club was also the first German club to appear in the European Cup in 1955. The rivalry with city rivals ETB Schwarz-Weiß Essen has produced many exciting games since then, and the historical significance of these encounters remains to this day.

With a magnificent stadium on Hafenstrasse, SGS Essen, the city's most successful women's football club, is another flagship of regional football. Since its founding in 2000, the SGS has produced a number of national players and shows that football in Essen is by no means just a male affair.

A new chapter for Götz

Dominik Götz comes at a time when Rot-Weiss Essen wants to consolidate its position in German football. The respective responsibilities in the club are clearly structured, as the Employee History of Transfermarkt shows. This includes coaches, presidents and sports directors who work together to combine the club's traditions with modern approaches. This step with Götz as equipment manager could be crucial to continued success in the next few seasons.

The anticipation of working with the new team is visible. Götz's promotion could be equivalent to a player's wish: "We want the best for the club and the fans!" A motto that is the top priority at the historic RWE.

The coming weekend promises more than just a game result with Dominik Götz's first appearance. The fans' hearts are beating fast and expectations are high. Will Götz be the one who brings fresh impetus and new success to the red and white ranks? We are excited!
