DSV Posen

DSV Posen was a German association football club based in Posen (Poznań), Province of Posen, during the period when the city was part of Germany (primarily from the late 19th century until the end of World War I).

The Deutscher Sport-Verein Posen, often abbreviated as DSV Posen, was established in 1902. It was one of several German clubs operating in the city, reflecting the diverse ethnic makeup of Posen/Poznań at the time. The club participated in the regional football leagues organized within the German Empire, typically competing against other German clubs from the Province of Posen and surrounding areas.

Following World War I and the re-establishment of Poland, Poznań became part of the Second Polish Republic. As a result, German clubs faced increasing pressure and many were either dissolved or reorganized to cater to the new Polish identity of the city. DSV Posen ceased to exist in its original form, although the exact circumstances and date of its dissolution are not widely documented.

Information on the club's specific achievements, prominent players, or detailed history is scarce, reflecting its relatively minor role in the broader landscape of German football during that era. Its significance lies primarily in its representation of the German community in Posen/Poznań during a period of significant political and social change.
