Hannover 96 was founded on 12 April 1896 as Hannoverscher Fußball-Club 1896. Their initial enthusiasm was for athletics and rugby: football did not become their primary interest until 1899. Most of the membership of Germania 1902 Hannover became part of 96 in 1902, while others of the club formed Hannoverscher Ballspielverein. In 1913, they merged with Ballverein 1898 Hannovera (formed in the 1905 merger of Fußballverein Hannovera 1898 Hannorver and Hannoverscher BV) to become Hannoverscher Sportverein 1896.
Hannoverscher FC's colours were black-white-green, but they played in blue, while BV played in red. The newly united team kept black-white-green as the club colours, but they chose to take to the field in red, giving the team the nickname Die Roten (en: The Reds). The team's third jersey is in the club's official colours.
The club made regular appearances in the national playoffs through the early 1900s, but were unable to progress past Eintracht Braunschweig, planting the seeds of a rivalry that has survived to this day. HSV continued to field strong sides and make national level appearances on into the 1920s.
Under the Third Reich German football was re-organized into sixteen top-flight leagues in 1933 and Hannover became part of the Gauliga Niedersachsen. They appeared in the country's final rounds in 1935 and sent representatives to the national side the next year. They won their first national championship in 1938 in what was one of the biggest upsets in German football history when they beat FC Schalke 04, the most dominant side in the country in the era. The two sides played to a 3:3 draw before Hannover prevailed 4:3 in a tension filled re-match. In 1942, the team moved to the newly formed Gauliga Braunschweig-Südhannover.<\/P>","KurgDPYjVpmhzUpKTatfcw==":"Arthur-Menge-Ufer 5, 30169 Hannover","00Uj1WK13eg=":"Hannover 96","4rKPeaoenL1cpWFk6lG9Zg==":"178cm","B2CNYOz37Xw=":"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=AWD+Arena+hannover+germany&sll=52.425493,10.800033&sspn=0.003677,0.01133&ie=UTF8&ll=52.360034,9.731859&spn=0.003682,0.01133&t=h&z=17","nggkleF62dZCoY0f6tyLPa73AQpQ4El1":"1","nggkleF62da2JbW72bbAMA==":"0","0jluW+IgtGY=":"http:\/\/www.hannover96.de","G+F9OE9bghyhzUpKTatfcw==":"Heinz von Heiden-Arena","tfEdzGAemK0=":"1","ETeUzwhc9pE=":"8210","3tKqWfzsQj5Rnay+HaDKvQ==":"\u0e40\u0e22\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e21\u0e19\u0e35","3JBq0VG16oE=":"\u0e2e\u0e31\u0e19\u0e42\u0e19\u0e40\u0e27\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c 96","0RjEML3Gm4s=":"26.19","u+61YKbsrEg=":"\u0e2e\u0e31\u0e19\u0e42\u0e19\u0e40\u0e27\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c","9hN3GyW6U8imlz+WSUqouFylYWTqUb1m":"1896-4-12","ipe3cdRCSqNcpWFk6lG9Zg==":"\u0e41\u0e0a\u0e21\u0e1b\u0e4c\u0e1a\u0e38\u0e19\u0e40\u0e14\u0e2a\u0e25\u0e35\u0e01\u0e32 (2) : 1938, 1954
