History
WSV Donawitz
The club was founded on 1 February 1928 as Werkssportverein Donawitz. The colours were green-white. They played their first season at the top Styrian league in 1930/31. WSV reached the title in 1939 but lost the playoffs for promotion to the Gauliga Ost after losing to FC Wien, Linzer ASK and WSV BU Neunkirchen. That same year, Donawitz became part of Leoben but WSV kept its name. 1944 the club was dissolved and a quick restart after the war was out of question , especially since the sports field was used as a tank parking lot.[1]
Football was reestablished in Donawitz in 1949 . In 1955 they won another title and were promoted to the second tier of Austrian football. In 1958 WSV Donawitz won promotion to the top tier, only to be relegated back after two years.
