KBC Duisburg is a German sports club based in Kaßlerfeld, a suburb of Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia. The club was founded in 1888 and is renowned for its defunct women's football team, which won a German championship in 1984–85. Today the club offers tai chi and football, but the men's football department has never been nearly so successful as the women's department was.

History

KBC Duisburg was founded on 2 September 1888 as gymnastics club. The football department was founded in 1908 and quickly rose to become the most important department in the club. Having more and more success the football players began to fancy the idea of forming an independent football club and eventually did just that in the 1920s. The clubs were merged again as TuSpo Kaßlerfeld when the

Nazis took over the power in Germany. After the war the clubs from the Kaßlerfeld area founded a new club, named "Kaßlerfelder Ballspielclub". The men's football team had its most successful period in the early 1960s, when they played for several years in the "Kreisklasse" and even achieved a one-year stay in the Bezirksliga.[1]

Today KBC Duisburg has only men's and boys' football teams. The men play in the Kreisliga C,[2] 11th tier football.

Women's football (1970–1994)

The women's football section was founded in 1970 by Paula Schmitz.

Martina Voss
, who became Duisburg's most famous player.

In 1985 KBC won the

season. After a few years in the lower divisions the dissolution of the women's football section was agreed to.
