HSC Leu 06 Braunschweig, commonly known as Leu Braunschweig, is a German association football club based in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony.

History

The club was founded as BV Wacker Braunschweig in 1906. In 1911, Wacker was merged into

of Braunschweig.

The club was twice part of top-flight German football early in its history, first in the 1. Spielklasse Bezirk Braunschweig from 1906 until 1911, and then in the Bezirksliga Südhannover/Braunschweig (since 1929 Oberliga Südhannover/Braunschweig) from 1924 until 1933.

Leu was reunited with former partner MTV Braunschweig in 1945, but the union was short-lived as they went their way again in 1954, this time as SC Leu 06 Braunschweig.[2] In 1979, the club moved into a new ground in the district of Heidberg within Braunschweig. The move was reflected by adding the letter "H" to the club's name to represent their new home.

After its reemergence in 1954 and until 1963, Leu played second-division football in the

Regionalliga Nord, and stayed there until relegation in 1973.[3]
Since then, the team has been largely a lower-tier side, most recently competing in the Bezirksliga Braunschweig Staffel 2 (VII).
