[1] With FC 1903 Ratibor, these clubs formed the Upper Silesian division (Bezirk Oberschlesien) of the Southeast German Football Federation in 1906.
The team took part in qualification play for the German national championship in 1912 following their capture of the Upper Silesian title, but were eliminated early on by Germania Breslau.
After the conflict, a Polish republic was re-established, and Upper Silesia was the subject of a territorial dispute between Germany and Poland.
In 1921, a League of Nations plebiscite granted part of the region – including Kattowitz – to Poland.
Following the invasion of Poland by the Nazis in 1939, the club was displaced by the formation of VfB Kattowitz, which was active until 1944 when it disappeared as the area was restored to Polish control.
