Wiener Sportvereinigung
Wiener Sportvereinigung was a sports club in Vienna, Austria. It was a successor to the workers' association organization, Straßenbahnersportvereinigung, which was banned along with all other workers' clubs by the Austrian government in February 1934,
WSV was admitted to the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation (OEHV) as a temporary member on November 30, 1934. They became an associate member on April 7, 1935.
They joined the 2.b Klasse of the Vienna Championship in 1934-35. WSV went on to play in the 3. Klasse in 1935-36 and the 2. Klasse from 1936-38.
On February 2, 1936, the club's name was noted to have been changed to Wiener Sportvereinigung/Straßenbahn. Another name change, this time to Sportvereinigung der Straßenbahner Wiens, was documented on October 20. In December, the OEHV announced the association had reverted back to its original name.
The club withdrew from the OEHV on November 30, 1937, only to return as a temporary associate member on December 20 of the same year. After the German Anschluss of Austria in March 1938, WSV remained active.
A club by the name of SpV Strassenbahner Wiens is known to have played in the post-war Austrian Championship from 1945-1947. It appears almost certain this was the same team.
