SV Grün-Weiß Mestlin e. V.

The SV Grün Weiß was founded in 1949. It's mostly due to the commitment of the coach Manfred Ziebarth that the soccer players from Mestlin are well-known even far beyond the borders of Mecklenburg.

The SV Grün Weiß Mestlin was founded as a company sports club called "Traktor", on the 10th of December in 1949. It's mostly due to the female soccer teams that Mestlin has been becoming more and more popular, not only in Mecklenburg, since the opening of the Wall.

Back in 1992/93 the girls had their first games against the SV Spornitz / Dütschow. Since 1994 they have also been playing against female soccer teams from Schwerin. In 1995 the team from Mestlin won a second place at the tournament "Goldener Fußballstiefel" ("golden soccer shoe") in Denmark. In the season of 1996/97 the district West (M-V is being divided into the "soccer districts" West-, North-, and East-Mecklenburg) of the regional soccer association introduced the points system for girls teams on district levels.

The sport magazine "kicker" reported on February 13th, 1995 about a common action with the soccer team from Hamburg "Hinschenfelder Sportverein": a trip to Turkey. Not only the soccer matches were important, also the possibility to learn a lot about the culture in the far country.

Since then the girls from Mestlin and their coach Manfred Ziebarth could win a number of titles and cups.
