The 1. FCN Swimming e. V. emerged from the swimming department of the main club as an independent club in 1995 as part of the organizational reform at 1. FC Nürnberg . Like the other former club departments, the club has since been part of the FCN umbrella organization. In addition to swimming, the club also offers water polo . The club is the third oldest swimming club in Nuremberg still in existence. The water polo players were among the best German teams, especially in the 1950s, and were German runners-up several times.

history

Structure of the department

1. FC Nürnberg started swimming in the club's sports program in September 1913 at the suggestion of August Hussel . In the same year, the first water polo game took place, which was lost 0:12 against the 1st Nuremberg Swimming Club 07. The young department quickly met with great interest and grew to over 100 members who trained in the Nuremberg public baths. During the First World War , the practice had to be almost completely stopped, the number of members fell to 23. But by 1919 the new department head Wilhelm Müller had 153 members. The public bath was available again for training, but the swimming department was able to convince the club's presidium to build their own sports bath in Zerzabelshof . On August 19, 1919, club president Leopold Neuburger broke ground for the swimming pool, and the department members actively participated in the construction of the swimming pool. Due to inflation , the project could not be carried out at first. The FCN swimmers had to go to the natural garden pool in Mögeldorf .

Construction of the club pool

In 1922 the department already had 583 members. In the same year, the water polo players played their first international friendly against the Club de Nation from Geneva, which they won 3-2. In 1925, thanks to a mortgage of 70,000 marks made available by the city ​​of Nuremberg , the club's own swimming pool was completed and opened on June 28th. In the new swimming pool, the American swimmer Walter Laufer improved his world record in the 200 m individual medley to 2: 49.9 minutes in the South German championships in 1926.

In 1928 the water polo team took part in the German water polo championships for the first time, but was eliminated in the preliminary round despite a 4-1 win against Munich 99. In 1930 the club hosted the German water polo championships in its own bathroom. The club's own facilities and the resulting improved training conditions showed initial success. In 1932 Ernst Rührenschopf won the South German championship over 100 m crawl in 1: 11.9 minutes and Hans Zeller over 100 m back. In 1934 Zeller was invited to a preparatory course for the 1936 Olympic Games

Synchronization and DM title

In the meantime, the entire association had reacted to the takeover of government by the NSDAP . As early as April 27, 1933, a few months before the associations were officially brought into line in July 1933, the association decided to expel all Jewish members with effect from May 1. The second chairman, Karl Müller, who was also the new president from May 1935, ensured that the decision, which did not affect any of the first-team players, was implemented. At the same time, in April 1933, the 1. FCN was “the first club”, according to the club's newspaper, to introduce an off-road sports department: “It is up to off-road sports to turn able-bodied athletes into defensive Germans. You do off-road sport not for your own sake, but for the sake of your fatherland ”, is how department head Karl Frick describes the goals of the new department. For the swimming department, this also meant a change in the offer. HJ test swimming, ban championships and imperial performance classes were introduced. At the German Army Championships in 1938, Karl Schaller took the title over 200 m chest in 2: 57.8 minutes.

In 1941, for the first time, an FCN swimmer landed first in German championships. Liselotte Bachmeier won the 400 m freestyle title - the first ever swimming success for Nuremberg. Her club mate Alfred Böbel came sixth in the national championships over 100 m freestyle. In 1946 the American military government confiscated the club's own swimming pool, which was only returned to the club in 1949, which had to train with friendly clubs during this time.

Successes of water polo players

In 1950, the water polo players around Eduard Hahn, Walter Preuss, Alfred Böbel and Karl Ruffershöfer took third place at the Bavarian championships. In the same year, the club experienced another world record, but not by an FCN swimmer: Herbert Klein achieved this in the Bavarian championships over 200 m chest in 2: 33.0 minutes. After the swimmers did not win a title at these championships, things went much better in 1952 with eight titles in the Bavarian competitions. The highlight, however, was the success at the southern German championships, which the student world champion Walter Pavlicek achieved over 200 m breasts. The Austrian Pavlicek - participant in the 1948 Summer Olympics - had recently moved from Vienna to Nuremberg and joined the FCN.

Among the water polo players, the good youth work paid off in 1954. The FCN youngsters won the German youth championship. The seniors had also improved significantly in the meantime and had a strong local rival in Bayern 07 Nuremberg , who became German champions for the first time in 1953 . As leaders of the Oberliga Süd, they took part in the final tournament for the German championship for the first time in 1955, but lost the playoff for the championship against SC Rote Erde Hamm with 2: 3.

German runner-up in water polo 1955:

Erich Pennekamp, ​​Dieter Meier, Ottmar Terfloth, Manfred Herrmann, Helmut Schönberger, Achim Schneider and Hugo Freyer.

Also in the following year, the water polo team won the German runner-up. In 1957, as South German champions, they only finished sixth at the final tournament. On the other hand, the youth team, which won the German championship for the second time, made for joy.

The swimmers also had successes in the meantime. In 1956 Dieter Dick was the German youth champion over 100 m chest (1: 15.9 minutes), Marion Escherich took second place in the German youth championships over 100 m back in 1957. In 1962, Wolfgang Thiede, for the first time, was a Nuremberg man with 0: 59.7 minutes over 100 m freestyle under one minute. However, Tiede was in the shadow of the exceptional swimmer Gerhard Hetz from Hof . At the German championships Tiede swam in 2: 13.7 minutes over 200 m freestyle to third place, Hetz won the title in this race with a European record. The young swimmers again ensured further national successes: Karl-Heinz Zeller brought German youth championships over 400 m crawl and 200 m medley to Nuremberg in 1965, in 1966 Ursula Lindner achieved this over 400 m medley and 100 m dolphin.

New swimming pool and successes in the youth sector

Since the entire club had meanwhile decided to build a modern training ground for the footballers, he sold the club grounds with stadium and swimming pool in Zerzabelshof . With the proceeds, the association built a new facility at the Valznerweiher . During the construction period, the FCN swimmers had to switch to other pools before the new club pool was opened on August 17, 1968.

In the 1970s, the youngsters were again responsible for success in both swimmers and water polo players. The water polo student team won the Bavarian championship in 1970, 1971 and 1972 and even became South German champions in 1972. Hans-Herbert Steiner 1972 and Birgit Popp (800 m crawl) 1973 returned from the German youth championships with second places. In 1974 Popp even won the title at the youth championships over 400 m crawl. A year later, however, the talent moved to Erlangen. In 1976, the old swimmers took care of other German championships. At the senior championships, the German champion from 1941 Lieselotte Böhrer (née Bachmeier) won the 200 m crawl title as did Hans Zeller, the southern German champion from 1932. With Michael Letterer, the swimmers had a new talent in their own ranks, which in 1978 won the German youth championships over 100 m as well as over 200 m breaststroke. Michael Letterer still holds the club records over these two routes in 2007. The water polo players made it into the regional league in the same year.

In the 1980s, the FCN swimmers initially benefited from their old swimmers who were still active. Between 1980 and 1982 the club channels recorded a total of 40 German titles at senior championships. The water polo players met the record champions Spandau 04 in the German club cup in 1983 and lost 3:30 without any chance. A year later they were relegated to the Bayern League. The club invested in the club pool in 1984. As a pilot project for Europe, the tiled basin was replaced by a stainless steel basin. The FCN swimming team achieved their greatest team success to date with promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1985. A year later, however, the team was relegated. In 1985, Thomas Schmidt stood out from the youth work as the German year-old champion over 50 m crawl.

The journey to independence

In 1990, the swimming department with 600 members had grown back to the size of the Weimar Republic for the first time, making it the second largest club department after the footballers. In the same year, the youth team of water polo won the South German runner-up. At that time it was not going as well for the swimmers. While the men were promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1985 and the women were about to be promoted to this class, 1. FC Nürnberg was the weakest team in Nuremberg in 1991 for women and men. As a result, the swimming operation was reorganized and the training management replaced. After the city council canceled the subsidies for the club pool in 1992, the club had to manage the pool on its own.

In view of the successful management of the club's pool, the swimming department agreed to the plan presented in 1994 for the reorganization of 1 FC Nürnberg and decided to venture into independence as a separate club. On May 5, 1995, the 1. FCN swimming e. V. launched with 517 founding members. The success of the swimmers returned, both the men and the women at least returned to the Bayern League.

Pia Klante recently achieved great success in the youth field. In 2004 she won the 200 m freestyle title at the German Junior Championships, over 400 m and 800 m she finished second. At the Junior European Championships in the same year she reached a seventh place over 800 m. With a tenth place in the 1500 m freestyle at the German short course championships, Leslie Kahr brought the 1st FCN swimming another good result at national level. In 2006, the girls in age group C took third place in the national finals of the German team competition. The boys in age group B returned as the fifth best team in Germany. In November 2007, the women's team was promoted to the 2nd Swimming Bundesliga South . With the eighth place in 2008 the relegation succeeded.

The water polo men also managed to return to the Regionalliga Süd. In the 2003/2004 season there was even a one-year guest appearance in the then one-piece 2nd Bundesliga (DWL II). As runner-up in 2005/2006, they were also qualified for the 2nd Water Polo League South , which replaced the regional leagues at the time after the DWL II was dissolved. As a newcomer they established themselves well and ended the 2006/07 season in fifth place with a positive point account. With seventh place, the team managed to stay in the league in the following season.

At the German Short Course Championships in 2008, Fabian Schwingenschlögl was the first club swimmer in a long time to reach a final run. He took sixth place over 200 meter medley. He also achieved a top placement in the 100 meter medley with 7th place, as did Sandra Koch with 9th place over 200 meters freestyle. Schwingenschlögl had already won the Bavarian Championships four times over 100 m medley, 200 m medley, 400 m medley and 50 m butterfly.
