The ASV Köln is in Cologne beheimateter sports club with a focus on athletics .
history
The ASV Köln was on 27 February 1929 as Academic Sports Association at the University of Cologne founded. In 1936 it was separated from the university and renamed the Cologne Athletics Association .
Until the early 1980s, ASV Köln was one of the leading German athletics clubs. However, due to the lack of sponsors, financial strength decreased from the 1990s, especially compared to regional competitor TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen . The continuous loss of almost all top athletes and a large part of the talented youngsters was the result. In addition, in 1995, just a few hundred meters from the training ground, another athletics club was established with the athletics team of the German Sport University Cologne .
From 1934 to 1999, ASV Köln was the organizer of the particularly successful ASV sports festival in the Müngersdorfer Stadium , where several world records were set and which in its prime attracted more than 30,000 spectators.
At the beginning of 2008, a community was established in the field of athletics with the neighboring athletics team, the German Sport University Cologne . This concentration of top athletics in Cologne was considered necessary from a sporting and financial point of view. Both clubs started together for about two and a half years as LG ASV DSHS Cologne and shared the training facilities. By mutual agreement, this athletics community was dissolved again for the 2010 winter season.
Today, in addition to athletics, other sports such as rugby , triathlon , floorball , ultimate frisbee and summer biathlon are offered at ASV Köln . For a long time there was also a basketball team that played three seasons in the basketball league ( BBL ) of the German Basketball Federation ( DBB ) and eventually became independent as BSC Saturn Cologne with a sponsor .

Their teams took part in the regular league operations of the German Rugby Association (DRV) as well as in various national and international tournaments.

ASV running team
The ASV running team is a training community of medium and long distance runners as well as some long sprinters within the ASV Cologne . The membership in history, the club is, however, mandatory, so that the overwhelming majority of runners competitions for the ASV Köln completed.
Emergence
The beginnings of the ASV running team go back to 1997, when the running department of ASV Cologne almost died out. Youth coach Jürgen Jaenisch , former indoor world record holder over 4 × 400 m and German indoor runner-up in 1964 over 400 m, acquired more young runners from year to year, so that from the 2000 season a solid and large base of medium distance athletes was formed. Since then, the number of members, best times and title wins have increased continuously.
On July 7, 2002, Philipp Legath was German runner-up behind Franek Haschke from LG Asics Pirna in the men's 1,500 m in 3: 45.22 minutes . Legath's best time of 3: 42.87 minutes also comes from that year. The most recent success at national level was achieved by Marius Piwonka, Erik Somssich and Christian Schreiner at the German Junior Championships 2007 in Hanover . In 7: 21.08 min they became German junior runner-up over 3 × 1000 m and thus gave the running team a long-awaited medal .
Training camp
Together with the youth team of the German Athletics Association (DLV), the athletes complete a two-week training camp on the Baltic island of Usedom every April . The runners form shared apartments and can manage two weeks of training together, sometimes with three units per day. In 2008 the team flew to a training camp in Albufeira for the first time .
National coach Henning von Papen writes a training plan that does not focus so much on units on the tartan track, but rather promotes athleticism, speed and endurance. Traditionally anchored in the training plan are runs through the hilly sections of the island and a 10 km test run.
