The General Sports Club Wuppertal , short ASV Wuppertal , is a sports club from Wuppertal . The first football team played for three years in the then third-class Oberliga Nordrhein .
history
ASV Wuppertal was created on June 11, 1970 through the merger of the clubs VfB Wuppertal , Eintracht Wuppertal , SSVg Barmen and Viktoria Wuppertal . VfB Wuppertal was founded in 1959 as a works association of the Vorwerk -Werke. Eintracht Wuppertal, in turn, was created on July 2, 1965 through the merger of FC Schellenbeck , TSV Barmen and Schwarz-Weiß Wuppertal . In 1970 a newly founded association, Schwarz-Weiß Wuppertal, split off from the ASV.
Soccer
The most successful parent club in football was Schwarz-Weiß Wuppertal, which reached the finals for the West German championship three times and played in the Gauliga Niederrhein in the 1933/34 season. The SSVg Barmen was one of the leading clubs in the Berg-Mark region in the early 1930s and played in the highest amateur league in the Lower Rhine for two years after the Second World War. Viktoria Wuppertal qualified for the German Amateur Championship in 1966 .
Due to the relegation of Viktoria from the Niederrhein association league , ASV started in the state league in 1970 . Three years later, the team secured relegation only through the better goal difference against the amateurs of Rot-Weiss Essen . Under the leadership of the former amateur national player Karl Hoffmann , the ASV remained undefeated for 30 games in the 1976/77 season and rose to the association league.
There the team qualified sixth for the newly created Oberliga Nordrhein, where twelfth place was achieved in the first season . A year later , the class could only be held because of the two goals better goal difference compared to VfB 06/08 Remscheid . The descent finally happened in 1981 with a lot of bad luck. Since three North Rhine clubs were relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga , four teams in the Oberliga had to go down. The ASV rose because of the worse goal difference compared to SV Baesweiler 09 .
A year later, the Wuppertal were passed through to the state league. After two runner-up championships in 1988 and 1990, in 1992 they were relegated to the district league. The direct resurgence followed through a decision at the Green Table . Since then, the ASV has been commuting between the regional and district leagues. After promotion in 2012, the team played one more season in the national league. ASV Wuppertal produced a German national player with Holger Fach . Volker Diergardt and Karsten Hutwelker became Bundesliga players .
Handball
The ASV handball players played in the third-class Regionalliga West in the 1999/2000 season . The team was relegated with only one point and has only played in lower-class leagues since then.
Boxing
The sport of boxing in Wuppertal can look back on a long tradition. Before the war, but until the end of the 1950s, there were several boxing clubs in the "valley", including the EBC, Union, Victoria, SSVg Barmen and Heros Barmen, the later VFB Wuppertal.
Werner Spannagel , the multiple German champion in 1932, 1933 and 1934; or Herbert Runge , Olympic champion in 1936, but also Iko Herchenbach, Päule Witte, August Schwabeland, Kalla Schmidt, Arthur Kettenbach, Jupp Rose, Hans Bornscheuer and many more made Wuppertal known as a boxing stronghold.
All of the above-mentioned clubs were still active in the 1950s. Of the many outstanding boxers of this time, two should be deliberately highlighted who belonged to the two remaining “active” clubs; Peter Augst from VFB Wuppertal and Alfred Engel from SSVg Barmen. Peter Augst, the German junior champion, and Alfred Engel, who competed in over 200 fights, were later extremely successful as coaches at ASV Wuppertal.
In the 1960s, the interest in boxing, both among the active and the audience, greatly decreased. Both the VFB and the SSVg only managed to get a full season together with great difficulty. However, at the end of the 1960s, VFB had the German youth and junior champions in its ranks with “Kaka” Schoth. When several clubs merged to form the large ASV Wuppertal club in 1970, both clubs and thus their boxing departments were there. As a result of the merger, another season could be provided for a few years. But in the mid-1970s, the ASV boxers only drew attention to themselves through individual successes, but these were impressive. In 1973 Reinhold Lehnardt became German junior champion, in 1975 Peter Hahn won the same title among the youth. They were followed by Stefan Macht, who won the youth title in 1981 and the juniors in 1983. Andreas Sikura achieved the German youth championship in 1990. After that it became very quiet around the boxing department. Anke Vosskühler as department head, Reinhold Hemmerling, Gerry Schwarzkopf and a few others kept the sport going, but the last event was held in 1992.
The new beginning was carried out in 1995 with the very active and well-equipped head of department Manfred Branca, with the aim of having more active boxers and holding boxing events again. In October 1996 the time had come; Over 300 spectators squeezed into the training hall on Sedansberg and were enthusiastic about the viewing tournament to which the ASV boxers had invited. That gave courage and so regular events followed, mainly in the Bromberger Halle, in order to do justice to the large audience.
Today the ASV boxing department, around the department head Andre Vogel and youth warden Musa Kol, is well structured and organized. The two trainers Kevin Günther and Dzharimas Temirkanov take care of the performance boxers and beginners 4 days a week in the "old" hall on the Sedansberg, where Wilfried Sauerland , professional boxing promoter , once did boxing at "Blau-Gelb" SSVg Barmen learned.
They also learned the ehm. DBV squad boxers Damian Malecki and Vincenzo Gualtieri, as well as the active multiple German champion Pinar Touba (née Yilmaz), boxing on the Sedansberg. Pinar Touba was German junior champion in 2005 and 2006 and then German champion of the elite in 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2015 in the flyweight division .
To dance
In June 2013, the ASV's jazz and modern dance formation Arabesque became German champions for the first time and prevailed against the years-undefeated series champion Autres Choses from Saarlouis . In previous years, too, the formation was regularly among the top German teams. In December 2013, the dance formation also won the world championship in the small group and the formation in ballet.
Table tennis
The history of the table tennis department is mainly linked to two names: Walter Mühlhausen and Peter Hübner . Mühlhausen, winner of various awards, achieved success in disabled sports and headed the club and department up to an above-average number of members. Hübner, who grew up at the previous club, SSVg Barmen , won a total of 14 titles at German senior championships. The women of the ASV, represented by Isolde Thiel , Monika Lau and Jutta van Diecken , among others , made it up to the Oberliga, the second highest West German league at the time; the men once renounced promotion to league 2 for financial reasons. At the end of the 2014/2015 game year, the first men's team withdrew from the third highest league, the regional league, in which they were represented most of the time, for the same reason.
