history
1860 to 1918
The General Bremen Gymnastics Club of 1860 (ABTV) was founded on September 28, 1860 by the businessman Edmund Pavenstedt for merchants and rather middle-class residents. From 1860 to 1874 he owned a gym at Herdentorsfriedhof ( An der Weide ) and then at port number 66. Due to the sports facilities, the club experienced a strong boom. The number of members rose rapidly from 63 to 482 members. The ABTV was the focus of the gymnastics in Bremen. The range of sports on offer expanded to include boxing in 1862, fencing in 1890 and handball from 1920.
In 1891 the Bremer SC (BSC) was founded as a football club; soon one of the largest football clubs in northern Germany.
In 1910, the ABTV were able to open the first sports field on the Pauliner Marsch .
1919 to 1945

After the war, the board voted to merge with the swimming club 1885 and the Allgemeine Bremer TV to form ABTS Bremen 1860 .
The first playhouse in the Pauliner Marsch was built in 1927. In 1926 the ABTS-Kampfbahn , a stadium with a large concrete grandstand and forerunner of the later Weserstadion, was inaugurated. Part of the sports complex was a swimming pool , which is directly adjacent to the stadium and in 1925 completed Stadionbad with 100-meter pool and diving board. However, the first ABTS soccer game in their ABTS arena against Düsseldorf 99 was lost 4-0. In 1929 the ABTS-Kampfbahn had to be handed over to the Weser-Stadion association due to high debts . SV Werder has played here since then.
Due to the financial weaknesses, the ABTS had to rename itself to Bremer Sportfreunde , but was able to continue playing.
After 1945
In 1946 the Allgemeine Bremer Turnverein (ABTV) and the Bremer Sportfreunde (formerly Bremer SC 1891) merged and were now called the Allgemeine Turn- und Sportverein Bremen von 1860 (ATSB). Under this name, the soccer department became the first German amateur soccer champion in 1951.
In 1960 the sports facilities in the Pauliner Marsch were too small. Extensions were no longer possible. In 1963 a first triple hall was made available in Schwachhausen on Baumschulenweg. The facilities in the Pauliner Marsch were given up in 1998. The structural extensions took place on the site on Baumschulenweg. Today (2013) the core of the association is located here.

Football past
1891 to 1918
Bremer SC (BSC) was founded in 1891 . It was probably the oldest football club in northern Germany after Hamburger FC 88 (predecessor of Hamburger SV ). In the early days, the BSC was the leading football club in Bremen. From 1900 to 1902 they won the city championship three times and qualified several times for the North German championship, but they never got beyond the second round.
In 1913 the BSC lost its leadership role in Bremen and was replaced by Werder Bremen . Because Werder and not the BSC qualified for the Association League Northern Germany. But after just a year, the rise succeeded, while Werder relegated again. However, the First World War prevented the return to the first division. 1919 was the BSC North German runner-up (0-2 in the final against the war syndicate Victoria / 88 from Hamburg ).
1919 to 1945
In 1920 the club was able to move into the semi-finals of the North German Championship before SV Arminia Hannover made it 3-1 for the elimination. Overall, however, the leadership role had been lost to Werder and other clubs were preparing to overtake in 1860. From 1925 the club started moving again. A trip to America made headlines and the club also wanted to build a large stadium. The ABTS arena was opened just a year later . However, the club was as good as bankrupt due to the construction, after three years they left the stadium and played again at the Pauliner Marsch, not far away.
In 1930 the club was the last time in the finals for the North German Football Championship, but like ten years before, they were eliminated against SV Arminia Hannover . Again you were not considered in a league reform and did not play in the Gauliga. After the rise in 1942, they were involved for three years.
Bremen 1860, or 1860 for short , played in the Bremen amateur league after the Second World War, which was the second highest class in Germany at the time. In 1951 the club won the German amateur championship. Finally, the ATSV reached the final, which was played in the Olympiastadion Berlin as a double event before the final of the contract players. The game against Karlsruhe FV was attended by 70,000 spectators. Bremen 1860 played in the line-up of Karl Kratz , Herbert Otten , Helmut Stehmeier , Herbert Scherrer , Arnold Neuhauss , Werner Meseberg , Helmut Neumann , Karl Heinz Nagel , Willi Schröder and Friedrich Körner .
1860 , led confidently 3-0 when they had to do without two injured players and the Karlsruhe team came up to 3-2. In the end, the victory was happy.
In 1860, Federal President Theodor Heuss awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf for winning the German Championship .
A season later, 1860 was unbeaten and with a goal difference of 129:16 Bremen champions. In the promotion round, however, one point was missing for promotion. After the season, Willi Schröder moved to Hamburger SV . The championship could be defended. Another point was missing in the promotion round. A year later in 1860 failed for the third time in a row in the promotion round.
The end of football within the club resulted in the club having become a major club and the football department therefore left the club and merged with the BBV Union to form FC Union 60 Bremen .
