The association came into being on October 4, 1919, when TV Progress Bremen , which was founded in 1902, merged with TV Progress from Südervorstadt, which was once split off from TV Progress, to form the workers gymnastics and sports club Buntentor . In 1933 the association was banned by the National Socialists , whereupon the members joined the VfB Komet Bremen . After the Second World War , the Buntentor sports community was founded, from which today's general gymnastics and sports club Buntentor emerged. The association has had a heyday since the change in the board in 2004. The number of members increased from 800 to over 2,500 in April 2020. With the Kornstrasse sports store, the association has its own halls and sports rooms, so that in recent years various groups in the fields of dance, martial arts and acrobatics have also been able to be accommodated.
