The Academic Gymnastics Club zu Berlin ( ATV zu Berlin for short ) is a student association and a sports club based in Berlin .

history

The Academic Gymnastics Association in Berlin was founded on July 17, 1860 in Auditorium VII of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Berlin. The association made it its mission to spread gymnastics at German universities. His motto is Mens sana in corpore sano , his colors are black, red and gold . In 1872, ATV Berlin, together with ATV Graz and ATV Leipzig, founded the Cartell Association of Academic Gymnastics Clubs (CV), from which it left again in 1882. The ATV zu Berlin has always been one of the large corporations in the Academic Gymnastics Association ; Federal brothers of the ATV zu Berlin were involved in the founding of the ATV Arminia Berlin, the ATV Kurmark, the ATV der Märker, the ATV Ditmarsia and converted the "Academic Society" in Jena in 1882 into the ATV Gothania Jena. The ATV zu Berlin reached its highest number of members at the end of 1926 with 734 old men ( AHAH ) and more than 100 active members . The inauguration of the first own house took place in November 1933 . At the end of the 20th century, as in most organizations of this type, the number of active members fell sharply. The list of members from 2007 only showed five active members. The organization owes its existence mainly to the old men to this day.

Sport in the ATV

  • From the beginning, the ATV zu Berlin carried out physical exercises in the broadest sense up to the present day. As a registered club , it is a member of three Berlin sports associations: The Berlin Gymnastics and Leisure Sports Association (BTB) includes those athletes who practice athletics or ball games; among others basketball , fistball or volleyball . In athletics, more than 15 sports festivals of the Berlin black associations were held. Today this focus has shifted to ball games.
  • The fistball players were ATB champions in 1998 .
  • The ATV is now an active member of the Berlin Handball Association after the game had to be stopped in autumn 1998. The handball teams have been ATB champions several times . A member of the winning team of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin comes from the ranks of the ATV zu Berlin, Fritz Fromm . The professionals played in the second Bundesliga North in the 1991/92 season and twice won the Berlin handball cup in the following years. All those involved could no longer guarantee the financial commitment, so that the game had to be stopped in autumn 1998. Since autumn 2001 a team has been playing for the ATV again.
  • The rowers are members of the Berlin State Rowing Association. The rowing team was founded in 1896 and had 109 members in 1914 alone. These found their home in the newly built boathouse in Grünau . On September 1, 1999, this house was returned to the ATV's corporation in Berlin. In the past few years the ATV has repeatedly been ATB champion in various boat classes .
