The Alstaden Canoe Club Oberhausen is a canoeing club from the town of Alstaden an der Ruhr , a district of the Ruhr area town of Oberhausen . He mainly offers the sports canoe racing and canoeing .

history

The club was founded in 1948 as the canoe department of the SC Rot-Weiß Oberhausen an der Ruhr. The boats were then housed in a building contractor's shed. Over time, however, this was felt by the canoeists to be inadequate, but Rot-Weiß Oberhausen did not support their wish for their own boathouse. With the adoption of the association's statutes on October 6, 1956, the Alstaden Canoe Club Oberhausen-Rhld. eV founded.

The Alstadeners then built the desired boat and club house with a lot of their own work shortly after separating from the RWO at the foot of the Halde Am Ruhrufer , today's biotope, near the bank of the Alstadener Ruhrbogen . However, because the dump started to burn in 1977, the house had to be abandoned. Operation was maintained improvised until 1989, before the dump was cleared and a new clubhouse could be built, which is still the home of the AKC Oberhausen today.

The AKC was originally designed as a pure canoe racing club and achieved several national and international successes. In the course of time, however, the offer has been diversified, so that children, canoeing and popular sports are also offered. In the 80s, canoe marathon sport developed into an important discipline for the Alstaden people. To this day, the Alstadener KC is one of the most successful canoe clubs in Germany.
