Boathouse

history

The association was founded on November 13, 1923. In the first few years the boathouse was nothing more than a small shed at the current location at Brombeerweg 74. From 1929 the boathouse with its boat shed and club room was built in sections using an elaborate timber frame construction.

In the early years the sport was practiced with rented or self-built boats, but already in the 1930s there were many national successes, so that the club was one of the 10 most successful clubs in Germany in the statistics. In the 1950s and 1970s, canoe racing took place again at the Alstereck. After that, the club was mainly geared towards canoeing, but still has a very active racing group that also had some North German champions and North German runners-up champions such as Henning Schmitt, Lars Glaeske, Jens Glaeske and Tiemo Krüger in the 1990s and at the beginning of the 21st century in the boat classes K2 ( kayak one) and K4 (kayak four).

The former sports manager of the club, Heinz Köhler, who died in 2003, was in charge of the expansion of the Dove Elbe ( Hamburg-Allermöhe ) into a professional regatta course for canoeing and rowing (Olympic base for canoeing and rowing Hamburg) and was his personal life's work for and in the club and union completed.
