The Billard Sportverein Wuppertal 1929 e. V. ( BSV Wuppertal for short ) is a sports club from the mountainous city of Wuppertal , which was known under the name Barmer Billardfreunde ( Barmer BF for short ) until 2011 . German titles have been won several times in both snooker and pool .
history
The association was founded in 1929 with the help of Oskar Wahle, Paul Wassermann, Heinz Hesse, Oswald Sporkes and the Windgassen brothers. Oskar Wahle was the first chairman and was replaced by Alfred Roxin in 1938. He, Heinz Görtz and Willi Schütte were awarded the silver pin by the municipal sports office in 1954. In the same year the association celebrated its 25th anniversary and elected Hans Reussner as its new chairman. In 1970 Emil Schwarz took over this position, but shortly afterwards, due to illness, passed it on to Udo Kleimenhagen, who kept it until it was handed over to Ulrich Naber in 1985. A year later, Axel Heger became the new chairman. Since the club's headquarters on Haspeler Schulstrasse had become too small, a rental agreement was signed on Gronaustrasse at the end of 1987 . In the following years, the club had larger rooms with two large and three small billiard tables.
On the occasion of its 60th anniversary, the club hosted the German three-cushion and three-way championships in the Heckinghauser sports hall in 1989 . The event was broadcast live for three hours with the support of other regional associations. In the same year, the team grew and was expanded to include more tables, so that in the future it would also be possible to compete at the state level instead of only at the district level as before. Between 1993 and 2015 the billiard friends were consistently at least second class at the federal level.
In 1994 the first three-cushion team became vice cup winners and was thus allowed to compete in the European Cup. In the preliminary round she competed at Benfica Lisbon , among others . When the city's largest pool club to date, the PBSC Wuppertal, dissolved in 1996, the pool friends took over its members and from then on ran their own pool and snooker department. At that time, the club was the only one from North Rhine-Westphalia and the surrounding area that combined all types of billiards. In the same year, the 1st snooker team won the German Cup and brought the first title to Barmen . In 1998 increasing water damage forced the premises to be abandoned. As a result, the three-cushion and pool departments were merged, and snooker gaming operations were outsourced for the time being.
In 1999 there were initially plans for a new building in Barmen, but in February they moved into a building in Elberfeld that served as a venue and club house until 2011. The new premises comprised four floors and became the largest club-owned billiards facility in Germany. The trade magazine Talk named the clubhouse as Billiard Cafe of the Year . In the following year, the 1st three-cushion team secured promotion to the 1st Bundesliga three-cushion team for the first time . On December 22nd, 2000, a cable fire caused extensive destruction on the 4th floor, which had to be gutted and renovated. The system was ready for use again for the three-cushion championships in January 2001. In 2001 the association won a prize from Dresdner Bank endowed with 10,000 marks for outstanding achievements in youth work and talent development .
In 2002 the European Billiards Federation entrusted the organization of the European qualification of juniors for the Billiards World Championship in China . 72 athletes from 14 nations took part. In 2003, the 1st snooker team became both German champions and cup winners, thus winning the club's first championship title. In 2005, the Wuppertal location was named a state performance base in North Rhine-Westphalia, and the state project for talent scouting and promotion was also set up on the company's own premises. Through cooperation with schools in Wuppertal, up to 150 children came to the sports facility every week, and billiards was even introduced as an elective at two schools . The first trainer training courses were offered at the state performance base, to which participants came from all over Germany. With around 400 trainer assistants and trainers to date, Wuppertal has trained the largest number of trainers.
2008 was the most successful year for billiards fans with three German team titles, one gold and three bronze medals in individual matches in the German championship. Once again, the association received an award for youth work and the prize for anti-doping work, which was awarded for the first time by the German Olympic Sports Confederation, was won. On the occasion of its 80th anniversary in 2009, over 1,500 visitors came to the Wuppertal University Hall , with guests including British professional athletes Steve Davis , Mark Selby , Allister Carter and Stephen Hendry . In the same year two German team titles as well as four gold, one silver and one bronze medals were won in individual competitions. In 2010 the team became German champions and cup winners in snooker for the third time in a row.
With the resolution of the general meeting on August 21, 2011, the club was renamed Billard Sportverein Wuppertal 1929 e. V. After another championship and cup victory in 2011, the club was looking for a new branch because of defects in the building and delayed renovation work and found it on the corner of Clausewitzstrasse and In der Fleute in the Langerfeld district in the east of the city. Once again, the largest club-owned facility in Europe was built here. There are 17 pool tables, six snooker tables and two large and two small carambola tables available. The Upstairs billiard cafe was located on the lower floor and also had an outdoor area. In 2013 the snooker team became German champions for the sixth time in a row, but only came third in the following season behind the promoted BC Stuttgart 1891 and SAX-MAX Dresden .
After 28 years in office as chairman, Axel Heger resigned in 2014 and the function was taken over by Timo Zinke. In the same year the Upstairs billiard cafe also closed . Dirk Winkler has been president of the association since 2015 and with the board, which has been completely renewed since 2014, he was only just able to avert economic insolvency. The snooker team was relegated to the third division in 2015 and finally to the fourth division in 2016. After 87 years, the carom department dissolved in 2016 due to a lack of members.
