history

The federal base in Dortmund can build on a long tradition in rowing and canoeing . Right next to each other on the Dortmund-Ems Canal are the club houses of the canoeists of the Free Sports Club from 1898 (FS 98), the Rowing Club Germania from 1929 and the Rowing Club Hansa from 1898 with modern jetties. By working with schools in Dortmund, new talents are regularly discovered and developed. The rowing team at the Max Planck Gymnasium should be emphasized here .

Due to the sporting successes, the boathouse of the RC Hansa developed into a center of excellence, since 1976 the RC Hansa has been the official federal base for rowers. Klaus Walkenhorst was the first base manager, he filled this position until 1991 and from 1996 to 2008. During the break, Ludwig Blömeke was the head of the base.

Today parts of the national team from the German Rowing Association train at the federal base . In addition to the "Men ( belt )" area with the Germany eight, the "Women (belt)" area with the women's eight team was at home here until 2019. Important head coaches in history were Günter Petersmann in the 1980s, Ralf Holtmeyer , who was already active in both women and men, and Dieter Grahn . The outstanding successes of the teams training at the base include the Olympic gold medals of the Germany eight in 1988 and 2012 under coach Ralf Holtmeyer, as well as nine world championship titles in the men’s eight between 1989 and 2011, two world championships in the women’s eighth in 1994 and 2003 and numerous further World Cup successes in four and two .
