The Cannstatter Tennis Club (1890–1901: Cannstatter Football Club , 1901–1909: Cannstatter Football and Tennis Club ) is a sports club from Stuttgart Bad Cannstatt . The Cannstatter Football Club, founded on March 25, 1890, was the first club in the Stuttgart area to take part in football matches at club level. The predecessor clubs of VfB Stuttgart , FV Stuttgart and the Kronen-Klub Cannstatt , as well as the Stuttgarter Kickers, were founded by former members of the CFC . With this emigration of soccer and rugby players , the original soccer club eventually evolved into a tennis club.
history
Roots of the Cannstatter and Stuttgart football
The Cannstatter Football Club was founded on March 25, 1890 by students from the Realanstalt and Gymnasium in Cannstatt and from the Stuttgart city center. The students of the Cannstatter schools had already run a loose syndicate since William Cail introduced the game of rugby there in 1865, and yet they forego the option of entering an earlier founding date when founding the club. In 1891 the CFC carried out its first rugby competitions against Heidelberg College and against Neuenheim College FC . In 1893 the members of the Cannstatter Football Club began to play both rugby and association football, whereupon the CFC became a member of the South German Football Union . In the same year, the club played in a rugby match against Frankfurt FC 1880 for the first time against a German club and played their first football game in a 2-2 draw against Strasbourg FC .
Because pupils from the Stuttgart core city showed an interest in rugby and football at the CFC, the FV Stuttgart 1893 was founded in September 1893 on the initiative of the Cannstatter Football Club , which initially played its games on the Cannstatter Wasen and regularly in training games against the CFC took over. After FV 93 was founded, some members, including Philipp Heineken , left the Cannstatter Football Club and joined FV Stuttgart. In 1897 pupils of the Cannstatt Schools decided against the Cannstatt Football Club and founded the Cannstatt Crown Club , which specialized entirely in football. Two years after the founding of the Kronen Club, the Cannstatter Football Club lost even more members when the majority of the young CFC players decided to take part in the founding of the Stuttgarter Kickers . Previously, the CFC was finally forbidden to use the Wasen because of complaints from tenants who owned sheep on the Cannstatter Wasen. The resulting space problems were also the decisive reason for the departure of the CFC members who founded the Kickers. When the FV Stuttgart 93 offered its help to the Cannstatter football club, talks took place in which a merger of the two clubs was proposed. However, these talks were inconclusive and only led to one last friendly game between the CFC and the FV 93.
From 1900: from football to tennis club
As early as 1891, CFC members purchased tennis equipment that was initially used for employment during the summer break. In 1896 the Cannstatter football club had a tennis facility built, which was primarily intended for passive club members, including women. August greasers , who in 1900 as part of the selection of his former association football club Frankfurt on rugby competition in the world exhibition Paris in 1900 participated and so became known as the silver medalist of the Olympic Games in Paris in the story, wrote in a report that he returned in 1899 to Cannstatt unsuccessfully tried to stop the disintegration of the football and rugby department of the Cannstatter football club. Although Schmierer was elected first chairman of the club and took part in a rugby match with two other remaining CFC rugby players for a southern German selection, he could not prevent the remaining former rugby players in the club from finally turning to tennis. In 1901 the club was finally renamed the Cannstatter Football and Tennis Club , with the hope that the football game could revive in the club. After this hope was given up, a few years later, under Chairman Schmierer, the name was finally changed to the Cannstatter Tennis Club .
