The Club für Badminton Gütersloh eV (abbr. CfB Gütersloh ) is a German sports club founded in 1974 as a pure badminton club in the East Westphalian district town of Gütersloh . The club is mainly dedicated to popular sport , but has also been participating in the league operations of the Badminton Regional Association of North Rhine-Westphalia in an uninterrupted sequence since 1975. The club became known nationally and internationally for hosting the 2nd - 7th International German Youth Championships in Badminton.

Foundation of an association

The association was founded on April 3, 1974 with the signing of the association's statutes by seven association members as the "Badminton Club Gütersloh" (BC). One month later, on May 1, 1974, the club was accepted into the Badminton Regional Association of North Rhine-Westphalia. In order to avoid a possible confusion of names with existing Gütersloh sports clubs, the name was changed on September 17, 1974 to “Club for Badminton Gütersloh” (CfB). Since the entry in the register of associations on April 18, 1975, the full name of the association has been "Club für Badminton Gütersloh eV" (CfB).

training

The training conditions at the CfB Gütersloh were very difficult at the beginning. The first training took place in the sports hall of the primary school in Pavenstädt , where only one badminton field was available. From May 20, 1974, another training session could be held in the sports hall of the old town school. However, only a single badminton field was available here. These poor training conditions lasted until October 1976, after which the club trained in the sports hall in Wiesenstrasse. There were a total of six badminton fields available, but the field markings had to be masked off before each training session. At the start of the 1977/78 season, this makeshift also came to an end. The association was able to hold its training in the new sports hall at the West School Center (today: Anne Frank Comprehensive School). In the sports hall, in which the CfB Gütersloh is still based, the club has six playing fields, to which an additional four additional fields can be set up if necessary.

  • Sports hall of the Pavenstädt primary school

  • Sports hall of the old town school

  • Sports hall on Wiesenstrasse

  • Sports hall of the Anne Frank Comprehensive School

International activities

In addition to training and matches, the club has drawn attention to itself in the past through international activities.

International German Youth Championships (IDJM)

The German Badminton Association has been organizing the International German Youth Championships (today: German Juniors U 19 ) since 1984 . The first championship in 1984 was awarded to Brauweiler , from 1985 the CfB Gütersloh was able to bring the event to Gütersloh. From 1985 to 1990 the association hosted the 2nd - 7th International German Youth Championships.

At the first championship in 1985, in addition to numerous German representatives with Belgium , Austria and Poland, only three foreign associations were represented, over the years the club has been able to induce numerous other international associations to compete in Germany. In addition to European associations, these included associations from Japan , Indonesia , Israel and Mauritius . In addition, the entire top class in the youth field almost always competed on the German side.

Of the young people who competed in Gütersloh, many athletes can be found in the lists of participants in World Championships and Olympic Games in later years. Many former participants were also able to enter their names on the winners' lists of the respective senior national championships, for example the later multiple German champions Kerstin Ubben and Oliver Pongratz .

Due to the ever increasing costs, especially for the game balls, the club was no longer able to hold the event after 1990. After the venue in Gütersloh, the Bottroper BG hosted the International German Youth Championships from 1991 to 2008, and the SG Empor Brandenburger Tor Berlin has hosted the championships since 2009.

Athletes from a total of 20 countries took part in the six championships in Gütersloh: Belgium, Bulgaria, GDR, FR Germany, England, France, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Mauritius, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia , USSR, Hungary.

Broxtowe

Broxtowe , UK

The city of Gütersloh has been twinned with the English city of Broxtowe since 1978 . In the same year, the CfB Gütersloh made contact with the Broxtower badminton club "Plessey Sports and Social Club" via the Sports Office of the City of Gütersloh. A regular contact was agreed, which has existed without interruption since 1978. Gütersloher and Broxtower badminton players meet in their respective twin towns every year. The players are accommodated with host families who will be accepted into the families of their guests in the following year. In order to get to know the respective twin city and its surroundings better, numerous cultural visits take place in addition to the sporting competition.

International games

Due to the close contact of the club management with international associations, the CfB Gütersloh was able to organize some games for its members abroad. Between 1986 and 1989, athletes from the CfB Gütersloh took part in the international championships in Krakow (Poland) three times . Contact was also made with a badminton club in the GDR. At the beginning of 1990 some players of the CfB Gütersloh in the GDR were supposed to play a friendly against the GDR second division club BSG Union Mühlhausen (Thuringia). However, the political circumstances of November 9, 1989 (the opening of the GDR's border after the fall of the Wall ) enabled the two associations to organize an even faster meeting. From December 1st to 3rd, 1989, the first weekend without a game, players from both clubs met for a friendly match in Gütersloh. This game is one of the first German-German encounters in East Westphalia after the fall of the Wall. At the beginning of April 1990, the Gütersloher made a return visit to Mühlhausen.

National activities

The CfB Gütersloh had also earned a good reputation at national level. By organizing DBV ranking tournaments, the club brought the national badminton elite to Gütersloh, including B. the multiple German champion Guido Schänzler . Due to the steady decrease in the number of members, the club could no longer cope with the implementation of the personnel-intensive ranking tournaments from 1999 and did not submit any further applications to the German Badminton Association.

League operation

In 1974, when it was founded, the CfB Gütersloh did not yet take part in the league, but held a number of friendly matches. In the first game in the club's history, CfB Gütersloh played against TV Emsdetten . The game ended 4-4. Since 1975, the association has provided teams for the league operations of the Badminton Regional Association of North Rhine-Westphalia. The first league game in the club's history was a local derby. The CfB Gütersloh defeated VfB Gütersloh 8-0.
