history

The association was founded in 1947. The men rose several times and at the end of the 1956/57 season (in the line-up Wahl, Maier, Stapf, Grieb, brothers B. and G. Riegger) reached the Oberliga-Süd, the highest German division at the time. When in 1966 they failed to qualify for the Bundesliga, several top performers gradually left the club. There followed relegations up to the district league. In the mid-1980s, the association intensified its youth work. In 1995 the student team became German team champions, in 2009 the boys team as well. After many relegations, he was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga (seasons 2009/10 and 10/11). The team qualified for the newly founded 3rd Bundesliga South (2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons) for three regional league years. The sports association then withdrew in the Regionalliga before the championship title was won in the 2019/20 season, which was canceled due to Corona. At the same time, after numerous promotions since 2002, the women's team also took first place in the regional league, so that the club from the east of Stuttgart will play with the women and men in the 3rd Bundesliga South from 2020.

Currently (2019/20 season) the club with 29 teams is the largest table tennis club in Baden-Württemberg and one of the three largest in Germany. For the adults there are 9 men's and 5 women's teams as well as a senior team. 11 boys and 3 girls teams are active in the youth sector.

Others

In addition, the DJK runs a so-called youth support program in cooperation with schools to introduce the youngsters to the sport of table tennis. At times up to 30 table tennis groups and 20 chess groups were organized at the same time. His youth work has already been recognized twice (1996 and 2014) with the Dresdner Bank Green Belt for outstanding youth work.

The DJK Sportbund Stuttgart published the club magazine East-End Rats . The name was a reference to the Ostheim district. Later the magazine was called DJK SB Magazin and appeared twice a year. Since the beginning of the millennium, public relations work can be followed on a daily updated homepage.
