Founding history

Historical development of German sports umbrella organizations and National Olympic Committees

The DOSB was created through the merger of the financially troubled German Sports Confederation (DSB) and the National Olympic Committee for Germany (NOK) . The aim of the merger was the uniform representation of sport and the better assertion of the interests of the member associations and clubs.

The statutes of the DOSB were adopted by the main bodies of the NOK and the DSB in a joint meeting on December 10, 2005 in Cologne . During the meeting, the previous associations decided to dissolve and to merge by founding the DOSB.

In order to fill the management positions, a five-person selection committee was formed, which includes the association presidents Theo Zwanziger ( German Football Association ), Clemens Prokop ( German Athletics Association ), Klaus Schormann ( German Association for Modern Pentathlon ) and Wolfgang Rittmann ( German Billiard Union ) and as a representative of the state sports associations Ekkehard Wienholtz ( State Sports Association Schleswig-Holstein ). In March 2006 the commission voted unanimously in favor of Thomas Bach as DOSB president. The former North Rhine-Westphalian Minister for Urban Development and Housing, Culture and Sport Michael Vesper ( Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen ) received a five-year contract as General Director of the DOSB in September 2006.

financing

The German Olympic Sports Confederation is financed from membership fees, lottery income and marketing licenses as well as federal grants, especially for projects in the field of competitive sports; Integration, inclusion and equal opportunities in or through sport; Sport and health; Sport of the generations as well as for international sport projects that unite people.

Advocacy

“The German Olympic Sports Confederation represents the interests of its member associations vis-à-vis the federal, state and local governments and in all socio-political and cultural areas. This includes cooperation with socio-political institutions such as churches, parties, welfare associations, cultural institutions, trade unions and business organizations. "

- Bund.de

The DOSB or its predecessor DSB has been publishing the magazine " Leistungssport " since 1971 , which is one of the leading training- science magazines in the world, but is clearly reluctant to make statements on sports policy. The GDR magazine Theory and Practice of Competitive Sports was discontinued after the fall of the Wall. Both journals are digitized free of charge at the Institute for Applied Training Science .

The DOSB sees itself as the legal successor to the National Olympic Committee (NOK) of the GDR and supports the GDR doping victims. After the fall of the Wall, the GDR-NOK was absorbed with its remaining assets of around five million marks in the NOK of the Federal Republic.

The DOSB is critical or even negative about the topic of e-sports .

Awards and honors

Memberships and international involvement with third parties

The DOSB participates in the following bodies:

Olympic applications

Munich 2018 and 2022

In 2009, the DOSB applied with Munich for the 2018 Winter Olympics . The competitions should take place next to Munich in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and on the artificial ice rink at Königssee . The members of the IOC awarded the games to Pyeongchang in South Korea on July 6, 2011 . A renewed application for the Olympic Winter Games 2022 did not take place after all four referendums on November 10, 2013 in the participating cities and municipalities voted against it.

Hamburg 2024

Vote on Hamburg's application on March 21, 2015 in Frankfurt

The DOSB competed with Hamburg at the International Olympic Committee to host the Summer Olympics in 2024 and the Paralympic Summer Games in 2024 and possibly for the Summer Games in 2028. This decision was by the member organizations of the DOSB at the extraordinary general meeting on 21 March 2015 the Frankfurter Paulskirche taken. On November 29, 2015, the population of Hamburg rejected the application in a referendum , whereupon the application was withdrawn.

Rhine-Ruhr 2032

Since 2016, a private-sector initiative has been campaigning for Germany to apply as a venue for the 2032 Summer Olympics in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region in North Rhine-Westphalia. Berlin was also interested in hosting the 2032 Summer Games. The DOSB decided to start the application process with the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region in February 2020.

Campaign "Movement Against Cancer"

In 2020, the DOSB and the German Cancer Aid Foundation strengthened their cooperation with other action partners such as the German Sport University Cologne (DSHS) as part of the “Movement against Cancer” initiative . In the future, topics such as trainer qualification and the expansion of health sports offers in the clubs will also be on the agenda. DOSB and Krebshilfe had already started the nationwide prevention campaign “Movement Against Cancer” in 2014 with a nationwide poster campaign and events in numerous sports clubs. The Olympic champion Britta Heidemann , soccer world champion Wolfgang Overath , television presenter Shary Reeves and other sponsors were added as honorary ambassadors from top-class sport . With regard to increased cooperation, the Krebshilfe board chairman Gerd Nettekoven emphasized : “Sport and exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer.” DOSB board member Karin Fehres said: “We don't just want people to see the positive effects inform about sport and exercise, but also further expand the health-promoting offers in sport Germany. ”At the same time, in cooperation with DOSB, Krebshilfe and the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS), for example, the topic of qualifying rehabilitation sports instructors is to be taken up. Sports activity can also play an important role in therapy and aftercare.

Attitude to e-sports

The DOSB's position on the subject of e-sports is critical or even negative. If the association had previously completely rejected electronic sport, the DOSB has been dividing the competition using video games since 2018 on the one hand into the competition in electronic sport simulations, which is supported and promoted, and on the other hand into eGaming, whereby eGaming includes all other genres. eGaming is not supported by the DOSB, the term eGaming only exists in Germany. All other nations see esports as a whole as a uniform phenomenon consisting of different genres. The DOSB's position on the subject of e-sports has been criticized many times by experts and scientists. The DOSB also rejects e-sports as a sport because the degree of physicality is too low. Critics counter that on the one hand this is an inadmissible narrowing of certain defining features of the term sport, on the other hand, studies by the Sport University Cologne show, among other things, that e-sport is also to be considered a sport in terms of physicality.
