history

prehistory

It is unclear since when table hockey has been played in Germany . There are associations, such as 1. TEC Berlin 1982, that claim to have been playing for more than 20 years. Organized supraregional gaming has existed since the 1st German Championship held on June 6, 1993 in Königswinter . The first strongholds were Bonn , Wilhelmshaven and Hamburg .

The first decade after it was founded in 1995

The growing interest led to the foundation of the DTEV on April 2nd, 1995 in Bremen. In addition to the centers mentioned, other milieus and others emerged and passed. a. in Bremen , Braunschweig and Leipzig .

Particularly characteristic of the association and the German scene was the self-image that their shared passion revolves around "toys for adults". On this point one agreed with the milieu in Austria , but differed significantly from the views of other associations. An example of this was and is the use of pseudonyms for players in the association.

The symbol of the DTEV order was Frank Uwe Walli Walpurgis, who held the office of association president that existed until his resignation in 2004. His work was countered by the anarchic ideas of other activists, who, through their commitment, also played major roles in the association. The success of the model is remarkable, which culminated in hosting the 1999 World Cup in Wilhelmshaven .

Developments from 2005

In terms of time, the provisional end of a career in Valais was accompanied by the creeping absence of the best players. Despite the emergence of new milieus in Berlin , Düsseldorf , Frankfurt and the Sauerland , the association was in a phase of restructuring, as the anarchic and democratic ideas within the association were in competition. Despite all the upheavals, the association was able to co-found the international association ITHF in 2005 as one of the larger . At the beginning of 2012, Gerrit Bull Janssen was appointed chairman by the representatives of the interest groups at the time and took over the management of the association until his resignation at the end of 2017.

Current

After the association was again confronted with the lack of leadership, the individual interest groups founded a seven-person interim management at the German Championships in Lahr 2018, which u. a. The aim was to transform the association into a non-profit, registered association. The work of the interim management culminated in the founding meeting on November 10, 2018 in Hagen and the election of Ralph Pommerenke, Wolfgang Abshagen and Elias Klimek to the board. Since March 2019 the DTEV eV has been registered in the register of associations of the city of Frankfurt am Main.

Tournaments

The DTEV organizes national tournaments and sends a selection of players to international championships.

DTEV tournaments

Including the tournaments that were subsequently declared official, 101 DTEV tournaments have been held since 1991. This corresponds to an average of over three tournaments a year. The years 1994 and 1995 represent high phases with u. a. three tournaments each with around 60 participants and the years 2002 to 2005 with an average of five tournaments. The most successful player of all time is Der Professor with 18 finals. Since 2006, DTEV has hosted the ITHF World Table Hockey Tour with the Berlin Open. Six DTEV tournaments are currently held every year.

German championships

The German championships represent a subset of the DTEV tournaments. German record champions are Der Professor with five and " Der Joe" with seven titles in the individual ranking. The Schlicktown Arctic Veteranos are also German record champions in the team standings with seven titles.

International championships

The number of players that each national association can send to an international championship varies depending on the competition or status (the host can send more players). As a rule, an association may nominate eight players for the open individual competition at a World Cup and ten players for a European Championship. There are also ratings for women, juniors (u13 and u18), veterans (over 40 and over 50) and teams.

In the DTEV, the DTEV ranking list decides on the qualification, which is calculated on the basis of the last DTEV tournaments.
