The Great Knight Sports Club Eintracht Baunatal eV (short form: GSV Eintracht Baunatal ) is a sports club from the Hessian Baunatal . Culture and sport are combined in a total of fifteen departments. There are departments for theater, music and carnival as well as football, athletics and gymnastics.

history

The association was founded in 1907 in the municipality of Großenritte, which was independent until 1966, as Deutsche TG 1907 Großenritte . After the merger with SV Eintracht Großenritte on September 14, 1933, the association took on the name TuS 1907 Großenritte . After the Second World War, TuS merged in 1907 with the workers' sports clubs ATSV 1919 Großenritte and the cycling club Solidarity Großenritte, which were banned in 1933, to form SG Großenritte . This was renamed in 1946 in the gymnastics and sports club "Eintracht" Großenritte eV , TSV Eintracht Großenritte for short , before the club adopted its current name in March 1983.

Table tennis

The most famous team of the club was temporarily the women's team of the table tennis department. This played since the 2012/13 season in the 2nd Bundesliga / North. After the women's team had just failed to advance to the Bundesliga, it was withdrawn for the 2014/15 season. In the 2015/16 season the team makes a fresh start in the Kassel district league and the first men's team plays in the district league.

Handball

The men's handball department of the GSV is also successful nationwide. Their upswing began with the championship in the Hessian Landesliga Nord in the 2004/05 season and the associated promotion to the Oberliga Hessen. After four seasons, the championship in the Oberliga Hessen succeeded in May 2009 and the team was promoted to the Regionalliga Süd / West. In the 2009/10 season, the team was able to achieve a 4th place as a climber and thus qualified for the newly founded 3rd division. After four seasons in the third division, the championship was won there and promotion to the second division was achieved. The GSV will therefore start in the 2nd Bundesliga for the first time in the 2014/15 season; after the opening of insolvency proceedings over the assets of Eintracht Baunatal Handball-Bundesliga Spielbetriebs GmbH & Co. KG and its general partner, Eintracht Baunatal Handball Verwaltungs GmbH, the team was determined to be relegated ahead of time.

Soccer

The first official soccer team registered the predecessor club ATSV 1919 to play in Großenritte in 1919. After the prohibition of workers' sports in 1933, the ATSV had to dissolve, and all large riding sports clubs were incorporated into the German gymnastics community.

However, the big rider soccer only came into the limelight in the early 1970s, when TSV Eintracht achieved promotion to the third-class Oberliga Hessen in 1971 . The immediate relegation was followed by the prompt return in 1973 and they played another year in the league, but could not hold on again and rose again in 1974. After the club slipped into the fifth division in 1975, the footballers were able to stabilize and in 1986 returned for a third and, for the time being, last time to the Oberliga Hessen. But this ascent was followed by an immediate relegation.

The first men’s team took 3rd place in the seventh-class group league Kassel Season 2 in the 2014/15 season and thus just missed promotion.
