The recreational sports club Dynamo Windrad eV is a German sports club founded in Wehlheiden with headquarters in Kassel Nordstadt , which is one of the larger clubs in North Hesse . The club developed from a marginal phenomenon of "alternative" sport to a fixture in the nationwide club system, but this is less due to sporting than to sporting political and cultural successes.

history

The club was founded in 1982 by a handful of recreational footballers in Kassel . The aim was to apply for urban play areas for permanent exercise of the sport of football, which they had previously practiced in parks and football fields. In addition, the founders wanted to set themselves apart from existing football clubs "alternatively". To this day, for example, the tradition that the ball is played when the opponent is kicked off, which is supposed to represent a symbol of togetherness in sport and the intention of a fair game, has been maintained to this day. During the legal dispute over admission to the Hessian Football Association, club members traveled to the GDR , the Soviet Union , China and Cuba . The offer was expanded in 2001 to include a sailing department.

Name dispute

With the registration of the Dynamo Windrad club in the Hessian Football Association (HFV), a legal dispute over the name of the club began. The HFV did not want to allow the Dynamo part of the name on the grounds that it was a political statement that by definition does not belong to sports clubs. In the opinion of the HFV, Dynamo recalled the names of GDR associations and was not allowed in the Federal Republic.

Dynamo Windrad filed a lawsuit and argued with the HFV up to the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt am Main , where the association lost the legal dispute. The Higher Regional Court decided that the name addition Dynamo was "spontaneously assigned to the communist-socialist and thus politically left-wing camp by the overwhelming majority of citizens who are not completely indifferent to international sporting events". A pending lawsuit before the Federal Constitutional Court was withdrawn in 1989. At times, the players wore jerseys on which an eagle falls from the DFB emblem.

An attempt to join the German Gymnastics and Sports Association of the GDR failed in 1988 because only GDR citizens were allowed to be members there.

Recognition as a club in the sporting business only took place in 1990 after reunification , after a club with the name Dynamo played in the Bundesliga from 1991 with Dynamo Dresden .

Events

Dynamo Windrad is known today in the nationwide "alternative" football scene and regularly deals with topics such as the social significance of football, racism and xenophobia as well as football satire.

This includes in particular the major events that the association has carried out over the last 20 years. In addition to the annual Kassel leisure tournaments in football ( Bolz Masters in summer and Iron Cup in winter) and volleyball, the stage for leisure football has been opened for international encounters and exchange. For the first time international teams were invited to participate in the German Alternative Championship in Leisure Soccer 2004 (DAM 04) in Kassel. The BOLZ World Cup , held in Kassel in 2006, became the largest event of Dynamo Windrads to date. Five football tournaments for over 120 teams with participants from over 20 nations were held in ten days.

The association organized the Kassel Blues Festival from 1993 to 1997 in the building of the former engineering school. The traveling exhibition "Satanic Heels", which was created in cooperation with the Caricatura association , was shown in 1994 in Kassel and then in 15 German and French cities.
