history

In 2010 the indoor pool was extensively renovated.
The FT indoor pool is the only public indoor pool in the east of Freiburg. It is open to members and non-members.

The gymnastics club was founded in 1844. In 1848 it was banned as dangerous to the state because a group of armed gymnasts had participated in the Easter fights as part of the Baden Revolution . After a compulsory twelve-year break, the club was able to resume sports activities in 1860. In 1895, the association was the first association in southern Germany to set up its own women's department. In 1905 the club's premises were inaugurated on the old measuring site on Schwarzwaldstrasse. In 1919 the three gymnastics clubs in Freiburg joined the Freiburg Gymnastics Association from 1844 e. V. together. On July 21, 1931, the new club area was moved into, today's FT-Sportpark. In 1945 the association was dissolved again due to Directive No. 23 of the Allied Control Council . From then on, the club's premises belonged to the French occupying forces . VfL Freiburg was founded as the successor club. It was not until 1949 that FT 1844 Freiburg was able to reorganize under the old name.

As a result, the club was able to expand successfully over the years, for example it built the third club indoor swimming pool in Germany with its swimming center, designed the nationwide first sports kindergarten and introduced the socially graded family contribution in 1978. With the opening of the sports kindergarten in Rieselfeld in 2001 and the U3 facility in the Olympiahaus, over 300 children are now cared for in the club's sports kindergartens every year. With the establishment of Germany's first primary sports school in 2007, another educational project was started. The state-approved primary sports school is an all-day school with a special sports and exercise profile. 

With the 54th Artistic Skating World Championships 2009 in Freiburg, with around 1000 athletes from 28 nations, the club organized its largest sporting event to date.

After the death of his predecessor Conrad Schroeder in 2006, the former District President Norbert Nothhelfer (* 1937) was elected President of the Gymnastics Association in April 2010 .

Education and sport

FT primary sports school
The FT-Sportgrundschule is the consistent further development of the sport-educational concept of the club.

Since the 1970s, the Freiburg Gymnastics Association from 1844 has been an independent sponsor of child and youth welfare and has been active in sports education with six different sports kindergartens. The networking of sport and education was and is an important concern of the association and scientific studies prove the opportunities that an integrated exercise concept opens up. The primary sports school , which was founded in 2007, is a consequent continuation of the dynamic educational concept of FT 1844 Freiburg.
