history

Zugvogel cycling club

In 1912, while still in the German Empire , twelve individual cyclists from the Reich Association of General Cyclists founded the "Zugvogel Cycling Club". Just one year later, the club organized the race for the “Great Heide Prize”, which ran from Hanover to Walsrode and back.

In the Weimar Republic , the club won the title of German champion in club team driving , and the following year, in 1925, it made the German lawn cycling champion . In 1928 the members got into controversy regarding the ties to sponsors of the industry - only after the era of National Socialism did the members reunite in 1946. Despite the fact that the city center was 90% destroyed by the air raids on Hanover in World War II , the city developed into a stronghold of cycling with real "bicycle battles" and a crowd that is hardly imaginable today. Soon the cycling club was able to record nationwide successes: Otto Gremblewski became German youth champion in Solingen in 1953 “on a very difficult route”, Hanns Brinkmann on July 22, 1956 German amateurs champion .

Migratory Bird Albatross Cycling Association from 1912

In the reconstruction years there was a shortage of offspring in the early 1960s, whereupon in 1965 the "Zugvogel" merged with the "Bicycle Club Albatros Hanover of 1897" to form the "Radsport-Vereinigung Zugvogel-Albatros von 1912 eV", which at the time had 106 members third largest cycling club in northern Germany. Just three years later, in 1968 it merged again with the Black and White cycling club to form the “Hanoverian Cycling Club of 1912”.

The club hosted the German Women's Championship in 1974. In the following year, the long-time chairman of the club, Reinhard Kramer , initiated the “ Night of Hanover ” - the nightly race initially around the market hall , later around the opera house , took place up to and including the 2011 held annually.
