history

Today’s association was originally established as “1st” at the time of the German Empire in 1892. Hannoverscher Schwimmer Club ”was founded - and initially envisaged participation exclusively by men. However, just a few years after the club was founded, in 1896 the "Club" opened to women as well.

When the Goseriedebad opened in 1905, the club organized a "swimming festival" together with the two other Hanoverian swimming clubs, the swimming club Delphin from 1898 and the Neptun swimming club, founded in 1895 . Although swimming was still practiced outdoors in the summer months - “in a pond near Wülfel ” - the three halls of the Goseriedebad were indispensable for the swimming clubs during the cold season.

In 1907 the 1st Hannoverscher Schwimmer Club hosted the German swimming championships in 1907, which were also held in Wülfel .

At the Summer Olympics in Stockholm in 1912 , club member Paul Günther won the gold medal in jumping , making it the first Olympic champion from Lower Saxony. Two swimmers from the club, Grete Rosenberg and Hermine Stindt , also won the silver medal in the 4 × 100 meter freestyle in Stockholm .

In 1913, the 1st Hanover Swimmer Club merged with the Dolphin Swimming Club from 1898 and the Delphin Swimming Club .

After the First World War , the club merged with the Neptun swimming club in 1919 to form the name still used today under the abbreviation HSV von 1892 eV

The most successful athlete at HSV was Grete Rosenberg, who was German champion over the 100 meter crawl eight times in a row from 1913 to 1922 .

Also during the Weimar Republic , the HSV hosted the German swimming championships in 1927 in the newly built Lister Bad .

After the seizure of power and during the Nazi era , the club was in the course of Gleichschaltung also Hannoverscher swimming club or simply swim club also called National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise . Hanover Swimming Club (HSV). In the year of the Reichspogromnacht in 1938, HSV was able to open its own swimming pool including a clubhouse in Herrenhausen as the HSV pool .

After the Second World War , members of the HSV successfully took part in the German swimming championships in Peine in 1949 , similar to the German indoor swimming championships in Kassel in 1950 .

In 1980 the swimming club gave up the use of the club's own HSV pool after the Westschnellweg was only partially expanded in 1966. As a result, the HSV-Bad was converted into an alternative event location called the Musiktheater Bad . Since 1980, the club has been using various pools in Hanover such as the Stadionbad am Maschsee or the Fössebad to practice competitive and popular sports . In addition, there is the Limmer public bath, built in 1925, in the summer months .
