The KSV (Kraftsportverein) Witten 07 is a sports club from the Westphalian city of Witten , in which mainly strength sports are practiced. The club, which was founded on May 5, 1907, is one of the most successful German clubs in wrestling with seven titles won as German team champions and has belonged to the highest German performance class in team wrestling for over forty years.
Furthermore, various leisure sports activities from aqua gymnastics to senior sports , Tae Kwon Do and Aikidō to strength and fitness training are operated.
history
Until 1945
At the time , “ weight training ” comprised a number of heavy athletic disciplines: wrestling , weightlifting , tug-of-war , round weight juggling , lawn power sports (weight throwing, stone throwing ) and artistic power sports (today sports acrobatics ) were among them. All of this was carried out in Witten at KSV 07, but until the First World War without much external impact.
That changed after the war, the wrestlers of KSV Witten rose next to the Dortmund clubs ASV Heros Dortmund and AC Hörde 04 to the leading in the region. August Nagel and Werner Hertling were the club's first wrestlers to appear in German championship winners' lists. The team fights took place in Witten in front of a large audience, chroniclers reported that the halls were overcrowded (including the “Voss'scher Saalbau”).
After the Second World War
After the Second World War, sport started very slowly in Witten, as elsewhere. Sports equipment and club materials were lost in the bombing raids in 1945 and rebuilding was necessary. Names like August Nagel, Karl Brockhoff, Kuno Schröer or Emil Messingsfeld ensured that things continued. At times the KSV Witten became dependent as a department of the ETSV Witten, but was then constituted again under the old name.
During these years the Witten Wrestling School was founded, which to this day successfully trains young athletes and leads them up to the international class. Under the coach Karl Brockhoff, Klaus Rost developed into the winner of international medals, at the national level the brothers Lothar and Theo Krings as well as Kurt and Dieter Schudlich became trademarks of the KSV.
The time in the Bundesliga
The most successful time of the Ruhr area club began in 1966 with the promotion to the wrestling Bundesliga, which has existed since 1964 . Klaus Rost , Fritz Schrader, Heinz Sperling, Günter Kowalewski , Heinz Eichelbaum , Mithat Bayrak , Müzahir Sille, Tan Tari, later Karl-Heinz Helbing , the brothers Hans Huber and Fritz Huber , Gerhard Weisenberger , Rainer Brockhoff, Detlef Englich, Jochen Klötzing, Hans-Günter Klein , Selim Sari, Ralf Lyding , Jörg Helmdach , Sven Thiele , Volker Anger, Olaf Brandt and Adam Juretzko were wrestlers who shaped the face of the Witten team for many years. The patron and chairman of KSV 07 was entrepreneur Emil Olsberger jun. The German team championships in 1970, 1974, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1983 and 1986 as well as seven runner-up championships (most recently in 1999) and four team titles of the Witten youth teams are evidence of the long-term successful work.
KSV Witten belonged to the Wrestling League without interruption from 1966 to 2009, making it the record club of the German Wrestling Association since VfK Schifferstadt had to withdraw its team at the beginning of 2007 for financial reasons . In March 2009 KSV Witten 07 also had to throw in the towel: the necessary budget for the Bundesliga could no longer be raised, after 43 years Witten left the German elite league and continued in the Oberliga NRW.
In 2007 KSV Witten celebrated its one hundredth anniversary: the official ceremony took place with numerous guests of honor in the Märkisches Museum ; the birthday party was held in the "Wittener WerkStadt". The sporting highlight of the anniversary year was the "German Masters", the age group championship of the German Wrestling Association, which was held in the traditional Husemannhalle in Witten.
In the 2006/2007 season the KSV reached the semi-finals and was eliminated against the eventual champions KSV Köllerbach . The 2007/2008 season again brought the club to the finals. In the quarter-finals, coach Bodo Lukowski's team lost to Siegfried Hallbergmoos , after they had won the second encounter in Bavaria.
At the German wrestling championships in 2007 , Adam Juretzko and Mirko Englich from KSV achieved the Greco-Roman style championship in their weight classes. In 2008 in Bonn they won the silver and bronze medals in the weight classes 74 and 96 kg. Mirko Englich became vice European champion in the 96 kg category in Tampere, Finland. Adam Juretzko and Ilyas Özdemir celebrated a crowning end to their active time at KSV when they won the German championship title and the runner-up in the 74 kg class in Greco-Roman style in Witten in 2009.
Mirko Englich also won the silver medal in the class up to 96 kg (Greco-Roman style) at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 . Most recently the Witten international Klaus Rost (silver at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 1964 ) and Günther Maritschnigg (silver at the Olympic Games in Rome 1960 ).
In spring 2009, KSV Witten 07 withdrew from the Bundesliga and took over the starting position of the second team in the Oberliga NRW. However, there were some bankruptcies in the first season. For the 2010 season, a new beginning with some talents and former wrestlers from KSV Witten was planned and carried out. In the 2010 season it was possible to secure the league championship and the associated promotion. In 2011, KSV Witten will start in the second Bundesliga for the first time in over 100 years of club tradition. KSV's own crops, such as Mirko Klein, Ibro Cakovic and Alexander Storck, were brought back to the Ruhr, so that KSV Witten's first second division season was successfully concluded with third place. For the 2013 season, Mirko Englich moved from 1. Luckenwalder SC back to KSV to end his successful career at home club KSV Witten. There followed (2013-2016) 3 championships and one runner-up in the 2nd Bundesliga West. In 2017, KSV Witten became first class again through the promotion and amalgamation of the 2nd leagues with the 1st Bundesliga.
Today the KSV has approx. 650 members, wrestling is still the main department, but the focus is currently on the youth work in this discipline.
