The Artistic Gymnastics Association Koblenz is an amalgamation of several gymnastics clubs in the Koblenz area. It is currently the only club in Koblenz with a team in the second highest competition class and thus tries to maintain gymnastics.
The KTV currently belongs to the TuS Horchheim , TuS Niederberg , TV Moselweiß , TV Nievern , TV Weißenthurm , TV Vallendar , TV Bad Ems and VfL Altendiez . Under the leadership of Klaus-Hermann Wilbert, a youth selection from the entire association area started as the KTV Koblenz II team in the Hessen Youth League.
history
founding
On November 27, 1984, the Koblenz Artistic Gymnastics Association was formed by founding members Hans-Jürgen Herrmann, Herbert Schall, Hans Fries, Lothar Stein, Karl-Heinz Hammer, Monika Sauer, Heinrich Salzmann, Herbert Donauer, Helmut Eppelein, Walter Thöne and Ernst Muscheid Baptized. TuS Horchheim, TuS Niederberg, Coblenzer TG, TV Nievern, TuS Rot-Weiß Koblenz and TV Weißenthurm were among the first member associations of the gymnastics association.
background
The promotion of competitive gymnastics and the establishment of club teams in the performance classes of the German Gymnastics Federation were set out in the association's statutes as declared goals. In order to achieve this, the gymnastics efforts had to be put on a broader financial and personnel basis. With combined forces, the sporting success story that the clubs from Horchheim and Niederberg had initiated in the 1960s by the Koblenz "gymnastics fathers" Herbert Schall and Hans Fries was to be continued. For the sustained support of the 1st team, the consistent establishment of school and youth groups should be initiated from the beginning according to the intention of the chairman at the time, Hans-Jürgen Herrmann. Subsequently, the other chairmen Karl-Heinz Hammer, Wolfgang Kneer, Dr. Rudi Ferrari and Hans Krull, together with the executive team, to raise the necessary resources from year to year so that the first team, as the club's figurehead, could always do gymnastics in the top German class. The current 1st chairman, Dr. Peter Radermacher, has been continuing this task in line with the work of his predecessors since 2006 and is endeavoring to involve the member clubs, sports associations and political partners at regional and local level in the youth and competitive sports and league concept of the Koblenz Artistic Gymnastics Association.
The responsible trainers, referees, medical supervisors and, above all, the “capital” of the club - our gymnasts - are further guarantors of this uninterrupted membership in the German Gymnastics League.
Sporting successes
While the team, to which the former multiple German champions, world championship and Olympic participant Daniel Winkler belonged for one season, was still looked after by Gregor Weißbrich in the first years from 1985, Ralf Schall has been the responsible head coach since 1990. With professional competence and pedagogical skills, he has always understood how to motivate the gymnasts who have been available to him over the years and to weld them together to form a team that competed in the regional and 2nd artistic gymnastics league. Sten Dietrich was at his side at times and he is currently supported by Benjamin Seegler, who has also made a name for himself as a federal and club judge for the Koblenz gymnastics association.
From 1976 to 1982 the TuS Horchheim / TuS Niederberg team did gymnastics in the 2nd Bundesliga and in 1981 even in the 1st Bundesliga , from 1983 to 1990 in the Regionalliga West. From 1985 the team then did gymnastics under the new team name (KTV) “Artistic Gymnastics Association Koblenz” and has kept this name to this day. After the reorganization of the Bundesliga seasons, the KTV team rose again in 1991 to the 2nd Bundesliga, where they stayed until 1993, but then relegated back to the Regionalliga Nord. In 2000, the KTV Koblenz entered a competitive community with the KTV Nahetal-Niederwörresbach in order to tackle the promotion from the Regionalliga to the 2nd Bundesliga again aggressively. After all, four gymnasts from Niederwörresbach came, one of whom was none other than youth gymnast Wladimir Klimenko from Niederwörresbach. Strengthened by these gymnasts and with the help of the Hungarian national gymnast Attila Lörik from Honved Budapest, this goal was achieved with the then youngest league team in December 2000 in an exciting promotion competition in Leipzig. After further successful years in the 2nd league - in 2003 the team reached a 3rd place in the table without reinforcement - the KTV Nahetal – Niederwörresbach withdrew from the competition community in 2005. Due to the significant loss of personnel in the team, the year 2006 decided on relegation to the regional league, in which the KTV, after being re-formed and strengthened by the Swedish national gymnast Björn Slanvall, only did gymnastics for one year in order to be promoted to the second place in the relegation competition in Heidelberg. To make the Bundesliga perfect. After only the competition against TUS Leopoldshöhe was won in 2009, the defeat in the last competition against TK from Kiel sealed the relegation of KTV Koblenz to the regional league. But in the KTV Koblenz they kept the "up" and proved themselves in the relegation competition 2011 with renewed promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. Since then, the Koblenz team has held a stable 6th place in the North relay. It is remarkable over the years that the team of the Koblenz Artistic Gymnastics Association, despite the personnel changes, has repeatedly managed to put together a team that is suitable for the league from predominantly its own gymnasts from the region around Koblenz, which always knows how to assert itself in the 2nd Bundesliga. This is expressed in particular in the current logo or slogan of the KTV Koblenz, which presents itself as the "Team vom (R) ECK" and thus clear emphasis on local ties and regional unity in association with its member clubs, the Turngau Rhein-Mosel and the sporting partners.
However, the KTV Koblenz can proudly point to further successes of their gymnasts, because Jan Damrau qualified for the German (active) championships in 2012, but had to cancel due to injury. In the following years he again took part in the German championships and in 2013 took a pleasing 18th place and in 2014 a respectable 17th place. This makes him one of the "TOP TWENTY" in Germany. He had also successfully participated in the French Bundesliga in 2013 and 2014. Unfortunately, the knee injury in November 2014 abruptly took him out of competition and training. Angelo Schall also achieved a pleasing 18th place at the German Youth Championships in 2013 and also achieved 7th and 8th place in the device finals on horizontal bar and jump. In 2014 he even managed to get 14th place at the DJM. With the change from the youth class to the adult class and also the move from the gymnastics forum to the exhibition hall, Angelo was unable to achieve the required level of training in 2015 to start at the German Active Championships this year. On 20./21. December 2014, as a result of the planned demolition of the Koblenz Gymnastics Forum on Mozartplatz, all equipment, mats and auxiliary equipment had to be removed from the Gymnastics Forum and transported to the temporary exhibition hall at the Wallersheimer Kreisel. Rebuilt there, the exhibition hall will be available to us as a training facility until the planned training center on Koblenz-Asterstein is completed. Since the exhibition hall does not allow for Schnitzel Pit training, additional training units have to be organized in Niederwörresbach, Cologne, Ingelheim and Limburg since the beginning of 2015. The completion of the performance center on the Asterstein should be expected in the course of 2018.
aims
The KTV has set itself the goal of maintaining performance-oriented apparatus gymnastics on the Middle Rhine and promoting it in cooperation with the clubs, Turngauen and the Middle Rhine Gymnastics Association.
