history

Association foundation and development

After most of the sports clubs were banned during the Second World War, from 1945 the municipality of Kapfenberg and the Böhler company made efforts to re-create structures for sports in Kapfenberg. A first annual general meeting took place on August 19, 1945, at which time the club was called the Kapfenberg Amateur Sports Club . First, sections for football, table tennis, handball and winter sports were formed, and in 1947 also for fencing and chess. At that time the Kapfenberg sports association had over 400 members.

March 21, 1947 is given as the official founding date, when the club officially renamed itself Kapfenberger Sportvereinigung . The legal foundation date is June 29, 1948.

In the following years more and more sections became part of the KSV. In 1975 the KSV already had 19 sections and seven affiliated associations with a total of around 3350 members. In 2008, the KSV consisted of 24 branch associations and 14 affiliated associations with around 5500 members.

Conversion of the sections into their own branch associations

In 1996 the sections became legally independent branch clubs, since up to this point the entire financial risk of all sections lay with the board of the Kapfenberg Sports Association. Since October 1996 the KSV has acted as the main association for the independent branch associations.

Football has been a part of the club since the Kapfenberg Sports Association was founded. Kapfenberger SV achieved its greatest success in the 1950s and 1960s when it belonged to the A-League . From 2008 to 2012 the club was again represented in the top Austrian league.

In 1997 the former soccer section became an independent branch club.

→ Main article: Kapfenberg Bulls

The Kapfenberg Bulls have been playing in the Austrian basketball league without interruption since 1991 . From 2001 to 2004, the club was able to achieve four championship titles in a row in the top Austrian league, the then A-League. The team also won the cup three times . In 2017, the Bulls won their fifth title.

The club, originally from Aflenz Kurort , has been a branch of the Kapfenberg Sports Association since 1996 . In that year there was a merger with the KSV basketball section, founded in 1965 , which reached the Styrian regional league as the top division.

In the summer of 2009, the Icetigers , which had previously gone into bankruptcy, became a division of the association .

Junior model

In 1997 the young model Kapfenberg was founded, which has both sporting and educational goals. In 1999 a class with a focus on sport was formed in the BG / BRG Kapfenberg. In 2001 the polysportive project was started, in which the physical education of the eight elementary schools in Kapfenberg is supported by trained trainers with the aim of offering elementary school children the best possible general sporting education.

In the summer of 2003, the team sports academy was launched under the auspices of the KSV in the upper level of the BRG Kapfenberg. This project mainly focuses on the sports of soccer, basketball and ice hockey, but is also open to individual athletes. The team sports academy includes a boarding school as well as training units in the morning and club training in the afternoon.

There is a cooperation with the FH Joanneum under the name "School, training and sport in one place".
