The first bowling clubs were in the first half of the 19th century founded make up after the introduction of the right of association and bowling club e formed. In Germany they joined together in 1885 in an umbrella organization, later the German Bowling Association. Due to the structure of the clubs, the rules of bowling could be standardized, and the organizational requirements for the first German championships (which were then called "federal festivals") were thus created. In Germany alone, well over 100,000 people are members of a bowling club. Bowling clubs are often mentioned as examples when it comes to either banality or the desire of many Germans to join a club.

Proof of the early skittles from 1265 is shown in a handwriting by monks from the North Rhine city of Xantes. A bowling guild is reported there for the first time. Citizens of the city and the Catholic clergy of the St. Victor monastery formed a "fratres kegelorum" (Brothers of Bowling). Today something like this would simply be called a bowling club.
