The LSV is also one of the clubs with the largest number of members in the Association of German Railway Sports Associations (VDES).

development

Today's multi-discipline club has been significantly shaped by the large association merger in the Lehrter Sport in 1938, where MTV Lehrte, founded in 1874, is now the independent SV 06 Lehrte and the Reichsbahn sports and swimming club v. Merged in 1921 to form the Lehrter Gymnastics and Sports Association from 1874 . Even after the war, a significant part of Lehrter's sports life was concentrated in the club, which was re-established immediately and which has had its current name since 1949. The soccer division split off again in 1954 after disputes and, with recourse to the pre-war traditions, brought SV 06 Lehrte back to life.

In March 1974 - the 100th anniversary of the association - the LSV had around 1,800 members in eight branches. Since the second half of the 1970s, the club has recorded a massive increase in membership numbers as well as sporting offers, when new sports and numerous modern popular sports were added to the program. In May 1991 the 3000th member was honored. Shortly beforehand, the club had also bought back the Jahn gym in Feldstrasse, which was built in 1929 and sold to the Reichsbahn during World War II , and then expanded it further. In addition to the gym, there has also been a tennis facility and a fitness studio since 2015. The latter brought the club another big leap in membership numbers and let them climb above the 4000 mark for the first time.

Departments

Handball

Handball has been played in Lehrte since 1921, when the new game was introduced in a very short time at what was then MTV Lehrte and soon also other local clubs and was quickly spread there. Since 1961, a large-scale sports hall suitable for handball has been available in the city center. The home arena has been the Lehrte-Mitte sports hall with a capacity of 474 spectators since the mid-1980s.

Men, women and youth teams are organized in the department. The club is known nationwide primarily because of its first men's team, which has worked its way up to the 3rd division from the Hanover district since the 1990s . The LSV-Sieben became Lower Saxony champions in 2005 and rose to the then regional league , the third highest division of German handball. The most successful thrower in the LSV team was Michael Thiede , who later won the EHF Cup with Frisch Auf Göppingen in 2011 and 2012 . In 2007, he was relegated to the Oberliga Nord. The 2009/10 season ended the team again as Lower Saxony champions (1st place in the Lower Saxony Oberliga) and thus qualified for the newly created 3rd league , in which they had to compete in the East Season in the 2010/11 season. After the direct relegation, Lehrter SV is now back in the Lower Saxony Oberliga. Michael Thiede returned to Lehrte for the 2015/16 season.

Swimming and water polo

Swimming became a sport in one of the LSV predecessors, the swimming club Lehrte v. In 1921, already in operation in the early 1920s, it only came to Lehrter SV as part of the great merger of clubs in 1938. The club's men's water polo team was represented nationwide for many years, and in the 1960s was one of the strongest teams in Germany in the competitions for " Clubs without a winter pool" (VoW) and as one of only a few clubs without an indoor pool even in the Lower Saxony state league played. The LSV-Sieben was the North German VoW winner in 1964, 1966 and 1969, and missed the German VoW title in Misburg in 1967 only because of the worse goal difference. 1997/1998 the Lehrter SV was represented as a lower class club in the DSV Cup and lost there in the first round with 11:13 against the regional league team TV Gut-Heil Billstedt .

The 200-strong department has been one of the few clubs in Lower Saxony to offer women's water polo since 2008. The club's team played in the DSV Cup for the first time in 2013/2014 and lost there in the first round with 2:22 against Bundesliga club SC Chemnitz . In the 2014/2015 competition there was a 2:12 defeat against WSG Oberhausen 97/27. The frequent national player and two-time European Championship participant Tatjana Steinhauer played her first water polo games as one of several girls in a boys' team at Lehrter SV and switched to Bundesliga club Hannoverscher SV in 2006 . In 2010 she became Germany's first female sports soldier in women's water polo.

Triathlon

In 1997 the first triathletes joined the swimming department, and in 1999 they were accepted into the Lower Saxony Triathlon Association. Since January 2003, the Lehrter SV has had an independent department. Justus Nieschlag became European champion in the junior division in 2011 in Pontevedra, Spain, and then vice world champion in Beijing in the same year .
