Athletics community Passau
The LG Passau is a Bavarian athletics community in Passau , consisting of the parent clubs TV 1862 Passau and DJK Eintracht Passau .
history
With the aim of becoming the strongest athletics club in Lower Bavaria , on March 7, 1970, TV 1862 Passau merged with DJK Eintracht Passau and DJK Passau-West to form the Athletics Association (LG) Passau in order to prevent more and more successful Passau athletes from becoming bigger Bavarian associations emigrated. On March 7, 1970, Peter Farnholz (TV 1862 Passau), Lothar Wagner (DJK Eintracht Passau) and Norbert Vogl (DJK Passau-West) signed the founding document for the first athletics community in Lower Bavaria . The DJK Passau-West left the community at the beginning of 1985 due to a lack of athletes.
Investments
