history

Schematic representation of the club's history

Founding years

On November 29, 1910, Julius Richter and his brother Gustav Richter, at the instigation of Herbert Schulz-Schomburgk, called together a few tennis players and those interested in sports to found the Nuremberg Hockey Club . Karl Brochier , Otto Günther, Alpin Ruppert , Heinrich Kurz and two English people staying in Nuremberg were other founding members. Since the company also had an ice hockey team in addition to a cricket team when it was founded, the NHC quickly became a meeting point for the growing number of people interested in ice hockey. The first official game was played against MTV Munich , which they lost 6-0. Thanks to the free game at the Nuremberg Dutzendteich , the club quickly gained popularity, which is why it soon had 40 active members. The Herrnhütte sports field, which was shared with FC Concordia , offered a first sporting home. However, as this no longer met the demands of the club due to a lack of space, the decision was made to build an independent facility in Pegnitzgrund in 1913, which was one of the most modern hockey facilities in all of southern Germany in its time. In the years that followed, the NHC celebrated the North Bavarian Championship several times in a row in both men's and women's hockey.

Between the world wars

In order to continue gaming after the end of the First World War , which could no longer be maintained on the own sports facility because many players did not return from the war, the NHC joined TV Nürnberg in 1846. Members who did not want to join TV Nuremberg founded the Nuremberg Hockey Society on September 2, 1920 . Nevertheless, the NHC was runner-up in the first Bavarian ice hockey championship in 1920 and won the Düsseldorf gold cup and the Hamburg silver bowl in field hockey. On September 22nd, 1921, the NHC became an independent club again under the name of Nürnberger HTC, since tennis was now included in the official program and on October 17th it bought a sports complex on Rothenburger Strasse. A grass pitch, a practice field, four tennis courts and a club house were built here by 1928, before the site had to be sold again in 1935 because it was needed for residential construction.

In the 1920s, the HTC was several times the North Bavarian runner-up in ice hockey.

After many interim solutions, such as a sandy desert on Leyher Strasse or a meadow in the stadium area, the club has been based on Siedlerstrasse in the east of Nuremberg since 1937 , where two hockey, four tennis courts and an enlarged clubhouse have been rebuilt. The site could only be leased after long and arduous negotiations with the Bavarian state. In the 1939/1940 season, the NHTC was able to secure its second Bavarian field hockey championship with a win against Jahn Munich and advanced to the semi-finals of the subsequent German championship . The subsequent Second World War , however, again destroyed the sporting work and the club. 28 members did not return from military service.

Post-war years

In the post-war years, it did not take long for active members to rebuild the club's grounds, so that the first games took place again. After the last game of an NHTC ice hockey team took place on March 4, 1951, the ice hockey department, which was the only one together with that of the HGN in Nuremberg, dissolved in 1952. The ice hockey department of the HGN merged in 1959 with the Club am Marienberg (CaM) to form SG Nürnberg (SGN) , from which EHC 80 Nürnberg emerged in 1980 and then the Nürnberg Ice Tigers . 1954/55 and 1955/56 were the winners of the 3rd and 4th Bavarian Hockey Championships. By 1957, the club premises were expanded to include three more tennis courts, so that from now on seven were available and the clubhouse was enlarged. The number of members rose to 400 during this period. An important milestone was set with the purchase of the club premises on Siedlerstrasse in the Zerzabelshof district of Nuremberg on December 23, 1957.

After winning the 5th Bavarian Hockey Championship, the decision was made to use the income from the increased membership fees at a general meeting in 1961 to renovate the washing and shower rooms and to start renovating the tennis facility. In addition, plans were made to build the new clubhouse from 1965, which dates back to 1928 and was made of wood. After two years of planning, the necessary building permit was granted by the city in 1967 and the construction of the new club house and the first club's own tennis hall in Nuremberg, which opened on October 1st of the same year, began. In the same year they also won the 6th Bavarian Championship.

Recent past

In August 1971, the decision was made to begin with the rest of the construction projects for the new clubhouse in October of the same year and to turn the hockey field by 90 ° in order to be able to create two more tennis courts. In the 1990s, through the decision to make the NHTC the center of excellence for hockey in Northern Bavaria, and with grants from the Free State of Bavaria, the BLSV and the city of Nuremberg, it was decided to install an artificial turf pitch and build a second tennis hall. The third tennis court was opened by 2003 and the clubhouse was extensively renovated and the twelve-year-old artificial turf surface was replaced. Today the club has eleven tennis courts, two indoor tennis courts and an artificial hockey pitch.
