North German Velocipede Association

The North German Velocipedist Association was founded on October 22, 1882 in Hanover .

The Velociped , the first German cycling magazine, was founded in 1881 as a specialist journal for the overall interests of the German Velocipede sport and appeared at least in 1883 as the official organ of the North German Velocipede Association.

After disputes, the North German Velocipedists Association emerged from the collapsed German Velocipedists Association , the first German cycling association founded in Munich in 1882 .

In the 1897 Yearbook of the German Cyclists' Associations , the formation of the German Cyclist Association and the emergence of the German Cyclist Association is described in the portrait of Carl Hindenburg as follows: "In 1882, the two associations, opposing each other like hostile brothers, came into being: and Central Germany, as well as the North German Velocipedist Association, the former with its seat in Munich, the other with the Centralstelle in Berlin-Hanover.The mutual hostility presented a sad picture of the position that had been happily overcome in the political field by the great struggles of 70/71 German small states. "

In 1884 the German, the German-Austrian and the North German Velocipedist Association, reunited in the meantime, merged to form the German Cyclists Association .
