The lawn sports club Hannover from 1926 e. V. is one of the largest sports clubs in Hanover after Hanover 96 and TK Hanover with over 1,600 members. Its aim is to promote family and popular sports as well as youth work. The RSV is one of the clubs with the largest number of members in the Association of German Railway Sports Clubs (VDES) and has its own outdoor pool in the Leinhausen district .
history
The founding meeting of the Reichsbahn-Sportverein took place on October 27, 1926, on this day the formation of the four departments of indoor sports with gymnastics, lawn sports with football, handball and athletics, water sports and winter sports was decided.
The club's canoe system was laid out in 1928 at the Leineufer block in Döhren , which is now Pänner-Schuster-Weg 10 . The city made the adjacent meadow areas available to the canoe department as a sports and tent area. Two disused railway wagons were set up there, and in 1930 the canoeists built a wooden structure over them as a boathouse. This house as well as all boats, tents and accessories were destroyed on October 9, 1943 in the course of the air raids on Hanover .
After the war, the name of the RSV was changed because the Reichsbahn no longer existed. Other Reichsbahn sports clubs were renamed "Eisenbahner-Sportverein" (ESV). At the RSV, however, the R should be retained and so the Reichsbahn was replaced by turf .
On November 17, 1952, the gymnastics and sports hall at the Südbahnhof in the Südstadt was inaugurated. It was originally a building for the building materials testing center that was destroyed in the war and then converted into a sports hall. The RSV was able to expand further and founded further divisions such as B. gymnastics, children's and women's gymnastics and table tennis.
