history

RC Diamant Hannover

Today's association was founded during the Weimar Republic in 1927 under the name "RC Diamant Hannover". founded. Similar to other cycling clubs in the late 1920s , the club , which was originally founded in Hanover , joined a large bicycle manufacturer from the outset in order to receive financial support for the company through advertising by the club, which in turn raised the high sums of money for racing drivers and to be able to pay for racing. It was the Hanoverian representative of the Diamant Fahrradwerke in Chemnitz who founded the RC Diamant Hannover with ten other sports comrades on January 11, 1927 with the club's colors blue-orange.

In the beginning, the Hanoverian athletes wore the name Diamant in competitions in the cycling region of the Association of German Cyclists Union (DRU). It was not until 1932 that the club switched to the internationally recognized Association of German Cyclists (BDR), which now made it possible to take part in international competitions.

At the time of National Socialism , according to the address book of the city of Hanover in 1934 , the “Radfahrer-Verein Diamant” had an address at “H. Fischer, Am Bartelshofe 4 ”, and in the year of the beginning of the Second World War , the club also operated in 1939 in addition to racing as well as“ indoor cycling ”, later called indoor cycling , in the fields of cycling polo , cycling and artificial cycling .

RC blue-yellow

If cycling almost came to a standstill during the World War, surviving members were allowed to cycle again shortly after the end of the war in 1945 with the approval of the British military authorities . Soon, however, the club had to rename itself, as the occupying powers had forbidden a connection between the club and bicycle manufacturers. So in 1946 the name was changed to the colors of the new main sponsor , the Continental Gummi-Werke : Blue, as one of the two new colors, made the connection to the Bismarckwerke as their corporate color, while Continental's corporate color was blue and white.

For the purpose of building a desired club home, the then club chairman and later honorary president Aute Lampe founded a sports department in Langenhagen in 1969, only to move the club headquarters there in 1970. With the support of the council of the city of Langenhagen "and with great personal commitment of the members, especially the chairman", the Langenhagen clubhouse could be built there. After completion of the first construction phase on August 23, 1975, the first construction phase was the board member Arno Führ and his wife Meta, who formed the caretaker couple, where the club evenings soon often ended with their Sunday roast.

Since the beginning of the 1970s, the city ​​of Langenhagen's Grand Prix cycling race has been held more than 35 times. Hajo Westphal initiated the race "Across the district of Hanover ", while Jürgen Bernhardt and Horst Wagner initiated the popular cycling, which is organized regularly in cooperation with the Sportring Langenhagen.

With the completion of the gym in 1976, the construction of the "Aute-Lampe-Haus" was completed.
