The rowing club Gelsenkirchen 1920 e. V. ( RVG ) is a non-profit sports club for leisure, student and performance rowing in Gelsenkirchen-Schalke . The club's premises are located in the port of Gelsenkirchen on the Rhine-Herne Canal .
The RVG was founded on November 29, 1920 and is entered under VR648 in the register of associations at the Gelsenkirchen District Court. It is affiliated with the German Rowing Association in Hanover and the North Rhine-Westphalian Rowing Association in Duisburg .
The first German championship was won in Mannheim in 1947 in a four-man without a helmsman . The greatest sporting success to this day is the gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome by the two-man with helmsman consisting of Heinz Renneberg , Bernhard Knubel and Klaus Zerta . Born in Gelsenkirchen, Thomas Domian began rowing at RVG in 1977, moved to the Hansa rowing club in Dortmund from 1898 and won the gold medal in Germany eighth at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul .
The concentration of the promotion of the rowing sport on federal bases , especially in the nearby Federal Competence Center for Rowing Dortmund (also: Olympic Base Westphalia ) as well as in the neighboring "Federal Base for Young People Rhein-Ruhr Essen", made a reorientation of the club's work necessary. The focus today is on popular and school sports.
Considerations to give up the club premises, which were put into operation in 1923, because of the need for renovation and to relocate it to the vicinity of the Zoom Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen , could not be realized.
