history

1965–1980 - From the foundation to the second division

The history of Düren volleyball began in 1965 with a school AG at the Natural Science High School (now Wirteltor-Gymnasium ). Volleyball players from the group of the teacher Bernd Malzbender founded the volleyball department at the Düren gymnastics club in 1847. This group included u. a. today's sports director Goswin Caro and Josef Kaulen, who works in the office today. Economic development began in 1970 with the entry of the Peterhoff company . The company became the main sponsor , while the current boss Erich Peterhoff junior and his brother Andreas were also active as players for Düren. In 1972 volleyball players from the University of Calgary , the "Dinos", came to Düren for a training game. The return visit to Canada took place a year later . This resulted in a friendship that continues to this day, which brought several Canadian coaches and players to Düren. A few weeks after the trip, DTV made it to the second division for the first time . The decisive game won the team with coach Jean Janssens in front of 1200 spectators in the hall of the commercial schools.

1980–1996 - Between first and second division

1980 Düren rose to the first Bundesliga for the first time . The Dutchman Leo Richardson was the first foreigner to play for DTV. Despite a win on the last day of the game, the team missed relegation. In the years that followed, the Dürener team led by Hans-Jörg Feltes made it up several times. In the 1992/93 season they were subject to relegation. In 1994/95 they reached fourth place in the DVV Cup , but in the Bundesliga they had to relegate in ninth place after the main round. A year later succeeded in the immediate return to the first division.

1996–1999 - professionalization and first successes

In 1996, the TV channel from Düren signed Michael Mücke as a new coach. At the same time, the staff was expanded and the office was modernized in order to organize the association more professionally. In addition, on August 20, 1996, the “Moskitos” fan club was founded on the initiative of Helmut Schmitz and Hermann Notthoff. Players like Jörg Ahmann , the first German Olympic medalist in beach volleyball , Franz Zacharias from Kazakhstan and Rüdiger Bauer shaped this time. As the host of the Final Four tournament in the DVV-Pokal , which took place on 25./26. January 1997 was held in Birkesdorf . The hosts took fourth place. In the Bundesliga they managed to stay up for the first time with two victories in the relegation against TV Biedenkopf and USC Münster . In the next two seasons, DTV was also successful in relegation and thus established itself in the Bundesliga. After the 1998/99 season Michael Mücke announced his departure and moved to Wuppertal.

1999–2004 - Cup finals and European Cup

The Düren people now used their contacts to Canada that they had established in the 1970s. With Frank Enns , Keith Hansen and Brian Gavlas , Canadian coaches worked for the Bundesliga club for the next three years. In the 1999/2000 season Düren qualified for the first time for the playoffs of the Bundesliga. The association has succeeded in doing this every year since then. The first time the DTV reached the game for third place, which was lost against Wuppertal . In the following 2000/01 season, the team was allowed to start in the European Cup for the first time. In the first round of the CEV Cup , she lost 3-2 and 3-1 to Innsbruck . She was more successful in the DVV Cup when she lost 3-1 to hosts VfB Friedrichshafen in the final . The Bundesliga season closed Düren after a defeat in the match for third place against the SCC Berlin again from fourth. In 2001 the team was renamed evivo Düren after an energy product from the main sponsor Stadtwerke Düren . In the 2001/02 CEV Cup she took part in a preliminary round tournament in Montpellier . There, after defeats against the hosts (0: 3) and Gran Canaria (1: 3), she managed a 3-1 win against Portuguese participants Funchal . In the DVV Cup , evivo reached the final against Friedrichshafen for the second time in a row, which this time was held in Riesa and again ended with a victory for VfB. In 2002 Bernd Werscheck , who had previously worked as an assistant coach in Düren, joined evivo as head coach. In the 2002/03 season, his team had to admit defeat to league rivals from Wuppertal both in the playoff quarter-finals and in the cup round of 16 . A year later, the Düren team managed to get revenge in the playoff games for third place.

2004–2008 - runner-up and Champions League

In 2004, the Düren volleyball players moved from the Burgau high school to the newly built arena in the district of Düren . Since then, around 2500 spectators have been able to watch the home games. In November 2004 evivo hosted the preliminary round of the CEV Cup . The Dürener were able to prevail with wins against TSV Hartberg ( Austria ) and Brčko ( Bosnia ) despite a defeat against Rivijera Budva ( Serbia and Montenegro ) and reached the round of 16 against Tourcoing Lille Métropole , in which they scored 3: 2 and 0: 3 documents. In the playoff semifinals of the Bundesliga , evivo beat the defending champions 3: 2 in front of a home crowd after a 3-0 win in Berlin and thus qualified for the first time for the playoff final, the Düren after three defeats against Friedrichshafen as a German Finished runner-up.

As runner-up, the Düren team took part in the Champions League for the first time in the 2005/06 season . In the first game, the newcomer was only one point missing from the match point in the third set away against Sisley Treviso . Against the hotVolleys Vienna and Noliko Maaseik there was then one victory and one defeat for the team around Sven Anton , Ilja Wiederschein and Till Lieber .

In the DVV Cup , evivo missed the final, which was held for the first time in the Gerry Weber Stadium , with a semi-final defeat against Moerser SC .

Düren qualified for the final in Halle and was defeated by Friedrichshafen in the tie-break .

Since 2008 - consolidation and new successes

Since the club had debts due to the participation in the Champions League and the associated obligations (television time etc.), evivo had to act more economically in the following years.

A year later, the team came to the playoff semifinals , in which they lost to Haching. The southern Germans were also the opponents in the DVV cup final .
