Ditzingen Rifle Guild
The Schützengilde (SGi) Ditzingen is a shooting sports club based in Ditzingen in the Ludwigsburg district .
history
The club was founded on June 11, 1955 in the Ditzinger Gasthaus zur Sonne under the direction of the first chief rifle master, Alfred Wieland, and on July 1, 1955, it joined the Württemberg State Rifle Association. On July 19, 1955, he was accepted into the Württemberg State Sports Association. Initially, the courtyard and hall of the Gasthaus zur Sonne were used for shooting operations, later the Gasthaus Krone in Marktstrasse and, from 1966, the newly built shooting range in the Ditzinger Stadthalle.
While air rifle and small-caliber shooting, later also pistol shooting, was the focus of the club's life, an archery department was set up in the early 1970s on the initiative of Kurt Wittig, who moved from Weil der Stadt to Ditzingen in 1970, and who was then chief rifleman Hans Tewes founded. In this discipline, the rifle guild soon achieved successes at the state and federal level. Marie-Carmen Wettcke was three times Wuerttemberg champion and was European champion in 1975 in Sweden in field archery.
A separate archery area was opened for archers on June 22, 1975 on Höfinger Strasse. In 1977 the rifle house was built there.
In 1997 the SGi Ditzingen was one of the founding members of the 1st Bundesliga archery . Because of the poor training conditions in Ditzingen, the club withdrew its team from the Bundesliga in 2004. In 2017 he was promoted back to the top class, but was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga (group south) the following year.
