history

The first Wetzlar dance sport club was founded in 1950. The first trainers were Joachim Feller, Theo Bäulke, Wilhelm Weiß and Fritz Römer.

Ursula and Karl Breuer were two world champions and two runners-up world champions in the early 1960s, they won two European and five German championships.

From the mid-1970s onwards, the club organized international tournaments in addition to Hessian and German championships. Around 1975 a special focus was placed on popular sport . In 1976 two couples danced in the special class. Doris Schultz-Eichhorn, Günter Janz ( Latin ) and Magrit Frahm ( standard ) were signed up as coaches .

From 1979 the club was opened for rock 'n' roll and jazz dance . Due to the increasing number of members, the Nauborn community center was chosen as the clubhouse. For six years, Peter Hölters supervised the tournament pairs in both standard and Latin American dances, followed by Ralf Burk (Latin) and Niko Riedl, Ingrid and Friedrich Frech and Patrick Zimmermann in the 1990s (standard).

The International Wetzlar Leica Tournament was held from 1981, and the 2005 Standard World Championship was held in the Rittal Arena . The winners were Ellen Jonas and Volker Schmidt from Wetzlar.

In 1998 the four-time German standard champions Pia David and Stefan Ossenkop (Hamburg) joined the club. After 37 years, they brought back a national title to Wetzlar - their fifth. The pair should stay with the club even after he switched to the professionals and train the club's standard pairs until the end of 2009. Monika Feht took over the Latin tournament group in 2000.

The incumbent chairman Philipp Feht is only the fourth of the association. Under him, children's and youth dance developed positively. Half of the more than 750 members are children and young people. The Hessian Dance Sports Association awarded the club the youth development award in 2010. The dance sport department "Nidda" was also founded in the Schwarz-Rot-Club. Guard - and show dance and line dance were integrated into the offer.

In 2003, Ellen Jonas and Volker Schmidt brought a world championship title to Wetzlar. They became German champions, world number one and “Sportsman of the Year” in the “Team of the Year” category. In the following year the couple was able to defend the world championship title in Antwerp, so that in 2005 the world championship in Wetzlar turned into a successful "home world championship".

In 2007 and 2009 the club hosted the German championships once in Latin and once in standard. The standard amateur world championship was held on November 27, 2010 in the Rittal Arena . On April 30, 2011 they hosted the German championship of the main group over ten dances and on December 3, 2011 the European championship in Latin, which was held as part of the 31st Leica tournament.

With Evgeny Vinokurov and Christina Luft , the club provided the Hessian champion in the Hgr. S Latin.

Today there are over 50 offers, 20 of which are for children and young people. The club members also take part in city events, for example the Hessentag 2012 in Wetzlar.
