history

After the rise of football, which began soon after the end of the Second World War, the Badischer Fußballverband (BFV) considered setting up a central training facility. The former Reichssportschule Wilhelmshöhe in Ettlingen initially offered itself as a suitable location, but the project failed because the city of Ettlingen wanted to set up an old people's home here. In 1951, the BFV finally acquired the 50,000 square meter site "Gut Schöneck" on the Durlacher Turmberg . In 1953, the facilities - the stadium, tennis courts and the Turmberghaus as accommodation, administration and farm buildings, were added in 1954 - today's Fritz-Meinzer-Halle was added. Inaugurated in July 1953. The first head of the new facility was Hans Gruber, a long-time player at VfB Mühlburg , who had already worked at the Reichssportschule Wilhelmshöhe.

One of the priorities of the BFV and the sports school was the training of coaches and youth workers for the numerous clubs that came into being in the post-war period. The program also included courses for players, the training and further education of referees and training opportunities for national teams. In June 1954, the German national soccer team prepared for the 1954 World Cup under Sepp Herberger at the Schöneck Sports School . The entrance to the sports school was named after the national coach in Sepp-Herberger-Weg . Due to the idyllic location not far from the popular excursion destination Turmberg, the rush of visitors to the restaurant of the "Turmberghaus" and the associated viewing terrace increased over the years so that Schöneck was closed to day visitors in 1962.

The Schöneck sports school has grown steadily over the decades of its existence, with around 30 million DM invested between 1984 and 2000 alone. Important new buildings and renovation measures were:

  • 1966: New Waldhaus building
  • 1972: New building of hall 2 / swimming pool
  • 1979: New administration building
  • 1986: New arcade house
  • 1987/88: Renovation of the Turmberghaus
  • 1987/89: Renovation of Hall I
  • 1988/89: Redesign of the stadium
  • 1990: New hall 3 with artificial turf pitch (60 m × 40 m), where the roof can be opened in the "convertible style"
  • 1992: Waldhaus renovation
  • 1991/95: Roof renewal and renovation of swimming pool and hall 2

During the Covid-19 pandemic , the professionals of Karlsruher SC went into quarantine in the sports school and prepared for the continuation of the second division season 2019/20.
