The tennis club Moers 08 e. V. is a tennis club from Moers , founded in 1908 , whose first women's team was represented in the women's Bundesliga and became German team champion in 2004 .

history

On July 24, 1908, the TC Moers 08 was founded by 47 Moers citizens under the name Lawn-Tennisclub Mörs , which was officially entered in the register of associations of the Royal District Court of Moers on August 20, 1908. With the private provision of land by a family from Moers, the first tennis court in Moers could be built in the city park at the end of the 19th century, which some families used as a tennis company.

The history of the tennis club began with a single place in a new location in the city park. After the First World War and the Great Depression, the club received its last domicile for a long time in the city park in 1927 on a site that, in cooperation with the Moers Hockey Club and the Moers MTV, had four tennis courts. At the same time, the club name was adapted to the spirit of the times by changing the statutes in the Moers 08 tennis club .

After the Second World War, the facility, which was destroyed in the war years, was reopened in 1949. In 1993 the tennis club had to move from the city park to a newly installed tennis area on Filder Strasse, equipped with seven outdoor courts and a spacious clubhouse.

Women's department

In 1997 the club handed over responsibility for professional and thus paid sport to HSME under the leadership of the former sports steward Stefan Hofmann when the first women's team played in the first division. In 2000 the team was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga and in 2002 to the 1st Bundesliga . Two years later she was surprisingly undefeated German team champion . In the anniversary year 2008, the team took third place behind Benrath and Karlsruhe . The most famous players of the successful years were, among others, the Pole Agnieszka Radwańska and the top German players Angelique Kerber and Julia Görges . Until 2016 , the Moers players played continuously in the Bundesliga (some with sponsor names: 2002–2013 TC ZWS Moers 08 , 2016: TC DD Daumann Moers 08 ). In 2017 , the targeted resurgence was clearly missed. For health reasons, however, the long-standing manager Hofmann surprisingly had to step back in the course of the year. Since he could no longer take on the organizational tasks, the club withdrew from professional tennis, although a new attempt at the Bundesliga was supposed to be started in 2018.
