history

The origins of Sokol V Vienna go back to the 1860s when the gymnastics movement spread through the Habsburg monarchy . The first Sokol Association was founded in Prague on February 16, 1862. In 1867, when Austria-Hungary was founded, the Sokol sports club was founded on March 3rd as a gymnastics club in Vienna. When it was founded, the Viennese association was the 25th sub-organization of the Czech association.

The activities of the association were extensively used and in 1910 there were 30,000 members of Sokol. Volleyball was first played in the Sokol clubs in 1926. In 1953 Sokol was one of the founding members of the Austrian Volleyball Association . In 1941 the association's activities came to an abrupt end when the Nazi regime came to power, schools were closed and the sub-associations dissolved. After the war a first meeting of the association took place and the sub-associations in the 5th, 10th and 15th district were founded. Today the sub-associations concentrate on popular sport and offer various sports options. In 2002 the SVS Schwechat was founded in Schwechat, which is successful in top-class sport in Austria. The TJ Sokol Vienna V continues to focus on the work of young talent.
