history
The foundation of today's TSB goes back to the "Swabian gymnastics father" Johannes Buhl , who organized gymnastics festivals in the early 1840s and intensively promoted gymnastics . On June 10, 1844, his 40th birthday, he founded the Gymnastics Society Gmünd and became its first chairman. In December 1853 the club was initially dissolved, but in February 1856 Buhl succeeded again in organizing the gymnastics club, this time as a men's gymnastics club . In April 1858 the workers in the association split off after a dispute with the merchants and in turn founded the Gmünd gymnastics community . Buhl remained chairman of both clubs and contributed significantly to the reunification of both gymnastics clubs, which were re-constituted on January 9, 1864 as the Gmünd Gymnastics Association .
After Buhl's death, the merchants separated from the gymnastics union and in 1883 re-founded the men's gymnastics club . It was only on March 20, 1919, came to the final overcoming of class distinctions and the Association at a gymnastics club, which henceforth be Turngemeinde Gmund 1844 called.

Only the dance club Rot-Weiß and the Boxring Gmünd , founded in 1950 , joined the club and expanded the range of sports to include dancing and boxing .
On April 7, 1976 there was a merger with the 1946 re-founded Sportfreunde Gmünd , who brought football and badminton into the club marriage. The club grew to 2,200 members and was named Turn- und Sportgemeinde Schwäbisch Gmünd 1844 e. V. , white and blue were chosen as the club colors.
