The TSV 1814 Friedland is a gymnastics and sports club in Friedland in the district of Mecklenburg Lake District in the east of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . It describes itself as the oldest still existing gymnastics and sports club in Germany, but has only existed in its current form since 1990.

history

Established as a school sports facility

According to the association, the founding of TSV 1814 Friedland goes back to the Friedland teacher Carl Leuschner . This was inspired by the gymnastics movement around Friedrich Ludwig Jahn ("Turnvater Jahn"; 1778-1852), who built Germany's first gymnastics field in 1811 on the Hasenheide in Berlin .

In May 1814, before the end of the wars of liberation against Napoleonic France , Leuschner began to perform various gymnastics exercises with the boys at his school based on the model of Jahn. He received official support from an early stage because the city of Friedland made the area available for a gymnastics area and even took over part of the cost of the equipment. Among his supporters was the sub-rector of the scholarly school and gymnastics teacher Karl Bülch . The TSV 1814 Friedland was also one of the few gymnastics clubs that the 1819 as part of the Carlsbad resolutions imposed Turn lock survived through which was banned in Germany until 1842 gymnastics.

In addition to gymnastics for young people, TSV 1814 Friedland also introduced gymnastics for adults over time.

Dissolution and re-establishment

After the Second World War and the establishment of the German Democratic Republic , TSV 1814 Friedland was part of various company sports associations in the 1950s . The most important among them was the BSG Empor Friedland , which was converted into the BSG Traktor Friedland in 1967 . After the German reunification , the Friedland 1814 gymnastics and sports club was re-established on June 28, 1990.

The successor club BSG Traktor Friedland managed to return to the district league in 1974, which was held until 1977 and only returned again for the 1989/90 season. The BSG successor TSV 1814 started in 1991 in the newly created fourth-class state league Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (fifth class from 1994, association league from 1995), in which, with the exception of the 1994/95 season, was active until relegation in 2001. In the following period, the team mainly achieved top placements in the national league, but was only able to return to the now sixth class association league in 2009. In 2011 it was again not enough for relegation, which was again kicked in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania regional league (East Staffel).
