TSV 1860 Hanau
The TSV 1860 Hanau is a gymnastics and sports club from the city of Hanau in Frankfurt Rhine-Main in Hesse . The club, which is mainly rooted in the Lamboy / Tümpelgarten district, became known nationwide primarily for its football division , which was successful before the Second World War .
Club history
The Association of Cigar Workers was founded as early as 1840 and is specified by the TSV 1860 Hanau as its legitimate legal predecessor. Due to a denunciation in 1851, 20 members were arrested in the restaurant Zur Weißen Taube (still exists today!) And brought before a court martial in Kassel. After their innocence was established, the members were able to return to Hanau. During this arrest, the club's treasury was confiscated with 1048.91 florins , which has disappeared to this day. Due to the lack of funds, the cigar workers' association had to be dissolved. The club flag of the Hanau tobacco club then became the club flag of the newly founded gymnastics club of the cigar workers in Hanau in 1860 .
The TSV 1860 Hanau was founded on November 9, 1860 under the name Turnverein der Cigararbeiter Hanau . In 1878 the name was changed to Turnverein Hanau and in 1881 some of the members who became independent as Turnverein Hanau in 1881 were split off . In 1905 a football department was established at the Hanau gymnastics club.
On August 20, 1922, the separately existing clubs came together again and merged under the name Turn- und Sportvereinigung Hanau . But as early as 1924, in the course of the so-called “ clean divorce ”, there was another split, in Sport 1860 Hanau and TV 1860 Hanau . Sport, in turn, merged after only four years, on February 25, 1928, with the Viktoria 1894 football club to form the game association 1860/94 Hanau . During this merger, the sports field on Freigerichtstrasse in Hanau, which was inaugurated in 1904 and was one of the oldest playing fields in Germany, was taken over. In 1934 the footballers of the Spielvereinigung 1860/94 rejoined the Turnverein 1860 Hanau .
On March 23, 1957, the club name was changed to Turn- und Sportverein 1860 Hanau .
History of the football department
Hanau was one of the early strongholds of football in Germany , which from the 1890s gradually found its supporters in the cities of the German Empire. In 1894, one year after the founding of the local pioneer club FC Hanau 93 , FC Viktoria 1894 , one of the predecessor clubs of today's TSV 1860 , was born. This club was one of the founding members of the German Football Association (DFB) on January 28, 1900 .
Although the FC Viktoria team was mostly overshadowed by the extremely successful 93ers , it was always on par with the best clubs in the region and played in the top division of the Süddeutscher Association until the First World War and then until 1923 and finally in 1926/27 Football clubs (VSFV). The greatest sporting success of Viktoria was winning the North District Championship in 1909/10 and the associated entry into the finals for the "Süddeutsche", where, however, behind the later German champions Karlsruher FV , FC Bayern Munich and the VfR forerunner Mannheimer FG 1896 only took the last place.
By joining the association Melita Hanau to the gymnastics club Hanau in 1905 a football department was created in the meantime that the VSFV joined but only in 1912 and sporty only entered significantly in appearance after 1924, the separation was carried out by the gymnasts and one now called Sport Began in 1860 .
The motivation for the merger of Viktoria 94 and Sport 1860 , which took place on February 25, 1928 , was mainly due to the fact that the Victorians were relegated from the highest class in 1927, to which the "athletes" had risen at the same time. By bundling the forces one wanted to assert itself permanently in top football, but at the end of the 1928/29 season the merged team was relegated.
The club played from 1939 to 1941 in the Gauliga Hessen- Süd and 1941/42 in the Gauliga Hessen-Nord, before relegation also took place here.
After the war, the team started in the second-class national league in 1945/46, but was relegated after two seasons and gradually disappeared deeper and deeper into the lower leagues. In the 2016/17 season, the TSV 1860 Hanau soccer team is part of the Hanau regional league.
The last great media attention was not directed to the sporting achievements, but to the fact that on August 30, 2002, in the presence of the talent Rudi Völler, who emerged from the club's youth department, the club's own Rudi Völler sports facility was inaugurated. By the way, Rudi Völler had already been made an honorary member in 1990, his father Kurt Völler four years later.
