The gymnastics and sports club Eppstein 1889/1910 e. V. (short: TSV Eppstein ) is a gymnastics and sports club from the Frankenthal suburb of Eppstein in the Upper Palatinate.
history
The founding period (1889–1914)
The founding date of TSV Eppstein can be dated back to 1889. This year several young men from Eppstein met under the linden tree in Brunnengasse and spent the hours singing and playing. At one such meeting, the Turnverein (TV) Eppstein was founded in 1889. In the early stages of the gymnastics club, no women were allowed. In 1909 the first gymnastics festival was held with the flag consecration, which is one of the early highlights in the history of the club. The earliest document available today from the history of the TSV Eppstein is a photograph that was taken on the occasion of this event. On June 7, 1911, the association was officially entered in the register of associations and since then has had the addition of e. V.
The time between the two world wars (1914–1945)
The First World War (1914-1918) interrupted the first years of gymnastics in Eppstein 25 years after the club was founded. Gymnastics and sports were not resumed until 1919. Apparatus and youth gymnasts as well as track and field athletes from the club were soon among the most successful athletes in the Rhine-Limburg region. The handball department founded in 1922 was also able to provide a team within a very short time that became known far beyond the Eppstein region due to its style of play. In a short time she achieved promotion to the top division of the German Gymnastics Association , to which the TV Eppstein belonged, and also played the final of the German Handball Cup. The German champions from 1929 and 1930, TV Friesenheim , could also be beaten here. After the Second World War , these successes in field handball could not be continued.
The fact that suitable sports facilities were also in short supply at this time was confirmed by a request from TV Eppstein - which, together with the Eppstein Free Athlete Club - the two clubs, whose successors merged in 1969, were referred to the Eppstein municipal council. When in 1921 the meadow in front of the old Füllenweide was given to the gymnastics club and the old Füllenweide itself to the Free Athlete Club for ten years each, both clubs had to undertake to restore the space and make both parts available together for larger events.
In 1933 a department for small-caliber shooting was founded, whose 20 members practiced their sport in the bowling alley of the Dilfer restaurant in Jahnstrasse. For a long time, TV Eppstein was the largest local association. The mayor's register of November 5, 1925 shows that the membership was 220 people (zither club 130 and choral society Concordia 82). In 1934 only 150 members were counted and a year later the number fell to 140 (choir 130, warrior and military association 88).
In 1934, after the dissolution of all Marxist clubs, TV Eppstein was able to take over the sports home of the communist Free Athletes Club Eppstein, but had to bear the debt of the building on Wesselplatz in the amount of 14,000 RM. A bar for eight Reichsmarks as well as a horizontal bar and a horse for six Reichsmarks each were taken over from the assets. The association finally had the long-awaited meeting place, which was seriously affected during the two flood disasters in 1939/40 and 1940/41 and returned to the previous owner in 1945.
The Second World War (1939–1945), which began at the time of the 50th anniversary of the club, brought the sporting business to a standstill again after twenty years of prosperity. Many club members had to go to war and some of them died on different fronts.
Post-war period and re-establishment (1945–1968)
After the end of the war, when community and club life slowly began to normalize, independent gymnastics was prevented by the French occupying forces. In communities like Eppstein - with less than 5,000 inhabitants - the presence of several sports clubs was also prohibited. Only in the association for sports and personal care - VfK Eppstein - did the youth of the village and the active people who had returned from the war come together, with handball, football and gymnastics being the top priority of the club's life. A new life as a gymnast developed, one could leave anonymity and appear again freely.
In 1948 gymnastics was released again by the French. But it would take another two years until five years after the end of the war and 61 years after the club was founded, the history of the gymnastics club was continued in 1950 with another chapter - the new admission. Unfortunately, as a result of the confusion after the war, items that were important for the club's history, such as club flags, log books, trophies and photographs, had largely disappeared. The newly founded club experienced a tremendous upswing and the desire for its own club house was voiced, which was only realized in 1955 with the purchase of the former restaurant Eger in Hauptstrasse. In 1964 the sports field of the municipality of Eppstein was inaugurated with a field handball game.
The merger and the following years (1969–1990)
For economic and sporting reasons, the Turnverein Eppstein 1889 eV merged in 1969. V. (TV Eppstein) and the Association for Sports and Body Care 1911 e. V. (VfK Eppstein). The sale of the gymnastics home created the new club - the Turn- und Sportverein Eppstein 1889/1910 e. V. - on a sound financial foundation, which he has kept to this day.
The sporting business was initially characterized by football and gymnastics. In 1971 work began on converting the club's own restaurant at Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Strasse 1 - the former VfK home. After a smoldering fire, the club's management decided on a three-stage plan, the first phase of which was to rebuild the club's restaurant, which was able to be put back into operation as early as 1975.
In 1981, after 20 years of abstinence, handball returned to Eppstein, with the new department devoted exclusively to indoor handball and not to field handball , as was the case in the 1960s . In 1984 the roof of the club restaurant had to be completely replaced after considerable storm damage. In addition to the structural progress, the athletes also achieved success. In 1986, the footballers won the B-Class Frankenthal championship and were promoted to the A-Class in the North Front Palatinate. This event celebrated its anniversary with the promotion of footballers to the same class 25 years ago, which celebrated this sporting success in the Pilgerpfad community center. Two years later - in 1988 - the handball players became champions of the district class C1 and thus rose to the B class. The gymnastics department represented the club at the German gymnastics festival in Berlin in 1988.
Recent history (since 1990)
In 1990, together with the gymnastics and sports club Flomersheim 1891 e. V. founded the Spielgemeinschaft Eppstein-Flomersheim in 1990, which established a cooperation in the field of youth football. Two years later, the second Eppstein football club, Sportfreunde 1924 Eppstein-Flomersheim e. V. (commonly known as DJK Eppstein) to the youth game community . TuS Flomersheim left the youth game community after about 15 years, the two Eppsteiner clubs continue to do this to this day, not only in the youth work of the football departments, but also in the area of the old men (football) . In the youth of SG Eppstein-Flomersheim, among others, Paul Ehmann began playing football .
