The hall has been renovated and expanded several times so far.
When general interest in apparatus gymnastics declined at the end of the 1960s, new departments were established within the association and the focus was placed on recreational sports . The Japanese martial arts judo , karate and kendo in particular led to a realignment of the club. In 2009, the kendo department provided Jan Heintz, a current Bavarian individual champion.
