history
The establishment of a gymnastics club, which had been under discussion for a long time, was promoted by the construction of the first municipal gymnasium, which was completed in 1877 "Im Hagen" (today Green Street). So on July 29, 1877 the "Quakenbrücker Turnverein" was founded.
In 1910 the first women's department was founded.
In 1915 the new gymnasium on Burgstrasse was inaugurated, while the old building was used as the mortuary of the old Protestant hospital.
On January 29, 1946, the club was renamed "Quakenbrücker Turn- und Sportverein von 1877" and the club life was resumed after the Second World War , although the gym, sports field and all halls of the city were occupied or closed by the occupation troops and neither had their own exercise rooms Gym equipment was available. In April 1948 a national gymnastics festival was held with the participation of over 1,000 people. All branches of gymnastics and sports were represented, an athletics department had been formed, fist and handball were part of the club's program, and swimming was also maintained in the old outdoor pool despite insufficient opportunities. In 1952 a marching band was founded within the gymnastics club, in the same year the Jahn sports field and on October 18, 1953 the gym extension on Burgstrasse was inaugurated.
Basketball departments
The Artland Dragons emerged from TSV Quakenbrück .
In the late 1950s, ball sports such as soccer, handball, and basketball became more popular than apparatus gymnastics. The QTSV took this into account and, in September 1956, accepted a basketball interest group that had formed at Artland-Gymnasium as a new basketball department in the club. From 1958 the QTSV played in the city league Osnabrück, in 1962 it was promoted to the district league, then to the state league, the highest class in Lower Saxony at the time. In addition, strong youth teams grew up. In 1966 a women's department was established.
From the youth team came Günter Kollmann , who made it up to the junior national team and later became the North German runner-up as team captain and coach of the A-youth team. In 1968 the school team of the Artland-Gymnasium, which consisted exclusively of QTSV players, became Lower Saxony champions and reached third place in the German championships. The men's team was assigned to a league reorganization of the Association League West and in 1972 made it to the top division. In the second year, the Lower Saxony championship and promotion to the Regionalliga Nord, which was followed in 1975 as one of the founding members of promotion to the second division.
For promotion to the Bundesliga in 2003, the first men's team was spun off into an independent GmbH under the previously used team name Artland Dragons. The GmbH cooperates with the TSV Quakenbrück in the youth field.
The basketball departments of TSV Quakenbrück are still sporting successful.
