history
The club was founded in 1920 under the name Sport Club Union Elberfeld (S. C. Union Elberfeld) as a pure football club. After the founding of the city of Wuppertal (as an amalgamation of the cities of Elberfeld, Barmen, Cronenberg, Ronsdorf and Vohwinkel) the association was called S. C. Union Wuppertal-Elberfeld. In the course of the seizure of power in 1933 , other associations that had to be dissolved joined the S. C. Union Wuppertal-Elberfeld. The branches handball, gymnastics, athletics and boxing were created. The club called itself TSV Union Wuppertal . In 1945 the table tennis department was formed. In 1952 the club entered the club register and has been called TSV Union Wuppertal e. V. In the same year the gymnastics, handball and athletics departments left the union and founded their own club TSV 1887 Wuppertal .

Table tennis
The women's table tennis team was one of the leading teams in Germany after the Second World War . They became German champions twice.

The 1st men's team played in the district league for a long time in the 1980s and even played a season in the state league in the 1986/87 season.
