TV 1901 Michelbach
The TV 1901 Michelbach (TVM) is a gymnastics club in the Michelbach district of the Lower Franconian town of Alzenau .
history
A few people in Michelbach , probably inspired by the surrounding towns, discovered their love for physical activity. These people were August Huth and Peter Bauer, they founded the TVM on July 15, 1901.
In a letter dated July 21, 1901 to the Royal District Office of Alzenau, a meeting was invited to found a gymnastics club. The Gasthaus Zum Hahnenkamm was the place where 22 men founded an association in 1901, of which they would have no idea what success it would achieve.
In 1902 the TVM joined the Turngau Main Valley. From there, gymnasts from Michelbach also took part in the Gauturn events, often with great success.
The first club flag was drawn up five years later, and it is still carried on representative occasions today.
Since the association officially founded the minstrel march department in 1912, today the oldest minstrel march in Bavaria is in its own ranks. He became German Champion of the DBV in 2004, 2006 and 2010.
Today the gymnastics club comprises the following branches:
- do gymnastics
- Handball
- marching band
- Fitness & Health
- active gentlemen
- Cyclist meeting

founding
The minutes books of the founding years already repeatedly report on the acquisition of drums and pipes, but it was not until the minutes of February 24, 1906 that "minstrels" were mentioned for the first time in club activities. A week earlier, on February 17th, 1906, seven minstrels signed a real commitment for the club, because if they resign in the course of the year or leave their work as minstrels, they bring compensation of 5 marks into the club's treasury ".
This small group of drummers and whistlers initially served primarily to advance the gymnasts during the annual turning on and off and to ensure the right step in step during the marches.
The decisive impetus for founding his own marching band came in the following years from the gymnast Emil Huber. During his military service, when he was trained as a drummer, he took a liking to music by minstrels. After his return to Michelbach he began to practice diligently with the existing small group of gymnastics musicians. In the period that followed, the circle was strengthened by more young people, and so the Spielmannszug was officially founded in 1912 .
Thus, the marching band of the TV Michelbach is the oldest, active one in Bavaria today.
At that time, drummers and whistlers existed in many gymnastics clubs - they only accompany the performances of the gymnasts musically and therefore cannot be described as a marching band in today's sense. The actual marching band has its origins in the Prussian military and so the oldest and most traditional clubs can be found in the north and east of Germany. They only spread in the south after the First World War.
Foundation of the senior players' march
In 1982 the senior players' march was founded.
The aim is to give adults who enjoy traditional minstrel music the opportunity to meet up and make music once a month.
The train currently consists of former and older active minstrels of the minstrel orchestra.
In 2012 the senior players' march was expanded to include a fanfare group.
