Gymnastics Club Passau
The Turnverein Passau 1862 e. V. (short: TV Passau ) is the oldest sports club in Passau and currently has around 2000 members.
history
From 1861 gymnastics was also practiced at the Passau volunteer fire brigade and in September of this year even a prize gymnastics was organized. The gymnastics club Passau (short: TV Passau) was founded on March 27, 1862 in the Kreuzwirt pub in the Innstadt, in today's Lederergasse. The first participation in a competition is recorded for May 5, 1863.
In 1880, member Max Huber submitted a proposal to the gymnastics council of the TV Passau to hold a people's tournament with the four disciplines long jump , stone lifting (33 ⅓ pounds ), high jump and race (150 m). The parallels to the sports badge introduced by Carl Diem in 1912 are unmistakable. The gymnastics council finally rejects this proposal after a long discussion. Max Huber founded the Athletes Club (today ASV Passau) in 1893, in which not only weightlifting but also football was played.
From August 12th to 15th, 1893, the TV Passau hosted the 9th Bavarian Gymnastics Festival with over 2,000 participants. In 1898, a lawn tennis court was set up on the gymnasium on Jahnstrasse . These activities were discontinued after the founding of the first tennis club. In 1903 a "ladies' group" was founded; However, women have only been able to become full members since 1912. In 1906, the club's own gym was built with the Jahnturnhalle on the gymnasium in the city center. In 1910 the establishment of its own soccer department took place, whereby the first soccer game on TV Passau can already be proven for 1895. From 1913 there was a separate game department for gymnastics and soccer , in which fistball and athletics are practiced.
In 1919 the athletes club joined the TV Passau as a heavy athletics department. The football department of the athletes' club, as well as the former football clubs Fußball-Klub Passau and Passau Sports Association for Movement Games (PSVfB) join the football department of TV Passau. In 1924 the TV Passau changed its name to Turnverein Passau 1862 after the German-Völkisch gymnastics club "Jahn" Passau had been founded. In the same year, the football and heavy athletics department became independent as FC Passau, now 1. FC Passau , as part of the clean divorce .
In the period from 1923 to 1925, the number of members fell from 1069 members to 510 (1924) to only 358 members. The TV Passau tried to counteract this development by staging city fights in apparatus gymnastics, and by founding a fencing department (1924) and a folding boat department (1925). This situation worsened in 1926 after the establishment of the Christian-German gymnastics club in Passau . As of 1933 , both competing clubs were dissolved because they belonged to Austrian associations and this was no longer legally possible. The TV Passau was brought into line . In 1935 a second, unsuccessful attempt is made to found a tennis department within the TV Passau.
The re-establishment of the gymnastics club Passau in 1862 after the Second World War took place on May 29, 1946, which was confirmed by the military government on August 27, 1946 . The first task was to repair war damage to the Jahnturnhalle, which also housed refugees until around 1949 .
The number of members grew rapidly from around 200 members in 1949 to over 1,000 members in 1954, only to level off to around 2,000 members in the 1980s. TV Passau has been running its own office since 1964.

Club's own sports facilities
Jahnturnhalle and gymnasium
The TV Passau acquired the gymnasium in the city center ( ⊙ ) in 1897 after various "summer sports fields" had been used in the city. In 1954 this area could be expanded again by a previously leased area so that a running track could be built.
In 1906 the Jahnturnhalle was built on the part of the gymnasium in the Innstadt, which has been owned by the association since 1897 , after the "German School Hall" (hall of the former old town school, demolished in 1919 - today the Catholic-Theological Faculty of the University of Passau ) had been used for many years . After 1945, damage caused by the war had to be repaired. Until 1949 the Jahnturnhalle also served as emergency accommodation for war refugees. In 1959 an extension and the modernization of the heating system and the hall floor took place. Renovation work had to be carried out several times between 1984 and 2004.
Folding boat home
The founding of the folding boat department is related to the Nibelungen voyage of 120 boats from Ingolstadt to Vienna, which was first carried out in 1923 . At that time Passau did not have a campsite and accommodation on the premises of the Passau Rowing Club was not possible. In 1926, on the initiative of the newly founded folding boat department of TV Passau, the city built the first folding boat home in Germany on the Bschütt on the Ilz Bridge . The operation was taken over by the folding boat department of the TV Passau. In 1930 this hiking home was expanded to include a boathouse. War damage had to be repaired between 1950 and 1953. This first folding boat hiking home including boathouse was demolished in the course of the expansion of the Bschütt-Bad in 1962.
The new folding boat shelter ( ⊙ ) was built from 1960 upstream of the old location. Most of the costs were covered by TV Passau in-house. From the 1970s, the bedrooms on the upper floor were no longer needed and were therefore rebuilt. In 1986/87 a new boat shed was built, in 1995 an Eternit renovation was carried out and the roof structure was renewed. In 2002 the building was flooded for the first time.
