history

The Turn- und Rasensport Union 1880 e. V. Düsseldorf emerged in 1919 from a merger of the clubs Düsselsdorfer FK Union (formed on May 10, 1905 from a merger of Vorwärts Düsseldorf and Borussia Düsseldorf ), VfR Düsseldorf (called SC Athens Düsseldorf until July 1916 ) and Friedrichstädter TV 1880 . The club celebrated its greatest success when it took part in the final round of the German soccer championship in 1925. Here Düsseldorf failed in the quarter-finals to Hertha BSC .

From 1935 to 1942 the TuRU played in the Gauliga Niederrhein , the top German division at the time; from 1949 to 1952 they played in the second division . In the period that followed, TuRU Düsseldorf sank into the depths of amateur football. In 2004 they were promoted to the then fourth-class Oberliga Nordrhein , from which they were relegated four years later after the 2007/08 season. In the 2012/13 season, the Düsseldorf team will compete in the restructured fifth-class Oberliga Niederrhein .

TuRU plays in the stadium on Feuerbachstrasse , which holds around 8,000 spectators. There is a main grandstand with seats. There is standing room to the left and right of the main stand and on the back straight. The wall behind the gates is green and can be expanded if necessary. The recent attendance record is 3600 viewers from the 2003/04 season at the decisive game for promotion to the league. In the “golden age” of the club, the youth tournaments at Whitsun drew up to 10,000 spectators a day to the stadium, which at that time still held 13,000. In the 1980s, the back straight was reduced to a third of its height, so that 5,000 seats were lost. Until the Second World War , TuRU played in the stadium on Oberbilker Allee (capacity 16,000 spectators), which was 100 meters as the crow flies from today's venue. The club colors are blue and white.

From 1938, TuRU and city rival TSV Fortuna were among the leading handball clubs in the Lower Rhine region. At the beginning of the 1938/39 season, the TuRU, which had not appeared in the DT championship title in 1923 until then (it was no longer represented in the DT district class in 1924/25), took over the place of the DSC Rhenania Düsseldorf in the field handball division class, the top division on the Lower Rhine. The reason for this is unclear, possibly it was a merger or a transfer of the Rhenania team to TuRU. In the following year the TuRU was fourth, in 1941 behind BV Solingen 98 second of their squadron in the now two-part division class. In 1943 the club took part in the final round of the Lower Rhine Championship (the division class had been canceled for the 1942/43 season).

After the end of the war, the TuRU played in the 1946/47 season as a founding member in the association league, but missed the qualification for the Oberliga Niederrhein introduced the following year. In the period that followed, the TuRU team played in the second-highest division for some time, but never made it to the league and had to cede the supremacy in Düsseldorf to Fortuna, which spent more than a decade in the league.

In indoor handball, the TuRU played no role above the local level before 1983. She never made it into the finals of the Lower Rhine Championship until 1967 (the indoor championship was held between 1946 and 1967 in the form of successive registration tournaments during the field handball winter break. A regular league game for indoor handball only existed in the HV Niederrhein from the 1967/68 season) and was Until 1983 represented at no time in the Oberliga Niederrhein or a higher division.

In 1983 the handball departments of TB 1891 Wülfrath and DJK TB Ratingen , which played together as HSG Wülfrath / Ratingen in the 2nd Bundesliga , left their previous parent clubs and founded HSV Düsseldorf. He immediately joined a syndicate with TuRU Düsseldorf. Under the later national coach Horst Bredemeier , the HSG TuRU Düsseldorf achieved immediate promotion to the handball Bundesliga , where it stayed for six years and achieved some notable successes during this time. In the first five years, the HSG TuRU always ended up in the top half of the table. In 1987 the club reached the DHB Cup final, in 1988 the team was German runner-up and even won the IHF Cup the following year. Just one year later, however, the team was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga, but managed to get promoted again directly and took eighth place in the northern season of the Bundesliga, which was divided into two parts as a result of reunification this season.

In 1993 the syndicate was dissolved and from then on HSV Düsseldorf competed alone. From 2000, this formed together with the General Rather Turnverein the HSG ART / HSV Düsseldorf game community , the first team of which, as HSG Düsseldorf, commuted between the first and second Bundesliga. The history of the former TuRU handball department ended in 2012 with the insolvency of HSV Düsseldorf and the joint gaming company during the 2011/12 season. The eligibility to play was transferred to the General Rather Turnverein, which was not affected by the bankruptcy, and which started as ART Düsseldorf in the 3rd division from the 2012/13 season.
