history
TuS Bochum 08 went back to the SuS Bochum 08 association founded in 1908 . This merged in November 1919 with the football department of TV zu Bochum to form TuS 1848 Bochum . In 1924, as part of the clean divorce, the association split up into TuS Bochum 08 and TV 1848 Bochum . Both clubs were forced to merge with Germania Bochum on April 14, 1938 to form VfL Bochum. The club was anchored in the bourgeoisie of the city and was known as the "club of tie wearers ".

In 1911, the SuS Bochum 08 was promoted to the then first-class A-Class Westphalia . On October 8, 1911, the team played the first official football game on the sports field on Castroper Strasse . The opponent was VfB Hamm . Two years later SuS moved to the Ruhr district and immediately became runner-up behind Meidericher SV .

TuS Bochum 08
After the division of TuS in 1848, the 08ers were again third in the 1st district class Ruhr, Group 1 in the 1926/27 season. In the same season, TuS met the proletarian local rival Germania for the first time, who assumed the local leadership role in the following years took over. The 08 series descended from the first class in 1928 under dramatic circumstances. The relegation games for relegation against Erler SV 08 each ended 1: 1 and the playoff game also ended with 2: 2 after extra time . The decision in favor of the Erler was only made in the second deciding game that Erle won 1-0.
In 1930 the rise was successful. As the bottom of the table in the 1930/31 season, only the increase in the Ruhr District League prevented immediate relegation. Two years later the qualification for the newly created Gauliga Westfalen was missed. In 1935 they were promoted to the Gauliga, where the team finished seventh in the 1935/36 season . The low point of the season was the 0:10 defeat at FC Schalke 04 . A year later , the 08ers were relegated from bottom of the table. Both games against Schalke were lost 9-0, and there was a 10-2 defeat at newly promoted Borussia Dortmund .
