The TuS Eintracht Minden (gymnastics and sports club Eintracht Minden) was a sports club in Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia , the nationally made famous by the success of its women's handball team. It is one of the three predecessor clubs of SV 1860 Minden .

history

Immediately after the Second World War , former athletes from MTV 1860 Minden and the Hindenburg Minden military sports club met in June 1945 to go back to sports together. They played fistball and handball again . The original intention was to continue the tradition of MTV and to resume sports operations under the name MTV 1860 Minden . However, this was not possible because of a decree by the British military government.

TuS Eintracht Minde was founded on October 28, 1945. Former handball players of MSV Hindenburg were the first to decide on the later club colors blue / yellow, the former colors of MSV Hindenburg. This also had practical reasons: In the absence of their own jerseys, on November 28, 1945, a complete set of jerseys from MSV Hindenburg was taken over, in which they played from then on. On May 9, 1946, the handball and athletics departments were founded. Most recently, the association offered the departments handball, athletics , volleyball , table tennis and popular sports .

In November 2016, the members of TuS approved the merger with TV Jahn and MTV 1860 to form SV 1860 Minden , which was entered in the register of associations in January 2017.

The handball players of TuS Eintracht Minden

The sport of handball in Minden was initially dominated by men: MSV Hindenburg Minden, one of the two predecessor clubs of TuS Eintracht, had become German field handball champions in 1936 . In 1953 and 1954 the TuS men took fourth place in the final tournaments for the German indoor handball championship.

For the first time, the Minden handball players attracted nationwide attention when they broke into the phalanx of the two previously dominant western clubs Bayer Leverkusen and SC Greven 09 in 1973 and secured the West German championship. Both clubs had all eleven titles between 1962 and 1972 (Leverkusen alone nine). This was the first time that Eintracht qualified for the finals of the five regional champions for the German championship. The first opponent in the semifinals was now Hamburger TS , which they could initially beat in their own hall with 19:17. The second leg in Hamburg was a clear thing . They moved into the final at 16:11, where 1. FC Nürnberg , who had prevailed against TSV GutsMuths Berlin in the second semi-final , was the opponent. In front of 500 spectators in Rüsselsheim , the final was a very one-sided game. At halftime it was 4: 1, in the end, Eintracht brought the first championship title to Minden with 9: 3. The 1973/74 season was somewhat unusual, because the defending champion was not represented in the final round of the German championship, since the western championship went to Bayer Leverkusen , which promptly won the title.

1974/75 was the same as the year before, but this time with the opposite sign: Defending champion Leverkusen had failed due to TuS Eintracht Minden. The Berlin champions TSV GutsMuths were waiting for Minden in the semi-finals . The first leg ended in Minden at 10:10, and everything spoke for the Berliners. But in the second leg, Eintracht prevailed 8: 6 and moved into the final. This took place in Lüneburg in front of 1,200 spectators in the sold out Nordlandhalle. Opponent was the northern champions SV Rot-Weiß Kiebitzreihe , who had eliminated the southern representative FC Bayern Munich . The North Germans dominated the early stages and were already leading 5: 2 before Minden was able to shorten to 5: 4 half-time. In the second half, then Minden turned the game around and secured the title of German champions for the second time with a score of 12: 8. It was the last time that the five regional champions played the championship, because the Bundestag in Saarbrücken a year earlier had decided to introduce the two-track Bundesliga for the 1975/76 season. And there Minden took second place behind Leverkusen and was qualified for the cross comparisons with the South representatives. The final was then Eintracht Minden against Bayer Leverkusen . At 12:10, Eintracht won their third championship title, which they followed a year later with their first success in the DHB Cup (10: 8 against TSV Rot-Weiß Auerbach ).

The 1977/78 season was the most successful season in the club's history. First they secured second place behind Leverkusen in the Bundesliga season north, then they eliminated TSV GutsMuths Berlin in the semifinals with 17:13 and 15:13, and finally they wrestled in the final in the Hellweg sports hall, which was sold out with 1,400 spectators Unna down the old rival Bayer Leverkusen at 17:15. The goal scorers for Minden: Sigrid Bierbaum (13/5), Veronika Maaß (2), Rita Rose and Margita Hagemann. Last but not least, they secured the German club cup and thus the "double" with a 27:10 against TuS Metzingen . This title, won on June 18, 1978, was to be the last in the club's history.

In 1979 Eintracht Minden reached the DM final again. The opponent was once more Bayer Leverkusen . 1,500 spectators in Unna see an even game in the first half with a 7: 7 half-time result. After the break, Bayer pulled away. About 9: 9, 12: 9, and 13:10 everything seemed clear at 14:11 shortly before the end of the game. But Minden equalized - also thanks to two converted seven meters - again at 14:14, before Maria Hynek scored the goal in the very last second for Bayer Leverkusen to win 15:14. This game was also a duel between two goal scorers: Sigrid Berndt scored nine goals for Leverkusen, while Mindens Sigrid Bierbaum scored no less than 13 goals.

For the time being, this was the last major appearance on a national level. From 1981 to 1983 they played for two years in the then second-class Regionallig-Nord and - after a two-year interlude in the 1st Bundesliga - from 1985 to 1988 in the newly created 2nd Bundesliga-Nord . After returning to the 1st Bundesliga in 1988, they belonged to it for 15 years, but were also lucky enough to benefit from the withdrawal of other clubs ( VfL Neckargartach in 1991 and TuS Walle Bremen in 1998 ) and - although relegated - to keep the class .

In 1999 Minden's handball players caused another sensation when they qualified for the Final Four Cup in Riesa as SG Minden / Minderheide (founded four years earlier as a syndicate between Eintracht and TuS Minderheide) and eliminated FHC Frankfurt / Oder in the semifinals . In the final on June 5, 1999, the third cup victory almost succeeded, but the highly-favored TV Lützellinden was able to assert itself just under 30:29 after the 23:23 tie at the end of regular time in overtime.

After relegation from the 1st Bundesliga in 2002/03, the "bad economic situation of the entire region" (according to the chairman of the club Steffen Kampeter ) led to the withdrawal from professional handball. And: "Since we are assuming that a permanent additional income of 100,000 euros per year is necessary for the long-term maintenance of gaming operations with resurgence, a one-off loan would not have helped." Among the most prominent "victims" of the withdrawal were the goalscorer Tatjana Klimankova (195 goals / third place in the Bundesliga scorers list) and the German handball player of the year 2002, Anika Ziercke . Since the attempt to set up a strong regional league team failed, the downgrading to the regional league could no longer be prevented. Since the 2008/09 season, the former semi-finalist in the European Champions Cup started in the 1st district league Minden-Lübbecke before handball games were completely stopped for the 2010/2011 season.
