history
Beginnings of the association (1911–1926)
The origins of football in Milspe originated from the Hertha 07 football club , which began playing football in Milspe and Homberge in the spring of 1907. Football developed in friendly games against clubs from Schwelm , Wuppertal , Gevelsberg and the surrounding area. In 1911 the desire arose to join the West German Game Association and bring about a merger of all clubs. In 1911 the club was founded by merging the clubs FC Hertha 07 and Preußen Milspe to form the Milspe sports club . The founding meeting took place on May 24, 1911 in Haus Hedtmann. Heinrich Behrenberg became the first president.
Due to the First World War , games could not take place for a long time because numerous players were drafted into the Wehrmacht and because the previously used field on Schulstrasse was converted to farmland under the pressure of the time. As a temporary makeshift, a pasture area was leased at Wuppermannshof. The Haus Rahlenbecke tavern served as a changing room. In 1920 the first self-built sports field was built on the Büttenberg . It was inaugurated on September 19, 1920 with a game between TuS Milspe and Union Haspe .
At the beginning of 1922 the association received statutes . In 1923 the newly introduced lawn sport game handball also found interest among the Milspern and a handball department was founded. The spatial situation on the Büttenberg sports field became, despite another square built there by the city, increasingly narrow, especially since several clubs had to share the spaces, so that the desire for their own, more centrally located sports facility arose.
Inauguration of Bremenplatz (1927–1932)
On April 24, 1927, a contract for the use of the sports ground, today's Bremenplatz, was signed with Caspar Kartenberg and construction began. The Hesterberg & Sons company acted as guarantor for the loan taken out by the association. After the available funds had been used up, further work was initially suspended. The ongoing economic crisis and other circumstances were the cause for the dissolution of the handball department. The inauguration of Bremenplatz took place on April 21, 1929. On that day the first game took place on Bremenplatz. The sports club Milspe lost the opening game against the then multiple South Westphalia champion Hagen 72 with 0: 1. In April 1932 the 1st team played against Fortuna Düsseldorf and also rose to the top division of the time, the South Westphalia district league.
Gymnastics and Sports Club Milspe (1933–1951)
With the merger of the Milspe sports club and the Rahlenbeck gymnastics club in the Heringhaus pub on November 2, 1933, the club was renamed the Milspe gymnastics and sports club . The activities of the association were very limited by the Second World War . During this time, more than 50 club members died in the war. After the war, the club became champions of the Hagen group and then Ennepe-Ruhr-Lenne champions with a 1-0 win against Union Haspe in front of 5000 spectators on September 22, 1946. Promotion games followed, in which the team prevailed and finally became the South Westphalia champions.
With that she had achieved membership in the then first-class Landesliga Westfalen . They played against well-known clubs like VfL Bochum , Westfalia Herne and FC Schalke 04 . The highlight of the 1946/47 season was the championship game against FC Schalke 04. The game took place on March 23, 1947 in front of 12,000 spectators at Bremenplatz and ended 2-2. On December 1, 1948, the TuS Milspe was registered as a registered association .
After the founding of the Oberliga West , TuS Milspe played in the second-class regional league from then on. In order to consolidate the performance level of the footballers, Elfried Leveringhaus from Sprockhövel was also hired a professional coach for the first time. On August 21, 1948, the then German soccer champions 1. FC Nuremberg were invited to Ennepetal for a test match. In front of 10,000 spectators, the Franks prevailed 2: 4. For the test match, 1. FC Nürnberg received 15 wagons of coal and, in addition, a waffle iron and a training suit for each player . After the end of the 1948/49 season , the club members decided against the contract player statute for financial reasons .
Renaming to TuS Ennepetal (1952–1973)
Shortly after the 50th anniversary with a gala evening in Haus Ennepetal, TuS Milspe was renamed in 1952 and has been under the name TuS Ennepetal from that point on until today. After a few years in the district league, the first team had to relegate to the 1st district class. This happened in the 1958/59 season.
Construction of the Bremen Stadium began in March 1969. The first game on the new sports facility took place on May 3, 1969. The game between TuS Ennepetal and TSG Sprockhövel ended 1: 3. The official inauguration of the Bremen Stadium took place as part of a European Festival on April 29, 1970. The Bremen Stadium has a capacity of 2,200 seats, 4,000 standing places and a further 1,800 standing places in the adjacent area. The total construction costs, including parking spaces and green spaces, amounted to DM 1.3 million.
International A-junior soccer tournament on Whitsun (1974-2000)
In 1974, the international junior soccer tournament was held for the first time on Whitsun . The first participants were Vasas Budapest , TSC Eintracht Dortmund , VfB Neukölln , Werder Bremen , VC Vilvoorde, SG Wattenscheid 09 , Eintracht Gelsenkirchen , FC Den Haag and TuS Ennepetal.
In 1990 TuS Ennepetal was awarded the City of Ennepetal's Peace Prize for its work. In 1996, the broadcast of the final of the Whitsun tournament on German sports television (DSF) ensured another premiere at the Ennepetal tournament. For the first time in Germany, a youth tournament was reported nationwide.
At the 1998 annual general meeting, Michael Peiniger and Frank Oberdorf were elected 1st and 2nd chairman and initiated a change at TuS Ennepetal. The main board found that the “TuS 2000” concept had completely failed.
Rise of the club (2001-2011)
In 2002 and 2003, the TuS had drawn up ten guidelines for football in Ennepetal, which were followed from that point on. After the relegation of the first team to the district league A in the 2003/04 season, the direct return to the district league in the 2004/05 season. Other important steps were the inauguration of the club's own club house at the Bremen Stadium on January 23, 2005 and the definition of ambitious goals as part of the "Project 2011" up to the 100th anniversary of the club in 2011.
In 2006 and 2007 extensive renovation and conversion work was carried out in the Bremen Stadium. This included completely relocating the standing steps and paved surfaces, connecting the stadium forecourt with the main stand, renewing the fence system and building a modern media tower with a kiosk and sound system. In 2007, with the championship of the 1st team in the district league, promotion to the state league took place. The U23 (2nd team) of TuS Ennepetal also managed to jump from the district league B to the district league A. A girls' soccer team was also registered for the game for the first time this year. In the 2007/2008 season the TuS exceeded the number of members of 600 for the first time and was able to report a women's team to play.
There was also a lot of work going on around the club. On October 26, 2007 the inauguration of a soccer field above the TuS clubhouse took place. In March 2008 the revision / renewal of the floodlight system and in June 2008 the renewal of the bench seats. Seats were installed in the middle area of the main and opposite stands. The 2008/09 season was particularly successful. With the unbeaten championship of the 1st team in the regional league, promotion to the Westphalia league took place . A year later, the U23 also rose to the district league.
TuS Ennepetal celebrated its 100th birthday on May 24, 2011 with a birthday party in the Bremen Stadium. This was celebrated with a family party, live music and anniversary fireworks. An official anniversary celebration took place on May 28, 2011 in Haus Ennepetal. In the anniversary year, the 1st team plays in the Westphalia League. With 706 members (as of May 15, 2011), the association is one of the largest in the district.
