The gymnastics and sports association Gaarden from 1875 , in short: TuS 1875 Gaarden , is a sports club from the Gaarden-Ost district of Kiel . The club was created on April 19, 1972 through a merger of TSV Gaarden with FSV Borussia Gaarden and has around 1,700 members.

FSV Borussia Gaarden

The predecessor club Borussia Gaarden was founded on June 2, 1903 as FC Borussia 03 Gaarden and renamed FV Borussia 03 Gaarden on April 10, 1920 . In the association's coat of arms, however, it was called Kiel-Gaarden , which for a long time led to changing names in the press and later statistical works; in fact, “Borussia Gaarden” and “Borussia Kiel” were the same club in the incorporated Kiel district.

Either way, Borussia was one of the top teams in Schleswig-Holstein from the 1920s and played in the highest possible league. When a nationwide Schleswig-Holstein league was founded for the first time in 1921, Borussia's footballers were among them. As runner-up in the Schleswig-Holstein Oberliga, the footballers qualified for the final round of the North German championship in 1930, but lost 4-2 to Altona 93 in the first round . A year later came again in the 1st round at Bremer SV with a 0: 1 after extra time, as well as then in 1932 and 1933 in the group games introduced as the first round. After all, Borussia left two competitors behind them in 1933, Viktoria Wilhelmsburg and SV Hamburg Police .

Borussia played in the newly created Gauliga Nordmark between 1933 and 1935 . After two years, the club was relegated again, but not without defeating the big local rivals KSV Holstein 1934/35 at the Werftpark sports ground 3-2. In the following period, the club won the district championship twice, but missed promotion to the Gauliga in the playoffs and had to give way to FC St. Pauli in 1936 and the SV Hamburg police in 1937. After a change in the league system, participation in the top division was again possible. Borussia played in the newly created Gauliga Schleswig-Holstein from 1942/43 until their suspension in 1945 . In the last year of the war, however, the Gauliga was suspended after two games. In a local Kiel round, Borussia was in second place behind Holstein after ten games before the game was also stopped here.

After the war, Borussia merged with the clubs Kampfsport Gaarden and FT Eiche , which were banned in 1933, to form the Freie Sportvereinigung Gaarden , which in 1947 took up Borussia again in its name. From 1949 to 1958, the team was third-rate and played for many years in the Schleswig-Holstein 2nd amateur league, the District League East. But it wasn't until the mid-1960s that the team returned to the national stage and played in the third-class amateur league Schleswig-Holstein. But both 1964/65 and 1966/67 the immediate relegation took place. When the merger with TSV took place in 1972, Borussia was in the fourth class association league.

The handball department , which was taken over by the Gaardener Ballspielverein from 1933 , also won the Schleswig-Holstein championship title in 1935. With the subsequent promotion to the Gauliga, Borussia was able to position itself in third place in the table, ahead of THW Kiel .

TSV Gaarden

Merger partner TSV Gaarden was founded on September 11, 1875 as the Gaarden Men's Gymnastics Association 1875 . In 1910 this merged with the Ellerbeker MTV 1891 to form the Gaarden-Ellerbeker Turnerschaft 1875 , which in turn merged with the Gaardener TV 1885 in August 1920 . Because of the negative attitude of TV 1885 towards football, the FC Borussia described above was created in 1903. The merger association established in 1920 operated as the Gaarden gymnastics and sports association . In the course of the clean divorce between gymnasts and footballers, the Gaarden Ballspielverein was established in 1923 . This played from 1924 together with local rivals Borussia in the Schleswig-Holstein district league, the highest possible division. However, in 1929 they were not among the members of the new Oberliga and in 1933 they did not make the leap into the Gauliga. That year the BV returned to the gymnastics and sports association. From 1940 the club operated as TSG Gaarden . Under this name, the team belonged from 1943 to the Gauliga Schleswig-Holstein, which was created due to the war. Despite two defeats against local rivals Borussia, TSG ended up one point and place ahead of Borussia in seventh place.

After the Second World War, TSV, like Borussia, belonged to the third-class Schleswig-Holstein 2nd amateur league, the District League East, from which the team, however, repeatedly relegated.

TuS 1875 Gaarden

After the merger that took place in 1972, the gymnastics and sports association stood for one season in the highest Schleswig-Holstein division and was third class, but was immediately relegated and was passed through to the sixth class district class until 1976. In the 2013/14 season, the men's team was withdrawn from active gaming operations and rebuilt for the 2014/15 season.

Stadion

Since 1933, the TuS and TSG Gaarden have played in the building battle track, which in 2001 had space for 5,000 spectators.
