The TuS Grevenbroich (officially: gymnastics and sports club Grevenbroich 1911 eV ) is a sports club from Grevenbroich in Rhein-Kreis Neuss . The first soccer team played in the highest amateur league in the Lower Rhine region for 17 years. The home venue is the castle stadium .
history
The club was founded on April 10, 1911 as FC Grevenbroich as a pure football club. Six years later the club name was changed to Viktoria Grevenbroich , which was reversed after the end of the First World War in November 1918. In 1924, FC merged with the Grevenbroich swimming club , which had been founded three years earlier, to form VfL Grevenbroich . In 1935, FC Grevenbroich merged with FC Orken Grevenbroich for an undisclosed period . In 1945 VfL merged with the Grevenbroich gymnastics club to form TuS Grevenbroich . Two years later the gymnastics club split off again.
Soccer
In terms of sport, the Grevenbroich footballers were only of regional importance until the end of the Second World War . In 1926, he was promoted to the second highest division. After the end of the war, the team entered the district class and reached the semi-finals of the British Zone Championship on the Lower Rhine in 1946 . In 1953 she made it to the state league , the highest amateur league at the time on the Lower Rhine. TuS had won the playoff for the championship in neutral Krefeld against Union Rheydt 1-0 after extra time. As the knocked-down bottom of the table, Grevenbroich had to relegate immediately. Curiously, TuS was able to achieve both of its victories of the season away from home. In 1957 it was promoted again to the state league, which was only the second highest amateur league after the introduction of the Lower Rhine Association the year before.
In 1959 it went back down to the district class. After another detour from 1965 to 1967, the Grevenbroichers could only establish themselves in the state league from 1968. In 1970 the team was runner-up behind SV Neukirchen , before TuS even made it into the Niederrhein Association two years later. The Grevenbroicher could hold in the highest amateur league for two years before the team had to relegate back to the state league in 1975 . After the direct resurgence in 1978, the qualification for the newly created Oberliga Nordrhein was missed. Apart from fifth place in the 1979/80 season, TuS played from now on in the association league against relegation, which in 1983 could no longer be avoided.
Five years later it even went back to the district league, before TuS returned to the state league in 1990 and even to the association league in 1992. After two years in Oberhaus in the Lower Rhine region, it went back to the state league, where the Grevenbroich team initially fought against relegation and in 2001 became runner-up behind VfB Homberg . Three years later, the team made it again to promotion to the Association League, which was held until 2006. In 2013 the Grevenbroich relegated to the district league and in 2019 to the district league A.
