history
The small town of Hermannsburg in the Lüneburg Heath had around 2,000 inhabitants in 1904. The desire to spend their free time together led to the idea of founding a sports club . After some preliminary discussions, the establishment was completed on June 2, 1904 in the Hotel Bellevue, today's Hotel Heidehof . In the first few decades, the sporting activity took place under the name of the Hermannsburg men's gymnastics club and was initially limited to gymnastics and athletics . A football department was only founded after twenty years, and a further ten years later, in 1934, a handball department as well. In 1945 the association was renamed TuS Hermannsburg.
With table tennis, another sport was added to the club's program in 1946. Between 1947 and 1953, the football field at the Waldbad was built. At the same time, a swimming pool was built between 1949 and 1951 . Further departments expanded the sporting offer. The sports facilities were expanded in 1977 with the installation of floodlights on the soccer field and from 1982 to 1983 with the construction of a tennis home . In 2002 a beach volleyball facility was built .
