The Turn- und Sportverein 1888 Nürnberg eV , TuSpo Nürnberg for short , is a sports club from Nuremberg with around 1,750 members in the departments of fistball , football , handball , tennis , gymnastics and gymnastics , volleyball , winter sports , KiSS ( children's sports school ), asphalt curling.

history

The club was created in 1946 through the merger of two clubs from the bourgeois gymnastics movement and workers' sports. On the one hand, the middle-class gymnastics community in Nuremberg , whose predecessor was the Maxstadt gymnastics club , joined the new club in 1888 . On the other hand, the members of the Nuremberg Free Gymnastics Association, founded in 1911, joined. The Free Gymnastics Association was created from the merger of the Nuremberg Workers 'Gymnastics Association, founded in 1893, with other clubs belonging to the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association.

Handball

The most famous division of the Tuspo were the handball players with their men's team, which played in the handball Bundesliga for three years and in the 2nd handball Bundesliga south for six years . In 1973 these rose to the top division. In 1976 Arno Hamburger became the club's chairman. His aim was to "establish a second attractive sport in Nuremberg" alongside soccer at 1. FC Nürnberg .

A flight of highs followed under Hamburger. The basis was good youth work - the A-youth had become German champion in 1976 - and Hamburg's financial commitment. In 1977 the Tuspo was second class for the first time when the leap into the Regionalliga Süd succeeded. In 1981 he even made it to the Bundesliga for the first time. At the end of the 1981/82 season, the newcomer only missed relegation by one point. In the following season in the 2nd handball Bundesliga , TuSpo finally prevailed against TuS Griesheim because of the better goal difference and managed to get promoted again immediately. But the excellence was again a brief pleasure. The 1983/84 season saw not only the relegation of 1. FC Nürnberg as bottom of the table in the Bundesliga , but also the renewed relegation of the TuSpo handball players in handball. After two top positions, TuSpo Nürnberg achieved their third promotion to the first division in the third second division year. But even the 1987/88 season failed to establish itself in the Bundesliga. The third immediate relegation from the Bundesliga was followed two years later for financial reasons by withdrawing from the 2nd Bundesliga, although the season had ended in sixth place in the table.

In the 2016/17 season, the handball men reached 3rd place in the district league and once again rose to the district league.

Soccer

In the 2019/20 season, the football department comprises four men's teams (1st and 2nd teams, old league and old town football ) as well as 11 youth teams from BG Jugend.
