The Münster gymnastics community from 1862 , or TG Münster for short , is the oldest sports club in Münster . In the 1970s the club was the gymnastics club with the largest number of members in the German Gymnastics Federation . The gymnastics community is currently one of the largest sports clubs in the city of Münster and a multi-discipline club with almost 2500 members and 30 sports, which are divided into 17 divisions. From 2003 to 2009, the gymnastics community in Münster was the sponsoring association of the state performance base for trampoline gymnastics and, since 2006, the NRW talent project in the same sport.

history

The club was founded on July 29, 1862 in a constituent meeting as "Turnverein zu Münster" (later Turnverein Münster from 1862 ). Justizrat J. Fr. Leesemann was elected chairman and speaker of the gymnastics council. The German gymnastics movement spread strongly after the gymnastics and youth festival in Coburg. The Turnverein Münster was one of over 1,000 gymnastics clubs that were founded in Germany between 1860 and 1862.

In November 1862, gymnastics teacher Haupt from Bielefeld became the first club gymnastics teacher . In February 1864 the club joined the Gymnastics Association of Rhineland-Westphalia and became a member of the German Gymnastics Association . On July 10, 1865, the city of Münster gave the club the premises on Breul, which was to remain the seat of the gymnastics community until 2003. The club gym, which was put into operation on February 8, 1867, was built on the site. The construction costs were underestimated by those responsible, so that the members of the association initially had to do without "a real roof".

On January 18, 1871, ideas to found a gymnast fire brigade resulted in the Münster volunteer fire brigade . In 1875, the club's senior team was founded.

With the beginning of the Franco-German War in 1870/71, the club had to struggle with problems. Alone 21 members were “called to the flags”. After the association had grown to 181 members after three years of existence (July 10, 1965), the number of members decreased to only 96 members by January 1879. The expansion of the bad roof brought the club into financial difficulties; as a result, he resigned from the Gauverband, and thus also from the German Gymnastics Association. The long-time chairman of the judiciary Leesemann died on March 29, 1880. And in February some club members left the gymnastics club to found the “TV Westfalia brother club”.

Gym teacher Becker from Osnabrück was employed. He later became a university gymnastics and fencing teacher. In March 1896, the association had to transfer the property on Breul back to the city. The reason was that the association failed, as agreed, to name successors for the three deceased association representatives who had signed the original contract in 1865. As a result, the club had to rent the site and the sports hall from the city. In January 1897, more members left the association to found TV Jahn Münster.

In the middle of 1901 the “health men” was founded, followed the following year by the founding of the women's department. On 12./13. In October 1912 the association celebrated a big 50th anniversary celebration. The club now had 405 members (289 gymnasts, 41 gymnasts and 75 gymnastics students).

In the 1990s it became more and more disadvantageous that the association was spatially distributed and had no real center. The simple gym with the business premises on Breul could not fulfill this function.

With the construction of a triple gym for the Adolph Kolping Vocational College in Lotharingerstraße in 2003, the TG got a new home. Modern business premises, a meeting room, a small kitchen and a gymnastics room for the TG were housed in the sports hall. To finance the sports hall, however, it was necessary to demolish the sports hall on Breul and use the property for high-quality residential construction.

In connection with the new spatial possibilities and previous sporting successes in the promotion of young talent in the trampoline department, the status of state performance base trampoline gymnastics of the Westphalian Gymnastics Association was awarded in 2004 .

In the course of a comprehensive reform of the statutes, the office of the elected association chairman or president was abolished in 2006. As before, at least two board members have been entered in the register of associations as representatives of the association in accordance with the BGB . The eight-person board of directors also appoints a board spokesman who represents the club externally.

In 2013 the statutes of 2006 were revised again and the office of the association chairman was reintroduced.
