Tuspo Fürth (officially: Turn- und Sportverein Fürth eV ) was a sports club from Fürth . The first football team became German champions of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association (ATSB) under the name TSV Fürth in 1920 .

history

The club was founded on December 12, 1895 as a workers gymnastics club in Fürth . In 1908 the gymnastics club Jahn Fürth joined before the merger with the Kraftsportclub Fürth and the soccer clubs FC Merkur Fürth and FC Pfeil Fürth to form TSV Fürth followed four years later .

The footballers became Bavarian champions in 1920 and reached the final of the German workers' championship after a 7: 3 victory over the Free Turnerschaft Bornheim and a 9: 0 over TK Untertürkheim . The Fürth team won the semifinals 3-2 at Dresdner SV 10 and met TuS Süd Forst in the final . In front of 5,000 spectators in Leipzig , TSV took the lead 3-0 after a goalless first half and had to accept two goals from Forster. No more goals were scored and TSV Fürth became the ATSB's first German soccer champion. It should remain the only participation of the Fürth in the ATSB championships. After winning the championship, seven players in the championship team switched to SpVgg Fürth , probably because there was no money to be made at TSV.

After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, TSV Fürth, like all workers' sports clubs, was banned. In 1948 it was re-established as Tuspo Fürth , which developed into a popular sports club. The footballers were only active at the local level and produced Julia Simic, who would later become a Bundesliga player. The women's table tennis team played in the 2nd Bundesliga South in the 1994/95 season. On July 1, 2003, the financially troubled club merged with SpVgg Greuther Fürth .
