The Worms rowing club "Blau-Weiß" from 1883 is a sports club from the city of Worms in Rhineland-Palatinate . He is a member of the German Rowing Association and the Rowing Association of Rheinhessen .

history

The club was founded on March 8, 1947 as the “Blau-Weiß” rowing club in Worms and merged with the rowing society of Worms 1883 on May 12, 2006, and has had its current name ever since. Originally, the new club from 1947 was a re-establishment of members of the two older Worms clubs (rowing society from 1883 and rowing club from 1911).

The starting point for today's location was 1947, when the Ruderclub Worms e. V. (RCW) took over the legal succession of the two Worms rowing clubs, which were banned after the end of the war, and moved into his boathouse on the Worms Rhine promenade. In the mid-1950s, RG Worms was reactivated in 1883 and a legal dispute over the site and boathouse, which was ultimately dismantled by the rowing company and rebuilt on the Hessian side of the Rhine. From then on there were two rowing clubs in Worms. In 2006 both clubs merged to join forces in a sporting way. The Worms rowing club "Blau-Weiß" was founded in 1883 as the only remaining club in Worms. According to its own information, it currently has around 425 members, making it one of the largest rowing clubs in Rhineland-Palatinate.
