Niendorfer TSV

The Niendorfer TSV is a sports club with a long tradition, originating from an educational association with the sub-departments of games, hiking and sports. From the educational association, the youth league was founded on July 13, 1919, and the gymnastics teacher Carl Ohl became its first chairman. Shortly afterwards, the club received its current name. As early as 1922, almost every 10th Niendorfer was a member of the club, which then had 244 members.

In 1933, the club chairman became the club leader. Military sports were introduced; votes were replaced by dictation, National Socialism had made its way in. For many years, the Niendorfer Turn- und Sportverein was a pure gymnastics club, not until 1936/37 were a handball and football department created, later fistball and table tennis were added. In 1947, the first club meeting after World War II took place and a foundation festival. The number of members rose to 737. The then fistball department played in the state league, the highest league, in the mid-1950s, both in the men's and women's divisions.

It was not until 1956 that the athletics department was created and new sports followed in quick succession. The Niendorfer TSV developed into a mass sports club. In 1962, the membership exceeded the 1,000 mark. The field handball players of the NTSV played in the 1960s in the I. Division, the highest Hamburg league.

As of December 31, 2021, the club had 7,404 members and was thus one of the four largest in Hamburg. The members can draw from a sports and leisure offer of 45 different activities.
