Tournament

Bielefeld

With eight eager tennis players, Dr. Emil Broelemann founded the tennis tournament club on April 14, 1905, which was the first in Bielefeld to pay homage to Tennis sport in club operations.

They played on the private courts of the owner of the Löllmann garden restaurant and found a grateful audience and many later interested parties among the visitors to the coffee garden. The tennis tournament club remained with Löllmann until 1908.

In 1908, the city of Bielefeld provided the Tennis Tournament Club with four courts on Weidenstraße.
Meanwhile, the number of members had grown to around 150 and the youth class in particular represented Bielefeld's colors excellently and won many valuable prizes.

In 1927, the city had to give notice to the Tennis Tournament Club of the site on Weidenstraße. For this purpose, she built courts at Bollbrinker that were left to the tennis tournament club.

The Tennis Tournament Club found an umbrella organization in the Bielefeld Sports Club that would make it possible to achieve this goal. In 1927 and 1928, with the help of the Bielefeld Sports Club and the city, the new tennis facility was built on Voltmannstraße, which was then called Gellernshagener Chaussee. The wonderful new course with its own clubhouse initially had six courts.
