History

---

Founding to World War II

One of the oldest sports organizations in Germany, it traces its earliest origins to the athletics club Bochumer TV formed in 1848. However, the honour of being Bochum's first football club goes to the predecessor side Fußballklub 06, later known as SV Germania 06 Bochum. Another ancestor – SuS Bochum – was formed in 1908, fielded its first football team in 1911, and after a merger with another local side in 1919, took on the name TuS Bochum 1848.
