100 years of tennis history: Hohen Neuendorf is celebrating its anniversary!

Next year, the celebrations at the Blau-Weiß Hohen Neuendorf tennis club will be dedicated to the 100th anniversary. Preparations are already in full swing, as a lot has happened since it was founded in Hohen Neuendorf in 1926. The club, which is idyllically located in a nature reserve near the northern Berlin city limits, uses this opportunity to look back on an eventful history and at the same time take a look into the future. Mayor Steffen Apelt had the honor of receiving an updated and newly published chronicle of the association. The chronicle written by Elke Ahrens is not only intended to delight old members, but also to introduce new guests and interested parties to the club, says Marko Vogler, chairman of the board <[a href="https://hohen-neuendorf.de/de/stadt-leben/aktuelles/100-jahre-tennisgeschichte">Hohen Neuendorf.

If you look at the beginnings of tennis in Germany, you can see that it began around 1880 and that the German Tennis Federation (DTB) has played a crucial role in its development since 1902. The first tennis clubs were founded in Bad Homburg and Baden-Baden, and the “International German Championships” were founded in Hamburg in 1892. The history of tennis in Germany is just as rich as that of the club in Hohen Neuendorf, which with its four clay courts and a modern clubhouse has been a fixture in the region for decades<[a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Tennisgeschichte">Wikipedia.
