ASC gemeinsam. In Bewegung!
Anyone entering the Clubhaus of ASC Göttingen von 1846 e.V. quickly recognizes the positive symbiosis of tradition and perspective. The ASC 46 logo, which has served as the club’s calling card since the last major merger in 1980, hangs next to the “Alte Fahne der Turngemeinde Göttingen” from 1849. At that time, the Turngemeinde Göttingen and the SSC Göttingen came together to form a large club. Today, with more than 11,750 members, ASC 46 is one of the largest clubs in Germany and is prepared for the future in terms of the variety and quality of its activities.
Sport and exercise stay at the heart of the wide range of activities on offer, which are designed to appeal to any age groups and any social classes, from toddlers to senior citizens. In the Clubhaus in Danziger Straße, which was completed in 1989, it is easy to recognize the club’s cross-generational, broad sports orientation. Education and care are lived, because in addition to our children from our day-care center, senior citizens find the social contact that makes old age worth living in chair gymnastics, health sports and board games. During one year of voluntary services, young people are led to be active in sport and are formed as trainers or club managers.
