TuS Makkabi Berlin is a German football club based in Berlin. Established in 1970, the club lays claim to the traditions of predecessor ''Bar-Kochba Berlin''. == History == Created in 1898, predecessor club ''Bar Kochba Berlin'' was one of the largest Jewish organizations in the world by 1930 with over 40,000 members from 24 countries, part of the general Bar Kochba movement intended to promote physical education and Jewish heritage. The club fielded teams in several sports including a football side which competed in the city leagues between 1911 and 1929. In 1924, Lilli Henoch, the world record holder in the discus, shot put, and 4 × 100 meters relay events, trained the women's section in the club. In 1929 ''Bar Kochba'' merged with ''Hakoah Berlin'' to form the sports club ''Bar Kochba-Hakoah''. The ''Hakoah'' side had enjoyed increasing success, capturing three consecutive lower division championships between 1925 and 1927. They were promoted each time until, by 1928, they were playing first tier football. The newly combined side continued to compete as ''Hakoah'' after 1929. The rise to power of the Nazis in the early 1930s led to discrimination against Jews and by 1933 Jewish teams were excluded from general competition and limited to play in separate leagues or tournaments. In 1938 Jewish teams were banned outright as discrimination turned to persecution. In the aftermath of World War II Jewish sports and cultural associations eventually re-emerged in Germany. On 26 November 1970 ''TuS Makkabi Berlin'' was formed out of the merger of ''Bar-Kochba Berlin'' (gynmastics and athletics), ''Hakoah Berlin'' (football, re-established 1945) and ''Makkabi Berlin'' (boxing). The football side of the club played in third and fourth tier competition in the 1970s and 1980s before leaving to join FV Wannsee in 1987. Wannsee also played as a third and fourth division side until collapsing in the mid-90s and slipping first to the Landesliga Berlin-2 (VI) and then to the Bezirksliga Berlin (VII) by the end of the decade. ''Makkabi'' Today the sports club has some 500 members and is one of the largest Maccabi associations in the country. The club strongly promotes dialogue between Jews and non-Jews in a sports context. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TuS Makkabi Berlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
