TuS Erndtebrück

TuS Erndtebrück is a German association football club from the town of Erndtebrück, Siegen-Wittgenstein. The club was established in 1895 as the gymnastics club ''Turnverein Erndtebrück''. Today, ''TuS'' has a dozen other sports departments in addition to its football side.

History

''TuS'' was originally established with departments for gymnastics and athletics and grew in 1897 to include a newly formed marching band. After merging with ''VfB Erndtebrück'' in 1921, the club was renamed ''Turn- und Sportverein Erndtebrück'' and formed a football department at that time. In 1953, swimming and winter sports departments were formed, with the skiers becoming quite successful. Other sports were added over the years, including bowling (1963), martial arts (1988), Taekwondo (1992), and jiu-jitsu (2003).

The footballers first came to note with their promotion to the Verbandsliga Westfalen (VI) in 2000. They narrowly missed advancing to the Landesliga when they lost a playoff match to ''SV Hohenlimburg'' in a shootout. They finished third in 2007–08 and as runners-up behind ''SpVgg Erkenschwick'' in 2009–10 before finally capturing the league title in 2011 to advance to the NRW-Liga (V). That same season, the second team side captured the Bezirksliga title to advance to Landesliga play, and beat Sportfreunde Siegen to win the Kreispokal. Since 2012 the club played in the tier five Oberliga Westfalen, where it won a league championship in 2015 and earned promotion to the Regionalliga West for a season before being relegated again.
