Turn- und Sportverein Bochum 1908 was a German association football club from the city of Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia.
History
The club was established in 1908 as Spiel und Sport 08 Bochum.[1] The first football match at the Castroper Straße (Ruhrstadion) was played by Spiel und Sport on 8 October 1911. On 1 April 1919 the club merged with Turnverein zu Bochum 1848 to form the TuS Bochum 1848. On 1 February 1924 the two clubs from the earlier merger split into the Bochumer Turnverein 1848 (gymnastics department) and Turn- und Sportverein Bochum 1908 (football, track and field, handball, hockey and tennis departments).[2]
German football was reorganized in 1933 under the Third Reich into 16 top-flight divisions and after a divisional title in the Bezirksliga Westfalen (II) followed by a successful promotion playoff, TuS became part of the Gauliga Westfalen (I). The club played just two seasons there and finished their 1936–37 campaign in the relegation zone.[3]
TuS was forced under the Nazi regime into a merger for political reasons with other local clubs. On 14 April 1938, TuS, Germania Bochum, and Turnverein Bochum were formed into current-day side VfL Bochum.
The newly combined club continued to compete in the top flight as part of the Gauliga Westfalen in the place of Germania Bochum.
