  • 1989 Chronik Des Tischtennissports Im Rheinland
    40 Jahre TTVR 1949 - 1989 Chronik des Tischtennissports im Rheinland Vorwort 40 Jahre jung ist der TTVR geworden. Daher ist es die Pflicht der Verantwortlichen, eine Chronik zu erstellen. Mit Sicherheit konnten die Damen und Herren, die sich damals am 16. Juli 1949 im Saalbau in Trier dazu entschlossen haben den TTVR zu gründen, nicht wissen, daß sich aus dem einstigen "Ping- Pong-Spiel" ein kaum vergleichbarer dynamischer, faszinierender Sport, das Tischtennis, entwickeln würde, der als Hobby-, Freizeit- und Wettkampfsport allerorts durchgeführt werden kann. In kriminalistischer Kleinstarbeit versuchten die Mitglieder des Chronikausschusses mit Hilfe des Erstlingswerkes von 1960 und dem Zusammenführen von vielen Daten, Fakten und Bildern ein möglichst lückenloses Werk zu erstellen. Ein Verband, der mittlerweile über 500 Vereine mit ca. 25.000 Aktiven betreut, der in vielfältigen Verpflichtungen im Bereich des Leistungs-, Breiten- und Freizeitsports wirkt, sollte schon einen chronologischen Entwicklungsstand nachweisen, der es ermöglicht, Eckdaten nachlesen zu können. Vieles ist schon Sportgeschichte und ehrenvolle Tradition geworden. Allerdings genügt nicht alleine die Tradition. Es sind die mutwilligen, riskanten, manchmal sogar übermütigen Verände- rungen, die wiederum Voraussetzung für zeitgemäße, rasante Entwicklungen sind. Dies findet nicht immer jedermanns Beifall, aber es sichert unserer Sportart Jugend und Zukunft. Bei allen Sportkameraden, die an dieser Chronik mitgearbeitet haben, möchte ich mich recht herzlich bedanken. Heinz-Alfred Fuchs, Präsident des Tischtennis-Verbandes Rheinland Die Geschichte des Tischtennissportes Tischtennis ist heute eine populäre und weit verbreitete Sportart in der ganzen Welt, im Breiten- und Leistungssport und auch als Freizeitbetätigung. Der Erfolg des Spieles liegt unter anderem in der Tatsache begründet, daß es keinerlei großer Voraussetzungen bedarf und daß es fast überall ausgeübt werden kann, sei es in Keller, Garage, Schwimmbad, auf dem Schulhof oder natürlich in den Sporthallen.
