Oldest football clubs
Dresden English Football Club was founded on 18 March 1874 and was the first association football club in Germany, and likely the first outside Great Britain. In 1874, over 70 members participated, primarily Englishmen working in Dresden, watched by hundreds of spectators. Another German club, 1860 Munich did not play football until 1899, although it has its origins in a gymnastics and fitness club formed in 1848 and reestablished in the year indicated by its name.
TSG Bergedorf 1860
TSG Bergedorf is a German association football club from the borough of Bergedorf in the city of Hamburg. The origins of the club are in the formation of the gymnastics club "Bergerdorfer Mannerturnverein" in 1860. In the 1880s two other clubs emerged from this parent association; "Bergedorfer Turnerschaft 1880" and "Allgemeiner Turnerverein Bergedorf von 1885".
