SC Berlin-Grünau

SC Berlin-Grünau is a sports club based in Berlin, Germany, with its seat at the Berlin-Grünau regatta course, which also serves as the federal performance base for canoeing and rowing. The club offers canoeing and rowing as well as health sport. It was formed on 27 October 1969 out of TSC Berlin and took over that club's water sports sections of rowing, sailing and canoeing. TSC Berlin had been founded in 1963 and its water sports athletes belonged to the East German elite, winning several national titles, a record the new club continued. In 1980 it moved into a newly built boathouse at Regattastraße 279, then the most modern in East Germany, and the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul were its most successful Games, with ten Olympic champions. After the political change in East Germany the club re-founded itself on 23 May 1990 as SC Berlin-Grünau e. V., opening to children's and leisure sport and starting a health sport section. Its sailing section left to form the Yachtclub Berlin-Grünau in 1997, and a dragon boat section, the Shenzou Dragons, was created on 5 March 2004.
