TuS Köln rrh. is a multi-sports club from the Höhenberg district of Cologne. The club was founded in 1874 and offers football, track and field, swimming, tennis, gymnastics, karate, rugby, and volleyball. While the club's sports sections are mostly committed to amateur sports the club is best known for its former women's football department. TuS had taken over the women's team from the record champion SSG Bergisch Gladbach in 1996, but the team left the club in 2008 to join Bayer Leverkusen.
Football
The men's team currently plays in the Kreisliga D Köln which is the lowest division in Middle Rhine region.[1] The women's squad played mostly second tier football with a few seasons in the third tier in between. Since the team left the club in 2008 TuS has tried to establish a new women's football division of their own, but as yet to no avail.
Seasons
TuS Köln rrh. had already had a women's team for several years when the women's football department of SSG Bergisch Gladbach joined the club in July 1996. The former team of Bergisch Gladbach had played in the Regionalliga where they continued to play at TuS. In 1999 the team was relegated to the Verbandsliga but managed promotion back to the Regionalliga immediately. Afterwards the club stayed for several seasons in the Regionalliga. When TuS qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga at its inception in 2004 the club was not able to meet the organizational requirements of a promotion. TuS qualified again in the following season and this time took advantage of their right for promotion. The team achieved mid-table results in the following three, but left the club at the end of June 2008, expecting better general conditions for promotion to the Bundesliga at Bayer Leverkusen.[2]
