On May 2, 1984, the table tennis division of PSV was re-established as an independent club under the name Borussia Düsseldorf, because it was hoped that this would have tax advantages.

Its rise to become the most successful table tennis club in Germany began in 1969, with the first Bundesliga title.

Borussia was the first German table tennis club to have a manager and a coach.

To promote youth work, the club organized the first Children's Olympics in 1988, which is still held regularly today – now as the “Kids Open”.
