Rüsselsheimer Ruder-Klub 08

Originally a rowing club, the main sport has been hockey since the late 1960s.

A number of notable events occurred in 1925: the club house was built, women's rowing commences, and members start playing hockey during the winter months.

This was followed by a period where club rowers would often win the German rowing championships; to date 28 national titles have been won.

[1] The next notable year was 1952: the American forces released the club's boat house, and the city built two hockey fields that gave this sport a boost.

In 1968, the club's men's team won the national hockey championship.
