MSV Neuruppin

Neuruppin's main claim to fame was the birthplace of Theodor Fontane, who wrote the novel Effi Briest...Luckily, MSV came along to salvage the town's reputation.

The roots go back to 1919 with the founding of Neuruppiner Turnerbund, which eventually became a military sports club ( Militärsportverein Neuruppin) and finally Märkischer Sportverein Neuruppin. (The "Mark" is a region of Brandenburg). The club was dissolved after WW-II.

After restarting in 1948, the club went through several name changes again: die ZSG Neuruppin, Nordwest Neuruppin, Mitte Neurppin, Konsum Neuruppin, Empor Neuruppin, Elektronik Neuruppin. Success on the field was relatively non-existant.

After reunification, there was another short name change to TuS Neuruppin, but they soon went back to MSV. The club has about 1,000 members, and soccer has become increasingly dominant. It would seem that during the GDR days, soccer was deemphasized, as after reunification, MSV began climbing up the ladder. It also appears that the city works department (Stadtwerke Neuruppin) has stepped in as the main sponsor.
