History

The Goettingen Uni cricket Club is one of only around 50 clubs in Germany. The club started with the help of the British Tourist Board in Frankfurt, the British Army and the 1st Royal Tank Regiment Hildesheim who supplied the team with enough equipment to furnish the club and offered a date for a game on their base. The first team comprised a mixture of people who had played cricket before and some who hadn't. All came from the Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, most from the Department of Neurobiology.
A major milestone in Göttingen cricket was gaining permission from the University of Göttingen to make a pitch at the University Sports Ground. The Cricket Team of the University of Göttingen is a founder-member of the German Cricket Association (DCB) and cricket has flourished since then (1988). Cooperation with the University of Göttingen has expanded, so that the club hosted several national indoor championships, with greatly increasing numbers of teams. Moreover, nets were erected for practise. A priority in the coming years will be to introduce more students to the game.

Cricket in Göttingen has now entered its second decade.
