The German association football club known today…
1860 CE
The roots of the TSV's founding as a physical fitness and gymnastics association go back to a meeting held July 15, 1848, in a local pub, Buttlesche Brauerei zum Bayerischen Löwen.
It was a time of revolutionary ferment due to the 1848 Revolutions, and the club had been banned in 1849 by the Bavarian monarchy for "republican activities".
The club is formally reestablished in 1860 and after mergers with a number of other local associations in 1862 will be known as Turnverein München.
