Joersfeld Sailing Club

The Joersfelder Sailing Club is a Berlin sailing club, whose club grounds and harbor are located on the east bank of the Havel in the Reinickendorf district. The JSC is a member of the German Sailing Association, the Berlin Sailing Association, a founding member of Sailing-Team Germany e.V., and a member of the German Challenger Yacht Club.
Founded in 1907 as the Sailing Club United Joersfelder Sailing Friends, it was already renamed Joersfelder Sailing Club in 1909. After the cessation of sailing activities during World War I, the club quickly developed during the Weimar Republic. In 1919, the first part of the current grounds was acquired on what was then Roonstraße in the Tegelort district of Reinickendorf. A purchase in 1955 expanded the grounds. Harbor facilities, a boat shed, and a clubhouse were built. In 1926, the club joined the German Sailing Association. During the Nazi era, the club was “Aryanized,” and starting in 1937, Jewish members had to be excluded. The club was placed under state control, its organizational structure and bylaws were dictated by the state, and it was militarily oriented. At the end of the war, refugees were housed in the clubhouse, and the property, as well as some boats, were confiscated by the French occupying forces. From 1946, meetings were held again, and the club was newly founded in 1949. By mid-2010, the JSC had 111 regular members, 43 youth members, and 11 family members, as well as 24 guest and 21 passive members. Many club members are already involved in the second, and in some cases third generation.
