OUR HISTORY

A rich history
The Rowing Club of Strasbourg was founded on the 16th of January 1879.

For more than a century the club saw a wealth of achievement and built its future in the clubhouse at 2 rue des Salles. At the beginning of the 20th century that area was sparsely populated and home to the industrial activity of the city. Neighbours included the thermal power station on rue de Molsheim. 125 years later, at the beginning of the 21st century the clubhouse no longer met the needs or norms of the new era and the profile of the neighbourhood had changed.

In 2008, in co-operation with the city of Strasbourg, the decision was taken to build a brand new clubhouse on a new site nearby. During the construction period the rowing club was housed at the ASCPA and on Weiler Island. The new clubhouse in the Heyritz quarter was put into action in January 2013 at 9 allée Colette Besson, to carry the Rowing Club of Strasbourg, with its proud history, on into the future.
