As a city in the Ruhr area, Witten can also look back on a long football tradition. One of the best-known clubs is SV Herbede, which was founded in 1920. The club played in the Oberliga Westfalen and the Verbandsliga Westfalen, among others. Another important club in Witten football history is TuS Heven, which was founded in 1912. A highlight for Witten football was the DFB Cup game between TuS Heven and the then second division team SC Freiburg in 1996. Although TuS Heven lost the game 0-2, it was an important event for the club and the city .
Today there are several football clubs in Witten that play in the various leagues of the football association, including SV Bommern 05, VfB Annen and FSV Witten, which play in the Wullen Stadium. Not to forget: due to the proximity to Dortmund and Bochum, there is always a bit of top-flight wind blowing here.
Witten also offers charming backyards and plenty of cafés and bars in the Wiesenviertel, which you should definitely visit!
