Berliner Tennis Club 1904 Grün-Gold e.V.

The Berlin Tennis Club 1904 Grün-Gold e.V. plays on Paradestraße in Tempelhof, on grounds that were created after the First World War during the development of Tempelhofer Feld. Nine clay courts are outdoors, four of which are under an air-supported hall in winter. Among the tennis courts in Berlin, this hall is one of the few that non-members can also book.

Berlin Tennis Club 1904 Grün-Gold e.V.: Clay Courts on Paradestraße

The facility is located on Paradestraße in Tempelhof, just a few steps from the U6 subway station of the same name and in the vicinity of Tempelhofer Feld. It was created after the First World War when the field was developed and State Secretary Adolf Scheidt pushed for sports areas. The Berlin Tennis Club 1904 Grün-Gold e.V. itself has existed since 1904. During the Second World War, the wooden clubhouse, built in a country house style, completely burned down; the current one was inaugurated in 1954 and thoroughly renovated in 1985.

A piece of city history is literally embedded in the ground. After the blockade of West Berlin, members restored the courts themselves in 1948 and 1949, and the club terrace, which still exists today, was created from piled-up rubble. Play takes place on nine clay courts, which are available throughout the outdoor season. Until the field was developed, the area was open land; today, the facility is located in a mature residential neighborhood.

Air-Supported Hall, Training, and Club Life at Grün-Gold

Over the winter, an air-supported hall with LED lighting covers four of the clay courts, and unlike the outdoor courts, it is also open to non-members. After a one-time registration, hours can be booked online; access to the grounds and changing rooms is via a code from the booking confirmation. On the outdoor courts, guests play only when accompanied by a member and pay 15 Euros per hour; the annual fee for active members is 410 Euros. Outdoor courts can be reserved up to seven days in advance, though two of the courts can only be booked at short notice via the screen in the clubhouse.

902 members now belong to the Berlin Tennis Club 1904 Grün-Gold, which is why admission is via a waiting list. Seven coaches provide individual and group lessons, cardio tennis, and nine tennis camps per year; the youth section is organized into squads. In the summer season 2026, 23 teams will compete, and the U12 team became Berlin champions. Afterward, members meet at the Club Bistro Grün-Gold. Additionally, there are club tournaments, LK daily tournaments, and a children’s festival, which is an integral part of the club year.
