Steglitzer-Tennis-Klub 1913 e.V.: Clay Courts Behind Residential Buildings

The Steglitzer-Tennis-Klub 1913 e.V. complex is located in Lichterfelde, surrounded by residential streets, and is entered via Undinestraße. Although the postal address is Gélieustraße, first-time visitors should aim for the entrance on Undinestraße. Little can be seen from the outside, but behind it opens up a green area with a total of ten clay tennis courts and a clubhouse, which was already inaugurated on May 29, 1921. For the colder months, a hall is added, so that play continues throughout the winter.

The club was founded on February 23, 1913, and its origin story is unusual. Eight dance enthusiasts between seventeen and twenty years old sought an activity for the sport-free summer season and wrote the statutes in a private apartment. The club crest with the eagle head dates back to the old Steglitz coat of arms from 1887, and the club colors are still green and white today. Between 1924 and 1971, the Berlin Junior Championships were held on these courts for decades.

Taster Courses, Youth Work, and Club Life at Steglitzer-Tennis-Klub

You can join Steglitzer-Tennis-Klub even without membership. The club offers taster courses for children aged four and up, for teenagers, and for adults; the first two sessions are free, and rackets are provided. The winter course for adult beginners costs 275 Euros for the season. Those who stay permanently pay 412 Euros per year as an active member. Additionally, there is a one-time admission fee and a work contribution, as is common in Berlin tennis clubs.

Six licensed coaches cover everything from ball school to performance-oriented team training. 638 members belong to the club, which will compete with 23 teams in the summer season 2026, in addition to internal club tournaments, a mini winter tournament, and youth trips. The catering has been run by Alex for over twenty years, whose roast goose dinners at the club have their own reputation, and the large terrace in front of the clubhouse overlooks court M. In addition to tennis, the club also maintains its own hockey section, which makes it a special case among Berlin tennis clubs.
