TC Grün-Weiß Nikolassee 1925 e.V.: Clay Courts in the Villa Colony

The facility is located on Kirchweg in Nikolassee, bordered by the Rehwiese and the Zehlendorf lake district, and surrounded by old pine trees. From the street, the grounds appear inconspicuous; only beyond the entrance does the view open up over the entire complex. The club was founded in 1925 as the sports department of the local Nikolassee association, becoming independent on May 28, 1934. After the war, the grounds were initially confiscated; in 1950, the Berlin magistrate issued a new license, and since then, TC Grün-Weiß Nikolassee 1925 e.V. has continuously played at the same location.

Eight clay courts are symmetrically distributed across the grounds, making spectating from one spot surprisingly comfortable. For winter, two permanent indoor courts with joint-friendly swivel velour flooring are added in the nearby Tewsstraße, most recently modernized in 2023, as well as an air-supported hall over two additional clay courts. This hall has been in place since 2011 and is equipped with LED light strips and an energy-saving inner skin. This allows both surfaces to be played on all year round.

Clubhouse, Restaurant, and Operations of TC Grün-Weiß Nikolassee

The clubhouse dates back to a villa built around 1920 according to plans by Hermann Muthesius and significantly extended in 2000. Today, it houses reception rooms, a fireplace room, and a restaurant managed by Nataliya Kost and her team. It is open year-round to guests who are not playing themselves. The large sun terrace overlooks all outdoor courts, making it the true center of the facility on match days.

Approximately 630 members belong to the club, and with about thirty teams participating in league play, TC Grün-Weiß Nikolassee is broadly positioned in terms of sports. The first teams play in almost all age groups in the highest achievable league. The annual membership fee for adults is 650 Euros; guests pay 15 Euros per hour and play accompanied by a member. A club friendship with Karlskrona, Sweden, has existed since 1967. In the youth sector, the club works with its own support concept, which also includes offers for children without club membership.
