TuS Bar Kochba, is a German association football club based in Nürnberg, Bavaria established in 1913 as a social-sport club for the Jewish community in Nürnberg.
The club only fields a side in the senior A-league of the Bavarian Football Association, a competition made up of older players. [1] [2]
TuS Bar Kochba was founded in 1913 as the "Jewish Gymnastics and Sports Club Nuremberg". It was named after Simon bar Kokhba, a Jewish rebel. In 1939, the Nazi authorities dissolved the association. It was refounded in 1966 by Arno Hamburger and Paul Baruch. It is no longer exclusively Jewish. [3]
A Berlin chapter, the Bar Kochba Berlin, was also formed. [4]
