Düsseldorf ,North Rhine-Westphalia . The club was founded in 1923.The rise to power in Germany of the
Nazis in the early 30s led to discrimination against Jews and by 1933 Jewish teams were excluded from general competition and limited to play in separate leagues or tournaments. In 1938 Jewish teams were banned outright as discrimination turned to persecution. In the aftermath ofWorld War II Jewish sports and cultural associations eventually re-emerged in Germany with "Maccabi Düsseldorf" leading the way with its re-establishment in 1965. Through the 70s and 80s the club grew to include departments forbasketball ,gymnastics , andtable tennis .ee also
