Question

Is there a rugby team in Munster/Germany?

Answer 1

There are rugby sides in Germany. And they DO play rugby in that country.

The Germany national rugby union team is a third-tier rugby union-playing nation of Germany. They first played in 1927 and have yet to qualify for the Rugby World Cup. Rugby union in Germany is administered by the Deutscher Rugby-Verband.

Rugby union reached Germany through affluent British students, who attended renowned private grammar schools in the German Confederation or studied in Heidelberg, others completed their military service in Hanover and played rugby in their spare time. This has influenced German rugby to this day: Heidelberg and Hanover are the centers of the sport in Germany.

The first German rugby team existed at Neuenheim College - now called Heidelberg College - in Heidelberg. Around 1850, the game started to attract the attention of the students. Students under the guidance of the teacher Edward Hill Ullrich were the ones who then founded the Heidelberger Ruderklub von 1872 (HRK 1872) in 1872, which is today the oldest German rugby club.

The German Rugby Federation was set up in 1900. Germany was Olympic silver medallist in rugby union in 1900 and beat France twice in the 1930s.

And for those of you who seem to be geographically challenged...there IS a Munster in Germany.

Münster (IPA: [ˈmʏnstɐ]) is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located in the northern part of the state and is considered to be the cultural centre of the Westphalia region and it is also capital of the Münster (region) called Münsterland. It is most well known as the location of the Anabaptist rebellion during the Protestant Reformation and as the site of the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia ending the Thirty Years' War in 1648. Its bishops held temporal power for many centuries.

Answer 2

It would help if there was a city called unster in Germany first.

I think you probably mean Munich or Munchen as it's know there. There probably will be, it won't be that good though as Ruggers is a minorty sport in Deutshchland.
