Bayer Sports Facilities

The history of the Bayer sports facilities is nearly as long as that of Bayer sport itself. When Bayer directors Dr. Carl Duisberg and Friedrich Bayer jun. received a petition from Wilhelm Hauschild, in which 170 members of the work force asked for them to help them in their sporting activities, they agreed to look for a suitable “playground” immediately. By the way the first “sports facility” was a former “storage room for medial products” that was situated in Leverkusen.

Ever since those days early in the previous century a lot has happened. There are 27 Bayer sports clubs now with around 50,000 members and therefore the Bayer sports facilities have also been improved as the years went by. These days the members have got great conditions to go about their sports no matter if it is diasbled sport, competitive sport or recreational sport. A few of the many Bayer sports facilities linked to the various plant sites can be found on the following pages.
