Overview
Berliner Ruder-Club (BRC) was founded on 5 November 1880 and has its clubhouse on the Bismarckstraße in Berlin-Wannsee. Performance rowing has been the club's hallmark since its founding: U19 juniors train up to nine sessions a week, and BRC rowers race up to World Rowing Cups and European championships. There are also groups for children from 10, juniors, masters and recreational rowers, plus beginners' courses with a trial membership in coxed gig boats. The club runs the 'Rund um Wannsee' regatta.
