The Turnerbund Wiesbaden 1864 J. P. (TBW) is a multidisciplinary club with around 2,900 members, making it the largest sports club in Wiesbaden (as of 2015). The proportion of women is 80 %. The Turnerbund was formed on 21.03.1923 from the merger of the Männerturnverein (MTV) from 1864 and the Turngesellschaft J. P. (TG) from 1879. The foundation charter of the Männerturnverein (MTV) was signed by eleven gymnasts on 27.04.1864. In addition to gymnastics, fencing was also practiced. The gymnastics club was founded in July 1879 and established a soccer section in 1899, which, however, broke away from the club in 1904 and founded SV Wiesbaden 1899. By 1929, on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the former men's gymnastics club, the gymnastics association already had around 1,000 members.

From the very beginning, the focus of the association's work was on popular sport with exercises. In 1952, the Turnerbund organized the qualifying competitions for the Helsinki Olympic Games in the Kurpark. The sports management was in the hands of Peter Schick, head gymnastics coach of the state, after whom the club's gymnastics halls on Kurt-Schumacher-Ring have been named since 1991. The club acquired the land there in 1965, and the building with the former "Jahn-Turnhalle" was inaugurated in 1970.

Today (as of 2016), the Turnerbund has gymnastics, rhönrad, health sports, aerobics, dance and rehabilitation sports, athletics, hiking and walking, bowling, handball, volleyball, karate and Zumba departments.
