With a decree of 1865, school gymnastics was a compulsory subject, so that the Gymnastics Society Sibiu initially functioned almost exclusively as an academic club from that date. From about 1870 the fencing operations began and in 1891 the Gymnastics Society of Sibiu changed the named in Sibiu Men Turnverein (in German). From 1890 Turnfeste were organized regularly, their general interest led to the creation of a women's team in the girls' gymnastics in September 1896.
