The Bad Neuenahr International or Internationale Bad Neuenahr was a combined tennis tournament founded in 1909 as the Neuenahr-Ahrweiler International.[1] It was held at HTC Bad Neuenahr, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany and played on outdoor clay courts. The tournament was discontinued in 1978.[1]

History

Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler is a spa town[2] in the German Bundesland of the Rhineland-Palatinate that serves as the capital of the Ahrweiler district.[3]

In 1882 a spa was first established in the town at Wiesenallee.[4] Then two new lawn tennis courts were built, later further two tennis courts were built at the Kurhaus.[4] By the early 1890s visiting wealthy spa guests and locals began to play against each other on these courts.[5] In 1900 in order to promote tennis responsibility for staging events was down to the spa administrators.[4]

In 1909 the first international open tennis tournaments were held and continued until 1911.[4] The foreign participants were usually bathers taking a cure in the spa's.[4] In 1912 the spa administration donated a "gold cup" that attracted good players from all over Europe to Neuenahr,[5] known as the Neuenahr-Ahrweiler Gold Cup awarded to winners of the men's singles event in the international tournament.[1] The first winner was the Belgian champion Louis Jacques Émile Trasenster.[1][4] In 1920 the Hockey Tennis Club Bad Neuenahr was opened,[6] with 14 new clay courts and the event transferred there. In 1921 the spa administration transferred the event to HTC Bad Neuenahr.[1][7] The tournament was staged annually until 1978.[1]
