With woe and grief we had to take note of the passing of our long-standing member Peter Staller (*June 3^rd 1942 †July 18^th 2019).

Already in the 1960s, the young talent was active for König Nied. Before he played for SC Höchst and had become Hessian Youth Champion and runner-up at the German Youth Championship. Yet shortly after the founding of SC 1961 König Nied he joined the new club, won the club's Blitz and Cup Championships and brought in precious points at the top board of our first team.

Willi Ellenberger was born on May 18th 1933 in Frankfurt Nied.
