history
The beginnings of Reichenbacher FC go back a long way. As VfB 1907 Reichenbach, the club played briefly in the 1a class of the Gau West Saxony. In 1924 the club was renamed 1. FC 1907 Reichenbach and played consistently in the 1a class in Gau Göltzschtal until the 1932/33 season. After all sports clubs had been banned by the Soviet occupying forces and sports were initially only permitted by loosely organized sports communities at the local level, the SG Reichenbach was established in Reichenbach, whose football players played only a subordinate role in the following years. Around 1950 the SG was converted into the BSG unit as part of the introduction of the East German company sports community system under the sponsorship of the municipal administrative institutions. With the help of the solid economic basis thus created, the BSG football section was able to develop further and in 1962 rose to the then fourth-class district league Karl-Marx-Stadt . There she was immediately district champion and qualified for the 2nd GDR League . Here she reached in the following season 1962/63 as a newcomer a respectable fourth place, but then had to return to the district league, since the II. GDR League was dissolved.
The Reichenbachers not only did well in the second GDR league, the team also made a name for itself as a third division team in the competition for the GDR soccer cup . After victories over two district cup winners and the fourth division team Motor Suhl , the BSG unit made it into the third main round, where it only had to admit defeat 1: 2 after extra time against the relegated league Lok Stendal .
In the following years unit Reichenbach occupied the top ranks in the district league. After the legal entity was expanded to include local businesses via the BSG in 1966, the BSG unit was transformed into SG Blau-Weiß Reichenbach. Under this name, the soccer team became the season winner of the district league in 1967, but lost to the second team of FC Karl-Marx-Stadt in two games with 1: 2 and 1: 1 in the fight for the district championship .
In 1968 the SG Blau-Weiß, which had been relegated to the fourth class district class a year earlier, won the district cup and thus moved into the GDR Cup competition in 1968/69. There she eliminated the second division FSV Lok Dresden with a 2-1 home win in the first round and only failed in the following intermediate round after a replay with 1: 1 and 0: 2 at the second division Motor Eisenach .
After four years in the district class, Blau-Weiß managed to climb up to the district league again for two seasons in 1981, then the team played again in the district class until the end of GDR football. After the introduction of the DFB game operations in East Germany, the SG Blau-Weiß, meanwhile converted into a civil club, was incorporated into the then fifth-rate Chemnitz District League in 1991. She stayed there until the end of the 1994/95 season. With the 16th and last place, the team had to relegate to the district class. This was taken as an opportunity by the soccer department of SG Blau-Weiß to reorganize and the independent Reichenbacher soccer club was founded. In 1999 he was promoted to the Chemnitz district league, since 2008 the 7th league in the DFB game operations. In 2015 the club was promoted to the sixth class Sachsenliga . Since Heidenauer SV had withdrawn the team from the game for financial reasons at the end of the 2015/16 season, the athletically relegated Reichenbacher FC received the vacant Sachsenliga starting place instead.
