prehistory

In the mid-1990s, the women's football department was founded at VfB Leipzig. At the end of VfB Leipzig, the women's team celebrated their greatest successes. In the 2002/03 season, the team rose from the regional league to the Northeast Regionalliga . Previously, this was only possible for a Leipzig team with SV Post Leipzig. In the very first season of the regional league, the team finished fifth and qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga .

history

After the dissolution of VfB Leipzig, the women's football department joined the newly founded 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig . This is the name under which the team competed in the newly founded 2nd Bundesliga. In the southern group they finished last with 10 points in the 2004/05 season and were relegated. After relegation, the team was able to secure the championship in the Regionalliga Nordost in the 2005/06 season and celebrate the direct return to the 2nd Bundesliga. In addition, the team was able to secure the Saxony Cup this season.

In the 2nd Bundesliga they were not again placed in the southern group, but in the northern group. With 34 points and sixth place, the people of Leipzig held the class and were the best climber. With the seventh place, the Leipzig women were able to confirm the performances from the previous season and again held the class. In the 2008/09 season , 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig intervened in the promotion race for the first time. Behind Tennis Borussia Berlin and the second team from 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam , they finished third at the end of the season.

After a fourth place in the following season was again not enough for promotion, 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig secured promotion to the 1st Bundesliga in the 2010/11 season . Although the Leipzig women did not become champions of the North Season, they were allowed to rise because the Hamburger SV II champions were not eligible for promotion. In the premiere season, 1. FC Lok did not get past last place and had to relegate. Overall, the team from Leipzig could only win four times, against FC Bayern Munich , Bayer 04 Leverkusen and twice against FF USV Jena . After relegation, they were again sorted into the northern season and only reached sixth place in the 2012/13 season and therefore could not have a say in the promotion.

On April 4, 2013, the FFV Leipzig was founded, a purely women's association, which should protect the women's department from a possible bankruptcy of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig. For the 2013/14 season, the women's department changed to FFV Leipzig and the women's department of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig was dissolved.
