history

1921 to 1990

The fact that the place, which had around 1,100 inhabitants before the First World War, became known in football beyond its immediate vicinity is due to the intense industrialization of the place. Before a montan wax factory , later Romonta , was built in 1922 , potash salts and lignite were already being mined in Amsdorf . 1. FC Eintracht Amsdorf , which was founded on May 10, 1921 in the “Zum Hecht” inn , did not gain any national importance for the time being. When all existing sports clubs were dissolved by the Soviet occupying forces on the basis of Directive No. 23 of the Allied Control Council after the end of the Second World War , a loosely organized sports community emerged in Amsdorf, which was initially only allowed to host sports competitions at the local level. Only after sport had been reorganized in the form of company sports associations in East Germany , the Amsdorf lignite plant founded the BSG Glückauf Amsdorf for its employees in 1948 , which was renamed BSG Aktivist Amsdorf in 1952 after the establishment of the central " Activist Sports Association " for the coal mining sector . This rose in 1953 to the then third-class Halle district league and was able to stay there until 1960, although there were still no more than 1,200 residents in the village. After that, the Amdorfer company sports club was relegated and only returned to the third division for two seasons from 1975 to 1977. Between 1952 and 1990, the trainers Kurt Vorkauf , Gerhard Kulitze and Martin Schwendler , who were later successful in the GDR, worked in Amsdorf .

FDGB Cup 1957

In the 1957 season, activist Amsdorf caused a sensation in the GDR soccer cup . As a finalist in the Halle District Cup in 1956, the team qualified for the GDR-wide FDGB Cup competition in 1957. After victories over the lower-class teams from Motor Schmerbach and Traktor Wasungen , Amsdorf met second division Empor Wurzen-West in the 3rd round , who initially won a 0-0 draw at home after extra time. In the second leg, activist Amsdorf surprisingly won 3-0 on the opponent's place. For the 4th round the lot had finally determined the first division club SC Lokomotive Leipzig , which at that time was in the middle of the GDR Oberliga . Although the Amsdorf team had to compete in Leipzig, they were able to wrest a 2-2 draw from their opponents in regular time. Only in extra time did the team admit defeat 2-4. Back then Lahfeld was a two-time scorer on the Amsdorf side.

1990 to the present

After the company sports associations were no longer supported by their sponsoring companies as a result of German reunification in 1990 , BSG members founded the civil association 1. FC Eintracht Romonta Amsdorf in Amsdorf . The addition "Romonta" indicates that there were still connections to the Romonta company at that time . Between 1993 and 1999 the name was dropped before the club changed its current name to 1. FC Romonta Amsdorf 1921 in 1999 . The renaming obviously took place in connection with the rise of Amsdorf in 1998 into the then fifth-class association league Saxony-Anhalt , when a powerful sponsor was needed. Since then, relegation has been secured. After the introduction of the single-track third division in the 2008/09 season, the association league is now the sixth highest division in the DFB league system . In the association league season 2018/19 you became champions.
