history
Today's SC 1911 has a number of forerunners. On June 27, 1911, the Heiligenstadt 1911 football club was founded in the district town of then 8,000 inhabitants. Up to the Second World War it underwent a number of restructuring, and names such as Blau-Weiß Heiligenstadt and SC Olympia Heiligenstadt appeared. In 1945, in Heiligenstadt, as in the entire Soviet occupation zone, all sports clubs were banned at the instigation of the occupying power and sports competitions were only permitted on a narrow regional level. A loosely organized sports community was formed to continue the sport in Heiligenstadt. It was taken over by the state administrative institutions of the city around 1949 as part of the reorganization of the sporting system in East Germany on the basis of company sports associations and converted into the BSG unit Heiligenstadt. In the following years the sponsoring company and thus the name of the BSG changed several times : 1956 "Rotation", 1964 "Motor" and most recently in 1985 BSG Solidor Heiligenstadt as the company sports association of the metalworking plant Solidor based in Heiligenstadt . After the economic changes caused by German reunification, Solidorwerk stopped supporting the company sports community in the early 1990s. Then the civil association 1. SC 1911 Heiligenstadt eV was founded, which was entered in the register of associations on May 19, 1992.
Development of the sport of football
Football in Heiligenstadt has never got beyond the lower class level. His path can be most clearly traced in the GDR era. In 1953, the BSG unit was promoted to the then third-class district league Erfurt . With a one-year break in the district class, the BSG played continuously in the district league until 1986 under their later names. After a further two years in the fourth-class district class, another three district league seasons followed until the end of GDR sport in 1991. Heiligenstadt was able to qualify twice for the GDR-wide FDGB soccer cup competition. In 1958, the BSG Rotation won 3-2 at home over the third division activist Tiefenort and reached the second round of the cup, where, however, the third division Motor Oberlind suffered a hefty 6-0 defeat. In 1982 activist Tiefenort was again opponent in the first round, but this time BSG Motor was eliminated at home after extra time with 1: 3. The SC 1911 has been commuting between the national class and the association league since 2001.
Current development
As of 2011, the soccer department of SC 1911 has two men's and 13 youth teams of all ages . The handball department is in play with a women's team and two male and two female junior teams. The first soccer team plays in the sixth class Thuringia league, the handball women in the regional league South Lower Saxony. In 2011 the men reached the final of the TFV Cup , but lost there at home to regional league team ZFC Meuselwitz, who played two classes higher, with a 5: 6 penalty on penalties. In the Thuringian League, SC 1911 was runner-up in the 2010/11 season.
