history
1920-1945
The Planitzer SC, founded in 1912, played on the sports field on Bergstrasse in Oberplanitz until 1920 . In 1919 the club acquired the so-called meat meadow in Niederplanitz from the Planitz butchers' guild . The guild had acquired this 1500 m² part of the Seifertwiese in 1899 in order to build the Planitz slaughterhouse there. This did not happen for various reasons, however, and after the First World War the situation had changed; in the meantime the Zwickau central slaughterhouse existed and the traffic connection between Planitz and Zwickau had improved. Therefore, the building plot on Fichtestrasse, above the Planitzer Strandbad (escort pond) was sold to Planitzer SC.
The club leased adjacent land from the Planitz landlord von Arnim and began building the new Central Sports Park. The construction was financed by a loan from the club members and realized with a lot of personal contributions.
On August 21, 1920, the new venue, initially an ash square, was opened. The PSC won the consecration game against SC Vimaria Weimar 3-1. Two goalscorer for PSC was Willy Kießling .
The first international team to visit the Central-Sportpark was the Dutch Voetbal-Club Heracles Almelo , which on April 12, 1925 was able to achieve a 3-1 away win in a friendly against PSC.
In the summer of 1925, the square was drained, an ash track and a natural grandstand were created that could accommodate 5,000 spectators. On October 25, 1925, the PSC won 4-1 against Zwickauer SC after the ball for the consecration game had been thrown from an aircraft. Again Kießling scored two of the four Planitz goals.
As was customary at the time, the gates were made of squared timber, the nets were stretched over wooden arches to the rear.
For the 20th anniversary of the PSC, the reigning German champion Hertha BSC came to Planitz on May 14, 1932 . The friendly match in front of 6,000 spectators ended 5: 2 for Hertha with the best line-up. Five years later, on the 25th anniversary, the opponent was TSV 1860 Munich . The PSC won this game 5-1.
In 1938 the Central-Sportpark was rebuilt and the friendly game against Ostmark Vienna had to be played in front of 7000 spectators on the Schedewitz sports field, which caused displeasure among the Viennese because this ash field was not in good condition. The game ended 3: 3, goalscorers were Jerusalem , Sindelar and Stroh for Vienna and two Heyne and one Seltmann for PSC.
During the renovation in 1938, the Central-Sportpark received a redesigned entrance area with massive ticket booths, a 100 m long wooden grandstand with a capacity of 2600 spectators. It was the largest covered football stand in Saxony. Now finally equipped with turf, the place, now named Westsachsenkampfbahn , met modern standards. Schalke 04 was invited for the upcoming square inauguration . On August 14, 1938, PSC led 3-0 after goals from Heyne, Breitenstein and Seltmann, before Mecke and Kalwitzki scored 3-2 for Schalke (PSC: Grunert, Stemmler, Tautenhahn, Dietel, Schubert, Merkel, Heyne , Seltmann, Breitenstein, Weigel and Dittes; S04: Beusch, Bornemann, Sontow, Gellesch, Tibulski, Breg, Engels (Prinz), Kallwitzki, Szepan, Eppenhoff, Kuzorra and Mecke).
1945 – today
The Westsachsenkampfbahn suffered a bomb hit during the air raid on Zwickau on March 19, 1945, which left a bomb crater on the field and damaged the grandstand. Despite hunger and hardship in the immediate post-war period, the damage was quickly repaired, so that, on the orders of the American occupiers, a game between liberated Yugoslav slave laborers and a selection from Zwickau took place. The audience were all American soldiers; the public was not allowed. The exact date of the game is not known, but since the American occupation of Zwickau only lasted from April 17 to July 1, 1945, the game must have taken place in May or June.
According to the Allied Control Council Directive No. 23, all associations in Germany were banned. This also affected the Planitzer SC. The sport was restricted at the district level in order to restrict the Germans in their mobility. The ban on national sports lasted until March 1948. On the Westsachsenkampfbahn and the Zwickau Südsportfeld , for example, games of a four-player tournament with the teams Zwickau-Mitte, Cainsdorf, Glauchau and Planitz took place in October 1946. The first official soccer games in Zwickau after the Second World War took place on August 19, 1945, but the regional championship was not organized until April 14, 1946. It is not known when the first point game after the Second World War was played on the Westsachsenkampfbahn. but it must have been in the context of the district championship in 1946. From 1946 to 1948/49 the Westsachsenkampfbahn was the home stadium of the sports club Planitz, which was newly founded after the club was banned .
On March 15, 1949, the Zwickau sports community in the Mitte district merged with the Horch Zwickau company sports community to form the Central Sports Community (ZSG) Horch Zwickau . SG Planitz, proud of the PSC tradition, initially refused to join the ZSG until it was finally decided in May 1949 to join. The ZSG took over the starting position of the SG Planitz in the top division of the time. The venue was now the Georgi Dimitrov Stadium . The second team of SG Planitz played - still on the Westsachsenkampfbahn - the season 1949/50 in the Sachsenliga to an end. The initially planned renaming to ZSG Horch Zwickau, Planitz department did not take place. In 1950 the BSG activist Karl Marx Zwickau was united with the SG Planitz and took over their place in the state league (3rd GDR league), d. H. The SG Planitz was more or less renamed Activist Karl Marx and was now a company sports community with the sponsoring company Karl-Marx-Werk Zwickau , which only strengthened the connection between the mining community of Planitz and the coal industry . The game continued on the Westsachsenkampfbahn, which was named after the miner Alfred Baumann in 1951 .
In the years that followed, up to 1969, the Alfred-Baumann-Kampfbahn saw point games in various classes, from the two-part GDR League (South Staffel) to the district class Karl-Marx-Stadt. With the scheduled cessation of hard coal mining in the Karl Marx plant at the end of the 1960s, the company sports community was also restructured and incorporated as the second team into what is now the BSG Sachsenring Zwickau . Sachsenring II played in the first East German league, still in Planitz, in the now Südkampfbahn hot forming Stadium.
Every now and then the first team from Sachsenring played on the Südkampfbahn, but not in competitive operations.
Since 1990 the Südkampfbahn belongs to SV Planitz, which currently plays in the Savings Bank League Westsachsen. In addition, the 2nd team and the U23 of FSV Zwickau play on the Südkampfbahn.
In 2018, SV Planitz decided to use the Südkampfbahn exclusively as a game and training facility for the youngsters.
