When all sports clubs in the Soviet occupation zone were permanently dissolved after the end of the Second World War , loosely organized sports groups and sports communities developed, which were initially allowed to resume sports activities at the local level. This happened mainly in the field of football . Such a sports community was also founded in Großenhain, which first appeared in the Dresden soccer district in 1948/49, where it took fifth place among ten teams. For the 1949/50 season, soccer games in Saxony had been reorganized, and the previous sports community in Grossenhain had been transformed into ZSG Textil Grossenhain. She finished sixth in the third-class district league Dresden. After the introduction of the new second-rate GDR league in 1950/51, this league became a fourth-rate league, in which ZSG Textil only came in ninth among eleven teams and had to relegate.

After the descent, another structural change was made. On June 2, 1951, the ZSG was transformed into a company sports association and was given the name "BSG Turbine Grossenhain". Under this name, the BSG made it into the Dresden district class (4th league) in 1953. By creating the II. DDR-Liga the Bezirksklasse 1956 for the fifth league in which the BSG Turbine 1957 the rise in which was Bezirksliga District Dresden managed. The Großenhainers were able to hold their own there for four seasons and won the district cup in 1958 with a 1-0 victory over the district division Chemie Coswig . Grossenhain was thus eligible to participate in the 1959 GDR-wide soccer cup competition. In the preliminary round Turbine Großenhain met the Leipzig third division team Motor Gohlis-Nord and retired from the cup competition after a 3: 4 home defeat.

In 1961/62 the soccer players of the BSG Turbine fell victim to the amalgamation of the two district league relays. Relay place eight was not enough to stay in the league, so that the team had to compete again in 1962/63 in the district class, which, however, had become fourth class again after the second GDR league was discontinued. Grossenhain managed to return to third division within one season. After that, the BSG Turbine was represented in the Dresden District League from 1963/64 to 1967/68. In 1968 there was another relegation. It took until the 1970/71 season before the promotion to the district league again succeeded. In the 1960s, the shuttlecock (badminton) section had a successful team. It peaked at the GDR championships in 1969, when Ingrid Standtke and Christine Naumann won the bronze medal.

In 1970, the BSG changed the carrier operation with an agricultural machinery company and changed its name to "BSG Landtechnik". In the following period, the agricultural technicians commuted between the district league and the district class. After the rise in the district league had succeeded again in 1976, a new name change was due. The textile machine factory Textima had taken over the sponsorship and the BSG now appeared as "Progress Grossenhain". The district league could be held for three years, between 1980/81 and 1983/84 one was again the elevator team between the third and fourth league. The progress footballers reached their lowest point in the 1983/84 season, when they had to start relegation to the county league.

Until the last season of GDR football in 1990/91, the BSG Progress no longer managed to return to the district level. It had disbanded as early as 1990, and new civil sports clubs had shared their legacy among themselves.
