BSG Motor Mikrosa Leipzig

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The company sports community (BSG) BSG Motor Mikrosa Leipzig is a former sports community that was based in what is now the eastern Leipzig district of Sellerhausen from 1971 to 1990 .

Structural development

In retrospect, two Leipzig clubs founded in 1990 refer to BSG Motor Mikrosa. After the collapse of the system of company sports associations, its football section called FSV Tapfer Leipzig in 1990 to life, which in 2006 took on its old name SV Tapfer 06 Leipzig again. The former members of the Mikrosa volleyball, table tennis and gymnastics sections re-founded the Allgemeine Turnverein Volkmarsdorf 90 (ATV Volkmarsdorf) on September 25, 1990. While the ATV was founded in 1858, the SV Bravely came into being in 1906. The ATV had around 1200 members by the beginning of the Second World War . As a result of a merger, the ATV became the Leipzig-Ost gymnastics and sports association. The main sport was gymnastics until it was dissolved in 1945. Football was the focus at SV.

Both clubs fell under the club ban in the Eastern Zone in 1945 . Their members found themselves after the approval of loosely organized sports communities in the SG Leipzig Ost. After the system of company sports associations was introduced, SG Ost was converted into BSG Mechanik Leipzig in 1950. In 1951 the name was changed to Stahl Ost, which was again renamed BSG Motor Mihoma Leipzig in June 1952. Mihoma referred to the carrier company , the mechanical engineering company VEB Mihoma. When Mihoma was incorporated into VEB Mikrosa in 1971, BSG Motor Mihoma became BSG Motor Mikrosa. This finally existed until 1990.

Soccer

Until 1958, the above-mentioned sports communities were only at the Leipzig district level. In 1958, BSG Motor Mihoma was promoted from the 1st district class to the fifth class Leipzig district class. After the end of the 1960 season (calendar year season), the BSG took tenth place out of thirteen teams in season 3. From 1960 the Leipzig district class was called 1st district class, but remained 5th division in the GDR league system. For the 1962/63 season, Leipzig football was changed again. The district class was reintroduced, and for Mihoma this meant being downgraded to the 1st district class, which became the 5th division after the 2nd GDR league was eliminated . Thereafter, the BSG did not succeed any more. In 1990 Motor Mikrosa won the Leipzig City District Cup.

Handball

The men of SG Leipzig Ost stood in the hall in 1950 in the finals of the GDR handball championship. There they advanced to the main round. In the decision to take part in the semi-finals, however, they lost 2-0 to SC Weißensee in a 10-minute match . The BSG teams were involved in the field championship from 1950 to 1954. In the championship, which was held in league form for the first time, Stahl Ost was sixth among nine teams in its relay. In the single-track league, the BSG Motor Mihoma twelve teams was only eleventh and had to relegate to the second-rate GDR league. It stayed there until 1954, when the field handball players were relegated again. After that they did not return to the GDR-wide handball operation.

Cycling

At the beginning of the 1950s, BSG Mechanik and BSG Stahl Ost had successful cyclists. Among them was the road racing driver Lothar Meister I , who won the road race around Leipzig as a member of SG Leipzig Ost . When he later drove for SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt , he took part in the International Peace Tour five times . The train driver Horst Pötsch began his career with SG Leipzig Ost. As a teenager he won four titles at the Saxon railway championships in 1949. After taking part in numerous railway competitions for BSG Mechanik, he moved to BSG Stern Südost Leipzig in 1950, where he became GDR sprint champion. In 1951 he moved to BSG Rotation Leipzig.
