portrait

The origin of the BSG tractor goes back to the 1946 founded sports group (SG) Selmsdorf. This took part in the 1946/47 season with a soccer team in the state championship in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . 31 teams took part in a four-season league, which at that time was the only one in the league system to determine a national champion in the Soviet occupation zone . SG Selmsdorf competed against nine other teams in the West Mecklenburg relay. As the only village team, the Selmsdorfer had no chance and ended up in the last place in the table after only two wins and twelve defeats. Until 1951, the sports group, called SG Silbermöwe Selmsdorf from 1948, played in the Mecklenburg district class (the addition of Western Pomerania had been deleted from the state name in 1947). The district class was up to the 1948/49 season, the second division in the East Zone football league system. In 1949/50 it was the third division after the introduction of the East Zone League (later GDR Oberliga ) and in 1950/51 after the installation of the GDR League it was only fourth class.

For the 1950/51 season, the district class was reduced from four to two seasons and Selmsdorf had to compete at the district level in the future. In the course of the early 1950s, the sports group was transformed into the BSG Traktor Selmsdorf, with the local LPG as the carrier company . From 1952 onwards, Selmsdorf was located directly on the border with the Federal Republic of Germany, in the GDR restricted area , which could only be entered with a special permit. As a result, the BSG Traktor soccer team did not get above the district level for many years. Only between 1966 and 1969 did the footballers manage to assert themselves for three seasons in the fourth-class Rostock district class. In 1975, the BSG Traktor withdrew their football teams from the game operations and disbanded completely.
