prehistory

In the FV Fortuna Magdeburg the sports football, athletics, handball and volleyball were represented. In 1919 he got his own stadium on Rothenseer Straße, which could hold 8,000 spectators.

Until the Second World War, the Fortuna footballers were comparatively successful, they were several Gau and Elbe district champions. Several players were appointed to national teams.

history

After all associations had to be dissolved at the behest of the Soviet occupying forces, the BSG Turbine Magdeburg was founded on November 14, 1950 with the participation of former Fortuna association members. Since the Schöppensteg sports field was also assigned to the BSG, it is justified to regard it as the successor to the FV Fortuna Magdeburg. The sports of the pre-war period continued, later the sections swimming / water polo, cycling, table tennis, chess, billiards and weight training were added. At times the BSG had over 1000 members.

The most successful department of the BSG Turbine Magdeburg was the soccer department. In the 1960 season, the department made it to the second GDR League . In the 1961/62 season she was sorted into season 2, surprisingly ended the season in first place and thus made it to the GDR league . In the 1962/63 season she was sorted into the North Season, finished 11th in the season consisting of 14th teams and thus secured herself relegation. Before the 1963/64 season, Wolfgang Abraham moved from SC Aufbau Magdeburg to Turbine Magdeburg and, with his 16 goals this season, had a large share of ninth place. In the 1964/65 season she could not build on the performances of the previous season and finished 15th and penultimate place in the season. Together with the BSG Empor Neustrelitz and the BSG activist Brieske-Ost , she had to relegate to the district league.

The BSG Turbine also qualified several times for the FDGB Cup . She survived the first round only two times, the first time in the 1964/65 season and the last time in the 1976/77 season .

Succession

The economic reorganization after the political change of 1989 brought with it on the one hand the loss of the financial basis of the company sports associations, but opened the establishment of self-financing clubs. On this basis, the BSG turbine was transferred to the Fortuna sports club on June 15, 1990. With financial help from the city, the Schöppensteg stadium was extensively renovated by 2005 and, in addition to the grass pitch, also had an artificial turf pitch. In addition to the departments of badminton, boxing, gymnastics and volleyball, the footballers continued to dominate, whose men's team made it into the fourth-class NOFV league between 1996 and 2000 . The women's soccer team was also successful, and until 1997, before it founded its own club as the Magdeburg FFC , it was in the midfield of the third-class Regionalliga Nordost. Financial difficulties in the club forced those responsible to let the first men's soccer team play only in the seventh-class state class of Saxony-Anhalt from the 2000/01 season. In the 2006/07 season he was promoted to the national league. In 2008, another success was celebrated by winning the Magdeburg City Cup. In contrast, the 2008/09 season ended disappointingly with relegation to the national class. A year later, however, succeeded in returning to the state league and winning the city cup again. In the 2010/11 season, the march into the Association League Saxony-Anhalt , from which the club had to relegate in 2013. In 2016 she returned to the association league.

The women's handball department of SV Fortuna merged in 2000 with that of SC Magdeburg to form HSC 2000 Magdeburg .
