Football department
The SG Olympia 1896 Leipzig eV was founded in 1896 under the name BV Olympia Leipzig . In 1903 parts of FC Lipsia 1893 Leipzig went on in the club. On a sporting level, BV Olympia played in the championship of the Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs , in which the runner-up championship was achieved behind VfB Leipzig in the Gau Leipzig / Northwest Saxony in the 1909/10 season.
During the First World War, the club formed a war sports community with Leipzig BC and appeared until 1918 as SG LBC Olympia 1896 . By 1938, further renaming followed in BV Olympia-Germania (connection of SV Germania Leipzig ) and VfL Olympia 96 . The Olympics could no longer keep up with the large Leipzig clubs of VfB Leipzig, Wacker Leipzig or SpVgg 1899 Leipzig , and any participation in the Gauliga Sachsen did not take place. After the Second World War, the association, like all associations in the Soviet occupation zone, was dissolved by order of the Soviet occupiers.
In October 1950 the BSG Lokomotive Leipzig-Nord was founded. At the same time, the SG Leipzig Mitte club was dissolved and its entire football department, including playing rights and football pitch, was transferred to the newly founded BSG Lokomotive Leipzig-Nord. The BSG Lokomotive Leipzig-Nord had absolutely nothing to do with the VfL Olympia 96, which was dissolved in 1945 - neither in terms of history, nor of tradition or of the district. In 1951, BSG Fahrzeugbau Leipzig, founded in 1949, was incorporated into BSG Lokomotive Nord. In 1953 the club moved from the former sports field of the SG Mitte am Scherbelberg to the newly built sports field on the Mühlwiese in Rosenthal. In 1961, BSG Lokomotive Nord merged with BSG Motor Gohlis to form BSG Motor Nord. Only through this merger can a historic successor to VfL Olympia 96 be established through the merger partner BSG Motor Gohlis . Because the predecessor of BSG Motor Gohlis was SG Gohlis-Süd, which took over both the place and some former players from the dissolved VfL Olympia 96 after the Second World War. In GDR football, BSG Motor Nord played no role in higher-class football; any seasons in the Leipzig district league did not take place. After the reunification, the Leipziger played as SV Motor Leipzig-Nord . In 1999, VfL joined Leipzig in 1977 . Since 2005 they have been playing under the name "SG Olympia 1896 Leipzig eV".
Since the 2017/2018 season, the first men of the club has been playing in the city league of the Leipzig City Football Association. In the 2018/2019 season, the second men was promoted to the city class playing under the city league as champions of the district class. In the 2019/2020 season, which was canceled in spring 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, both teams played in the midfield of their respective leagues. In preparation for the 2020/2021 season, the first men received the regional league team from 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig. The 400 or so spectators saw an 11-0 victory for the significantly higher-class team from Probstheida. This friendly game was one of the first soccer games in Germany that was allowed to allow viewers of this size again after the lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated ban on spectators in compliance with strict hygiene rules.
The youth division of SG Olympia 1896 Leipzig eV has been working very successfully in national football in Central Germany for many years. In the 2020/2021 season, the club's full-field teams will play in the respective regional classes of Saxony (U19, U17 I and U15 II) and with the U15 I for the first time in the club's history in the regional league of the Saxon Football Association (SFV).
