BSG Chemie Zeitz
The BSG Chemie Zeitz was a company sports association (BSG) in the city of Zeitz . It emerged from the HSG or BSG hydrogenation plant in Zeitz . In 1960 she was GDR champion in women's handball and was represented with her football team in the GDR Oberliga , the top division in GDR football , in 1959 and 1960 .
Structural development
After all clubs had been banned by the Soviet occupying power after the end of the Second World War , loosely organized sports communities (SG) were initially established in the sports area of the Soviet occupation zone , which were initially only allowed to hold sports competitions on a local level. Such a sports community was also formed in Zeitz, which initially appeared simply as SG Zeitz, but in 1947 took on the name SG Rot-Weiß Zeitz. In 1948 she joined the Zentrales Sportgemeinschaft Zeitz (ZSG), which in turn took over as ZSG Gasolin Zeitz and from September 28, 1949 as ZSG Hydrogenation Plant Zeitz. This became the BSG Chemie Zeitz in the course of the formation of the central GDR-wide chemistry sports association on September 1, 1950. After the political change in the GDR in 1989/90 , the BSG was transferred to the new legal form of a registered association with the name SG Chemie Zeitz on July 1, 1990 . On May 5, 1994, their football department founded the independent club 1. FC Zeitz.
Handball
For many years, the most successful section of BSG Chemie was handball .
Women
The women played first class for several seasons. In the season 1957/58 they came in indoor handball on the 5th place of six teams in the season I and 1958/59 the BSG women were 6th in the season II of the league. In the following season, BSG Chemie Zeitz won first season confidently and relegated the previous year's champions from SC Progress Weissenfels to 2nd place. Zeitz then won the final against the BSG Lokomotive Rangsdorf 7: 5 and thus the GDR championship title . The final took place on February 20, 1960 in Berlin. It remained the only title, because Zeitz ended up only in midfield in the following season. In the 1962/63 season, the penultimate 9th place was occupied in Season II, and the BSG Chemie rose after six years of first class and only three years after the championship title. The handball players never made it back to the House of Lords.
In the season 1965/66 Chemie Zeitz was able to prevail in the district league and rise to the second-rate league since the founding of the handball league in 1964. After two years, however, the descent followed again.
In field handball , the women of BSG Chemie Zeitz also played in the top division for several years. After promotion in 1957 they came in the following season in Season I of the league on the 5th place of eight teams. This was also the best placement. For the next few years they always played against relegation. In 1962 the women finished 9th penultimate and had to return to the second division.
The outstanding handball players at BSG Chemie in the 1950s and 1960s include the national players Schädler and Brigitte Wacker and Erika Quarg, who was awarded the title of Master of Sport in 1955.

Soccer
The football department of the BSG went back to the 1910 FC Sportvereinigung Zeitz from 1910 . In the pre-war period, the FC mostly played lower class and fought with Zeitzer BC from 1903 for supremacy in the city. In 1940 he was promoted to the Gauliga , at that time the highest German football league. There the FC reached fifth place in the league in mid-1941 and sixth place in 1942. In 1943 the team rose again from the Gauliga.
After the Second World War, SG Zeitz won the district championship in 1947. In 1950 the BSG Hydrierwerk Zeitz reached the final of the state championship in Saxony-Anhalt and lost there against the BSG EHW Thale with 1: 3. With the runner-up, Zeitz had qualified for the second-rate GDR league , which was newly introduced after the division reform from 1950/51 , which was held in two seasons at the time. Already in the first year the Zeitzer took second place behind Wismut Aue in the southern relay . In the following years, the BSG Chemie mostly achieved placements in the middle of the table and was able to qualify for the single-track GDR league in 1955.
The BSG succeeded in 1958 promotion to the football league , the top division, where you could hold two seasons. In 1958, the Zeitzer rose as the season winners by five points. The two strikers Bernd Bauchspieß and Herbert Krontal contributed significantly to this success with a total of 32 goals. In their first league season in 1959 , the team occupied a respectable tenth place in the table, before they had to relegate back to the GDR league after the second season in 1960 as penultimate. In both Oberliga seasons Bernd Bauchspieß was top scorer in the GDR Oberliga with 18 and 25 goals respectively .

From 1961/62, Chemie Zeitz only played second class, and for a short time also in the third class Halle district league . The greatest success of the soccer section was participation in the finals for the FDGB Cup in 1962/63 . In the final in front of 25,000 spectators in Altenburg , Chemie lost 3-0 to BSG Motor Zwickau . In 1973 the Zeitzer reached the promotion round to the league after their relay victory in the league, but did not make promotion with only two wins. From 1982 Zeitz only played in the district league. In the last season of the Halle district league in GDR football in 1990/91, Chemie Zeitz was seventh and then classified in the new league system of the Saxony-Anhalt football association as the newly founded SG Chemie Zeitz in the then fifth class state league. 1.
