history

Structural development

When, after the Second World War, the Soviet occupying power had permanently smashed all previous sports clubs due to Directive No. 23 of the Allied Control Council , Chemnitz lost its importance as a Saxon football stronghold for a long time. Until the 1940s, both the police SV Chemnitz and the Chemnitzer BC represented the city in the Gauliga Sachsen , one of the 16 highest German football leagues at the time. A new beginning began in the course of 1946 with loosely organized sports communities that were initially only allowed to hold sports competitions at the local level. Several of these sports associations were also launched in Chemnitz, and SG Chemnitz Nord was the most successful in soccer.

As part of the introduction of the system of company sports associations, Fewa-Werke Chemnitz took over SG Nord in 1948 and converted it into BSG Fewa Chemnitz. After the founding of the central sports association for the chemical industry, the BSG was renamed Chemnitz Chemnitz in January 1951. On May 10, 1953, Chemnitz was renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt, and so the BSG also adopted the new name Chemie Karl-Marx-Stadt.

When the sports associations began to form their own sports priorities and the previous BSG Chemie became the sponsorship of the Fritz Heckert heavy machinery factory , the BSG was converted into the Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt sports club on March 3, 1956 . From 1963 the addition "engine" was dropped. In the course of promoting GDR football, the football section was finally separated from the sports club and re-established as the Karl-Marx-Stadt football club on January 15, 1966 . After this long series of structural and name changes, FC Karl-Marx-Stadt remained in existence until the end of the GDR.

After the social and economic changes as a result of German reunification, the East German sports clubs had to transform themselves into civil associations. At first, Chemnitz considered reviving the traditional Chemnitzer BC, but finally on June 12, 1990, as the successor to the FC Karl-Marx-Stadt, the Chemnitzer FC was entered in the city of Chemnitz's register of associations (renamed on June 1, 1990).

Sporting development

After the Second World War

From 1946 on, SG Chemnitz Nord took part in the Chemnitz district soccer relay, in which it took first place in 1947 and third in 1948. When the soccer district played in two seasons in the 1947/48 season, SG Nord won its season, but lost in three finals for the Chemnitz championship of SG unit Meerane (1: 3, 2: 1, 2: 3). In 1950, the successor BSG Fewa came second in the East District Relay and thus qualified for the second-rate GDR league introduced in 1950/51 .

1950s and 1960s

From January 1951, the BSG entered under the name "Chemistry" and in 1954 made it into the GDR league . After relegation in 1957 , the now SC Motor played again in the first GDR league and was immediately passed through to the third-class II GDR league. After the immediate resurgence in 1962 succeeded in returning to the league. In 1958, local rival Motor West Karl-Marx-Stadt was briefly integrated into SC Motor as the second team. After the relegation of the first team to the 2nd GDR league, the second team became independent again as BSG Motor West in 1959. In the mid-1960s, the players wore sky-blue jerseys for the first time , which are still the club's trademark today.

The championship season 1966/67
Within three years, coach Horst Scherbaum , who had been with FCK since 1963, had managed to form a homogeneous team peppered with young talents around the experienced players Albrecht Müller and Dieter Erler, who came from SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1963 . In Scherbaum's third season, FCK started a series of 16 unbeaten league games in a row in the summer of 1966, so that at that point they were already at the top of the league table. At the end of the season, the Karl-Marx-Städter were seven points ahead of 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, the new GDR soccer champions. Throughout the season, Scherbaum was able to play a regular eleven in which none of the players played fewer than 22 of the 26 point games:

Manfred Hambeck (28 years old / 26 point games)
Claus Rüdrich (26/18), Fritz Feister (24/26), Peter Müller (20/26)
Albrecht Müller (27/24), Joachim Posselt (22/26)
Rolf Steinmann ( 24/23), Dieter Erler (27/21)
Eberhard Schuster (26/26), Manfred Lienemann (20/21), Eberhard Vogel (23/24)

During the season, Claus Kreul (9 games), Friedrich Hüttner (7), Manfred Matyschik (6), Hans-Heinrich Wolf (2) and Volker Benes (1) were also used. Rolf Steinmann was the top scorer with 10 goals.

Record of the championship season: 14 wins, 9 draws, 3 defeats / 39:23 goals / 37–15 points

In the following season the Himmelblauen competed in the European Champions Cup , but were already defeated in the first round by the Belgian representative RSC Anderlecht with 1: 2 and 1: 3. This began the gradual decline of the surprise champions from 1967. In the following two years, the team ended up with the ranks 6 and 7 only in the midfield.

1970s and 1980s

In 1970 , the FCK rose again from the league, but succeeded in the following game series, the immediate rise. At the end of the 1971/72 season, FCK surprisingly won the one-time Fuwo Cup . In the seventies and eighties, the FC Karl-Marx-Stadt played continuously in the league and was mostly in the middle of the table at the end of the season. In the Eternal Table of the GDR Oberliga, the FCK takes twelfth place. After third place in the 1988/89 season, the Himmelblauen returned to the international stage. In the UEFA Cup in 1989, FCK eliminated Boavista Porto and FC Sion , only in the third round the Karl-Marx-Städter were eliminated after two defeats (0-1, 1-2) against eventual cup winners Juventus Turin .

Balance of the FDGB cup games

The SC / FC Karl-Marx-Stadt made it to the semi-finals of the GDR soccer cup competitions eight times. He reached the final three times, but the Karl-Marx-Städter never won the FDGB Cup. The terminus were

  • 1960: 1: 7 against SC Motor Jena in the semi-finals
  • 1969: 0: 4 against 1. FC Magdeburg in the final
  • 1970: 1: 2 against FC Vorwärts Berlin in the semi-finals
  • 1972: 0: 1 against FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the semifinals
  • 1983: 0: 4 against 1. FC Magdeburg in the final
  • 1984: 1: 2 against FC Dynamo from Berlin in the semi-finals
  • 1987: 1: 3 against 1. FC Lok Leipzig in the semi-finals
  • 1989: 0: 1 against FC Dynamo from Berlin in the final

1990s to 2010

In 1990 the club was runner-up in the GDR due to the worse goal difference compared to Dynamo Dresden . In the 1990/91 UEFA Cup, after two 2-0 defeats against Borussia Dortmund, the game ended in the first round. With the fifth place in the table in the last league season 1990/91 , the Chemnitz qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga and finished the first season in 1992 with a respectable fourth place. In 1993 the CFC made it into the semi-finals of the DFB Cup . After the team had previously thrown Werder Bremen out of the competition, they failed against the surprise team Hertha BSC Amateurs . After five years of membership, the Chemnitz team were relegated from the second division in 1996. The club played in the Regionalliga Nordost for the next three years . In 1997 and 1998 the club was able to win the Saxony Cup twice in a row and thus secure participation in the DFB Cup the following year. The Himmelblauen then finished the 1998/99 season as champions, prevailed in the promotion games against VfL Osnabrück (0: 1, 2: 0) and thus returned to the 2nd Bundesliga. Only two years later, however, after a desperate season, CFC rose from bottom of the table with just three wins from 34 games ( all-time table of the 2nd Bundesliga : 46th place). Then the club played in the Regionalliga Nord and fought there regularly against relegation. In the 2005/06 season they rose from bottom of the table in the Oberliga Nordost / Süd. In the same season, the Sachsenpokal was won for the third time and qualified for the DFB-Pokal . In the 2006/07 season they were eliminated in the first round of the DFB Cup against the former Bundesliga club Alemannia Aachen . The club finished second behind FC Energie Cottbus II and barely missed promotion to the regional league. In the 2007/08 season, the club qualified second for the new three- tier regional league . As the winner of the Sachsenpokal 2009/10, he qualified for the DFB-Pokal 2010/11 .

The time from 2010 - return to professional football

In the first main round of the DFB-Pokal of the 2010/11 season they met Bundesliga club FC St. Pauli . The CFC surprisingly won the game 1-0 and thus moved into the second main round, where they met Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart . There the CFC lost in front of 17,145 spectators in the stadium on Gellertstraße with 1: 3 after extra time. On the 33rd matchday in the Regionalliga Nord, the CFC made the promotion to the 3rd division perfect with a 1-0 win over RB Leipzig and thus celebrated his return to German professional football.

In the following season , the Himmelblauen were initially permanently in the lower half of the table in the first half of the season . However, thanks to a series of 16 unbeaten games, they were able to work their way up to the relegation place in the second half of the season. However, the 3rd place in the table could not be held and so the CFC finished the season as the best climber in 9th place. In addition, they managed to qualify for the DFB Cup for the next season with a 5-4 win after extra time in the Sachsenpokal against VfL 05 Hohenstein-Ernstthal .

During the 2012/13 season , Chemnitzer FC was able to position itself permanently in the upper midfield of the 3rd division . This made it possible to stay in the third division for the coming season. On May 15, 2013, the 2011 Sachsenpokal final was held again, in which RB Leipzig and Chemnitzer FC faced each other in the Red Bull Arena . After Chemnitzer FC were already 2-1 ahead at halftime, the final was lost 4-2.

The 2013/14 season , third season for the CFC in the 3rd division, was the weakest to date. After the team was in danger of relegation and the long-time coach Gerd Schädlich on matchday 12, after a disastrous team performance in the 4-0 home defeat against Preußen Münster , at the press conference immediately after the game, the team took their new place Head coach Karsten Heine was 12th at the end of the season. Also due to the commitment of the new sports director Stefan Beutel, who replaced Jörg Emmerich during the winter break , the club again made positive headlines. In addition to staying up, the club celebrated their seventh win of the Saxony Cup with a 3-2 win after extra time against FC Oberlausitz Neugersdorf .

The CFC got off to a promising start in the 2014/15 third division season . The team from Chemnitz also caused a sensation in the 2014/15 DFB Cup : In the legendary first round match against Bundesliga club 1. FSV Mainz 05 it was 3: 3 after 90 minutes and 5: 5 at the end of extra time. The club won the penalty shoot-out 5-4. In the second round, the Chemnitz Werder Bremen lost 2-0. At the beginning of the second half of the season, the CFC lost its good starting position in the league game. In the end it was enough with 5th place for the most successful result in the 3rd division. The Saxony Cup has already been won for the 8th time.

The fans of the Himmelblauen experienced a mixed season in the 2015/16 season . In the DFB Cup, Borussia Dortmund was drawn for the first main round . The Chemnitz team lost their home game with 0: 2 despite a good performance. In the Sachsenpokal they were eliminated in the round of 16 against Dynamo Dresden . In the point games, the team could not convince either. After the 28th matchday and the 2-0 defeat against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach , coach Karsten Heine was dismissed due to unsuccessfulness; the team had now slipped to 17th place in the table. Sven Köhler took over his position and thanks to a strong final spurt, 6th place in the table could be achieved.

The 2016/17 season, which marked the 50th anniversary of winning the GDR championship in 1966/67, was, contrary to expectations, rather modest. The first full season under head coach Sven Köhler and his assistant coach Ulf Mehlhorn ended with 8th place in the table, although the club was never in a relegation place during the season, but with only two game days in place 3 in the table, it was not able to intervene in the promotion race . On August 2, 2016, the new stadium was officially opened with a friendly match against Borussia Mönchengladbach . Unrest in the environment arose on the one hand due to increasing criticism of head coach Sven Köhler, individual comments by players also suggested a disturbed relationship with the team. There was further unrest for financial reasons when the new commercial director Dirk Kall discovered a large financial deficit in the sky blue. Game operations could continue after the city council approved a payment of 1.26 million euros due to the premature termination of a long-term lease in the course of the new stadium construction and the energy supplier Eins Energie in Saxony provided equity capital of 1.5 million euros, which was paid within of 10 years is to be repaid. The board of directors and the supervisory board resigned and were newly elected. Steffen Ziffert became the new head of sport and put the previous sporting director Stefan Beutel on leave towards the end of the season. Chemnitzer FC and head coach Sven Köhler agreed after a mutual agreement not to extend the expiring contract. The license for the 2017/18 season was in great danger and could only be obtained under strict conditions through an immense effort by all those involved. After all, the Sachsenpokal was won 2-1 in the final against 1. FC Lok Leipzig, which entitles them to participate in the DFB-Pokal. The German record champions FC Bayern Munich were drawn as a lucky ticket for the first round of the DFB Cup .

Bankruptcy 2018

On April 10, 2018, the association announced its bankruptcy. The current season was difficult in terms of sport. The club was in the 3rd division in 18th place in the relegation battle with 7 points behind in 17th place and five matchdays outstanding. The Cologne lawyer Klaus Siemon was appointed as the insolvency administrator . The deduction of 9 points due under Section 6 of the DFB rules of play was imposed by the DFB on April 23, 2018 and became legally binding on May 2. This resulted in relegation to the regional league. Thomas Sobotzik was announced as the new sporting director on May 3, 2018.

Further developments in 2019

After a long dispute between the club management and the city of Chemnitz about the amount of the stadium rent in the event of the expected promotion to the 3rd division, this was finally left at the level of regional league membership by city council resolution on March 6, 2019. Chemnitzer FC rose to the 3rd division after the 2018/2019 season and relegated to the regional league on July 4, 2020.

Controversial memorial service in honor of Thomas Haller

After the death of the hooligan Thomas Haller, who was active in the right-wing extremist scene , a mourning operation was carried out in the stadium before the game against VSG Altglienicke on March 9, 2019. Haller was the founder of HooNaRa , and its security company also worked for the association until 2007. Haller's picture was displayed on the video wall and a banner with a cross was spread over the fan block. Pyrotechnics were used. The stadium announcer also read a text. There was a minute of mourning. The player Daniel Frahn held up a t-shirt of the hooligan scene after a goal. The entire campaign received a lot of media attention.

As a result, Thomas Uhlig resigned his office on March 10, 2019. On March 11, 2019, the club separated from its fan representative and SPD deputy in the city council, Peggy Schellenberger, who had expressed condolences on Facebook . The stadium announcer and a member of the communications department were also released from their duties. The player Frahn received a fine from the club for the unsettled action, he was also banned by the association for two games and is on probation for two more. The association filed a criminal complaint "against unknown persons for all offenses under consideration". While the insolvency administrator continued to speak of a blackmail situation and coercion, the local police authority was not aware of such a situation. The media also reported an internal chat process in which u. a. Peggy Schellenberger and Thomas Uhlig were involved. Although there were some concerns that Thomas Haller was an explosive personality and that a memorial service in his honor was therefore critical, this did not lead to the prohibition of the actions carried out later, but rather were classified as controllable and the image of Mr. Haller has been rehabilitated as meanwhile.

    Second team

    As district champion of Karl-Marx-Stadt , the second team of the FCK was able to immortalize itself several times in the annals of GDR football . Most recently, the Reserve elf succeeded in 1983/84 the title in the Karl-Marx-Städter district league , after the first of the season 1, the ASG Vorwärts Plauen , was defeated in the two finals of the district championship following the victory in season 2 . In the promotion games for the second-rate league , however, the team could not prevail and remained third-rate until the team's withdrawal in the summer of 1989. The district league place was awarded to the BSG Motor "Fritz Heckert" Karl-Marx-Stadt , which took this place with its second team. Thus the second strongest city rival at the time suddenly had a team each in the second and third highest DFV league.

    In the 1970s , the Karl-Marx-Städter's second representation succeeded in making the leap into the lower house in the course of the expansion of the league to 60 teams in five seasons through the 1972 district championship. After rank 8 in 1972/73 , the team had to relegate back to the district league as bottom of the table in 1973/74 (each in season D). For another season, 1975/76 and this time in season E, FCK II was among the participants in the league. In the course of the provisional dissolution of the 2nd teams or their conversion into the teams of the junior league in the summer of 1976, three seasons with 66 games and a 121st place are recorded in the Eternal Table of the GDR League for the FCK reserve.

    After reunification , the second team of Chemnitzer FC initially succeeded in Saxony's football: in 1991/92 the team won the title in the Chemnitz district league (5th division). The following year, the CFC amateur eleven won the Sachsen Landesliga and qualified for the third-class amateur league in the NOFV area . The leap into the 1994 re-introduced regional league as the third highest division succeeded the CFC reserve as 14th of the season south of the NOFV amateur league 1993/94 but not. For three seasons the team was able to hold in the fourth-class league , before relegation to the state league in 1996/97 and a year later in the Chemnitz district league had to be acknowledged.

    The second team, mainly with players up to 23 years of age in the squad, was canceled by Chemnitzer FC for the 2015/16 season. She played in her last season in the five-class league .

    Women's soccer

    The roots of the women's football department of Chemnitzer FC lie with the BSG Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt. In 1980 the team won the “Best Determination”, the GDR's unofficial championship. In 1983, 1985, 1987 and 1990 they became runner-up and in 1988 they won the “Cup of the Democratic Women's Association ”. As fifth in the top division season 1990/91 you missed the leap into the Bundesliga . After the season, the section was taken over by Chemnitzer FC and was relegated from the Oberliga Nordost in the first season . In the years that followed, the CFC's women's team became the elevator team and was promoted to the regional league four times and relegated just as often. Only between 2004 and 2007 was the team able to hold out in the Regionalliga Nordost for a longer period of time.

    In the 2010/11 season, the team played in the Landesliga Sachsen, which was completed in first place, and rose to the regional league northeast for the sixth time in the club's history after the following relegation games against SC 1903 Weimar . In 2011/12, after a coach change during the winter break, Markus Seiler became the new head coach, and a strong second half of the season, they were still able to stay up. The 2012/13 season ended in twelfth and last place in the NOFV Regionalliga. Only on the last match day was relegation sealed with a 2-1 defeat at BSC Marzahn .

    In July 2011 the CFC women became German champions in beach soccer . In summer 2012 they lost the final and became runner-up.

    The most successful and best-known footballer who was in the service of the “Himmelblauen” is the national player and world champion Anja Mittag , who is now active at VfL Wolfsburg .
