history

The PSV was founded on August 16, 1920 by 37 police officers from the city of Chemnitz and initially consisted of the handball and football departments. The colors of the police sports club are still green and white today.

The stadium on Gellertstrasse was built for the football section from 1932 to 1934 and the police pool in the Zeisigwald for the swimming section from 1925 to 1927 . In 1945, with the ban on associations in the Soviet occupation zone, the association was also dissolved. The swimming pool fell into disrepair and was converted into a tank farm by the Soviet Army in 1960 , the stadium was taken over by the city of Chemnitz.

On October 4, 1948, members of the police founded the "SV Polizei Chemnitz". Shortly after the club was founded in 1949, the sports club was opened to everyone. On July 1, 1949, the name was changed to "Sportverein Deutsche Volkspolizei" Chemnitz (SV DVP Chemnitz). There was another renaming in 1953. The association was now called "SG Dynamo Chemnitz" and was renamed shortly afterwards with the renaming of Chemnitz in Karl-Marx-Stadt in "SG Dynamo Karl-Marx-Stadt". With the political change in 1989/90 the association disintegrated.

The “Chemnitzer Polizeisportverein” was founded on June 12, 1990 by police officers.

Soccer

The club achieved national fame in the 1930s with its soccer team, which won the Central German Championship in 1932 with a 3-2 victory over Dresdner SC and only failed in the quarter-finals of the 1932 German championship at Bayern Munich . In 1933 the Chemnitz team reached the final of the Central German Championship again, but were defeated by the Dresdner SC with 1: 3. In the subsequent final round of the German championship in 1933 , PSV retired in the first round after a 1: 6 defeat against FSV Frankfurt .

From 1934, PSV moved into the new stadium on Planitzstraße, today's stadium on Gellertstraße . In 1935 and 1936, the Chemnitz team won the championship in the Gauliga Sachsen . In the final round of the German championship in 1935 , the team made it to the semi-finals, but failed in the Düsseldorf Rheinstadion at FC Schalke 04 with 2: 3.

In 1935 PSV won the Saxon Cup. In the final, the police SV was able to prevail 6: 1 against the Sportfreunde 01 Dresden . In the Tschammer Cup , the club failed regularly from 1935 to 1937 in the second round. There were defeats against 1. FC Nürnberg and twice against SV Waldhof Mannheim .

From 1942 the club played under the name SG OrPo Chemnitz , under which the relegation from the Gauliga Sachsen took place in 1943 . In 1944 he was promoted to the Gauliga Chemnitz, which was canceled after three games in the 1944/45 season. Another highlight in the club's history is the 5-2 win against Real Madrid CF in 1934, in which the player Erwin Helmchen scored three goals.
