Location

In November 2011 the football museum was given a new domicile in the Glücksgas Stadium , the home of Dynamo Dresden , on Lennéstraße in the Pirnaische Vorstadt district . Previously, until the end of 2010, the museum rooms were on the ground floor of a prefabricated building on Hauptstrasse in the Innere Neustadt district , near Neustädter Markt . In January 2011 the building was demolished.

Collection and exhibition

The collection includes more than 10,000 objects on the subject of football from the entire 20th century in Dresden. These include admission tickets , around 4,000 programs , photos, certificates, specialist magazines, pennants , jerseys , posters, trophies , flags and pins . Almost without exception, they belong to Jens Genschmar's private collection . He is a museum director, Dresden city council member (formerly FDP , now Free Voters Dresden) and was a member of the supervisory board of Dynamo Dresden for several years. The collection also includes the only surviving jersey from the German national soccer team from before 1933. For these tours, registration in the stadium is required. In addition, individual tours (from 10 people) can be booked.

Exhibition on the main street

Showcase of the football museum at the former location on Hauptstrasse

The exhibition on Hauptstrasse was divided into the period before and after 1945. In the first section, among other things, the history of the Dresden English Football Club was documented, the world's first sports club to play football outside of Great Britain under the rules that are still valid today. In addition to the Dresdner SC , its German championship and Tschammer cup titles as well as its national players Arno Neumann , Richard Hofmann , Helmut Schön etc., other larger clubs from the pre-war Dresden period were also presented, including the forerunners of Sportfreunde 01 Dresden-Nord and Guts Muts Dresden . But also the history of smaller clubs like Dresdensia Dresden , Dresdner SG 1893 , Dresdner SV 1910 , Dresdner SV 06 Laubegast and the forerunners of SC Borea Dresden was documented.

In the post-war period, the SG Dresden-Friedrichstadt , Rotation Dresden, Einheit Dresden and the FSV Lokomotive Dresden found several forerunners and successors to the Dresdner SC, which was banned in the GDR. The history of SG Dynamo Dresden and its predecessor SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden was particularly comprehensive, in particular the Dynamo games in the various European Cup competitions between 1973 and 1991 Well-known Dresden trainers and players such as Walter Fritzsch , Dixie Dörner , Klaus and Matthias Sammer and Ulf Kirsten also took part. The exhibition was completed by 40 complete years of " fuwo " and a football cinema, in which important historical games by Dresden teams could be seen.

After the exhibition was closed, the 2,000 exhibits were stored from the end of 2010.

Exhibition in the DDV stadium

At the end of 2011, the football museum in the DDV Stadium (then Glücksgas Stadium) on Lennéstrasse received an exhibition area in the VIP area. It can be viewed as part of the historical stadium tours offered on a regular basis. Among other things, you can see the national jersey from Richard Hofmann's estate, which is the only surviving DFB jersey from the period before 1933, the gold medal won by Reinhard Häfner at the 1976 Summer Olympics and the first Dynamo Dresden master’s certificate from 1953 .

history

Museum founder Jens Genschmar has been collecting all conceivable objects about Dresden football history that he wanted to make available to the public since the 1980s. He found the right space for this in the former location of the youth library of the Dresden City Libraries on Hauptstrasse. On May 12, 2006, the Dresden Football Museum opened there. Lothar Müller, an ex-Rotation Dresden player and father of the former Dynamo player Matthias Müller, also helped build the museum . On November 3, 2008, parts of the football museum were transferred to the Dresden City Archives , which thus expanded its own football collection. The museum had to close until further notice at the end of 2010 because the building was demolished, and then had a small exhibition in some showcases in the Glücksgas Stadium.

In November 2011, the museum received new premises in the Glücksgas Stadium. Also in November 2011, the museum ended its long-term cooperation - u. a. in the form of permanent loans made available free of charge - with the German Football Museum of the DFB in Dortmund , which is currently under construction , after the DFB Sports Court excluded Dynamo Dresden from the DFB Cup 2012/13 . The court decision was later revised.
