The Eisenbahner-Sportverein Dresden eV ( ESV Dresden for short ) is a German multi-discipline club for mass sport and, with over 1220 members, is one of the ten largest Dresden sports clubs. It emerged from the former company sports association (BSG) Lokomotive Dresden, which was re-established in 1948 from the Association for Physical Exercise ( VfL ) Reichsbahn Dresden, which had been in existence since 1925 after all sporting activities had ceased after the Second World War . It is home to 16 sports : badminton, fistball, football, handball, hockey, ice and inline hockey, canoeing, bowling, artificial cycling, mountain bike orienteering, gymnastics, self-defense & martial arts, tennis, table tennis, gymnastics and volleyball ladies.

Club structure

The ESV is an association registered in the register of associations of the Dresden District Court since October 26, 1990 with the association colors red-black. It is headed by a four-person board that is elected by the delegates' assembly for a three-year term.

history

The predecessor of ESV Dresden was founded on November 30, 1925 under the name VfL Reichsbahn Dresden (from 1939 also Reichsbahn SG Dresden ).

After the complete cessation of sports operations in World War II and the dissolution of all Nazi sports clubs ordered by the occupying powers in 1945, the club was also dissolved. In 1948 Manfred Zukunft, who later became the head of production at RAW Dresden, made an appeal to re-establish a railway sports club. This took place on November 16, 1948 in the dining room of the RAW Dresden with 100 members in seven sections.

On June 17, 1950, the company sports community , analogous to all communities with the Deutsche Reichsbahn as the carrier company , was renamed Lokomotive Dresden .

The company sports community, which at times had over 20 sections, organized numerous sporting events (e.g. the first official competitions of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, children's and youth spartakiads , association championships, international games) and ensured the social integration of the BSG athletes (e.g. through sponsorship contracts with schools, establishment of three lottery points, festive events such as the “Oktoberfest” in the “Loksporthalle” on the sports grounds on Emerich-Ambros-Ufer).

After the system of company sports associations collapsed with the political change in 1989 , the BSG locomotive was converted into the ESV Dresden in 1990. Through the reorganization of the sports associations of the former GDR (including the dissolution of the DTSB ), the ESV Dresden integrated itself into the structures of the German Sports Association (DSB) and the Association of German Railway Sports Associations (VDES) as well as the State Sports Association of Saxony and the District Sports Association of Dresden.

Sports ground

Reicker Strasse

On September 9, 1928, a 16-hectare sports area at Reicker Strasse 61 was inaugurated in front of 2000 spectators. There was a hard court for foot and handball , a 400-meter running track, jumping pits, areas for apparatus gymnastics, two tennis courts, shooting ranges and a sports center with extensions for cabins (consisting of two Reichsbahn car bodies), showers and dry toilets, as well as three further car bodies, a judges tower and a public dry toilet. The Dresdner Anzeiger of September 4, 1928 reported in an article about the inauguration:

“The new sports facility is located in Strehlen on the site between Reicker Straße and Bodenbacher railway line and can be easily reached by tram. Embedded between market gardens and green fields, it is ideally located with its wonderful views of the Räcknitzer heights, Saxon Switzerland and Loschwitz heights and thus offers all the requirements for healthy body care. It is gratifying that the east of Dresden, which has so far been a bit short with sports fields, is getting a nice addition. "

- Dresdner Anzeiger from September 4, 1928

On September 13, 1931, a four-man shooting range was added on the railway embankment. From 1948, after the association was re-established, the site was restored. After the sports area was given up in 1999 by the last active user, the hockey department, the area became increasingly neglected. The sports home fell victim to arsonists in February 2004 and was demolished the following spring by the Federal Railroad Fund (BEV).

Hagedornplatz

On May 29, 1930 , a tennis facility with five clay courts and a clubhouse was set up in the immediate vicinity of the Reicker Straße sports field on the Dresden – Děčín railway line (Saxon-Bohemian Railway) in the Strehlen district at Hagedorn Platz . The system is also equipped with a ball wall and a sprinkler system . The clubhouse was renovated in the eighties.

Emerich Ambros Shore

Today's main sports grounds on Emerich-Ambros-Ufer 74 in the Friedrichstadt district , where the office and the club's casino are also located, was inaugurated on June 3, 1934 on what was then Weißeritzufer in the immediate vicinity of RAW Dresden . Significant preliminary construction work was carried out by the voluntary labor service as early as autumn 1933 . Two locomotive repair halls with auxiliary buildings were demolished for this purpose. A running track, a hard court for soccer, a grass field with two fistball fields, a modern four-lane bowling facility and a shooting range of 50 meters for small-caliber sport weapons were created on the vacated site. There were also washrooms and changing rooms. The later training workshop of the RAW was used for bowling pins , boxing , gymnastics , judo and glider construction .

This new main sports area of ​​the newly founded company sports association Reichsbahn Dresden was badly affected by the bombing on April 17, 1945 and made usable again by the members in 1948.

In the autumn of 1952, a wooden barrack from the Ore Mountains , built in 1938, was built on the sports grounds. With the support of the Reichsbahndirektion Dresden, the changing and sanitary conditions were considerably improved. The groundskeeper and referee rooms were also located in the barracks .

In 1953 the area received a new four-lane bowling facility with an attached club casino. In 1971 this was equipped with an automatic erection mechanism. In 1990 the facility was completely renovated.

In 1955, a small sports hall was added to the bowling alley, in which the table tennis section and the various gymnastics sports found a home.

On November 3, 1956, the sports grounds were given a large sports hall that was modern for its time. With a parquet playing surface that met the requirements of fistball, hockey and handball at the time, spectator stands, an honor and camera stand and a ticket sales booth was named “Loksporthalle” sports facility known throughout the city, ideal for major sporting events. In 1961, a modern district heating system was installed, and a year later the mobile stoves in the changing room were also replaced by a similar one.

A new grass pitch was part of the sports grounds from May 25, 1968.

In 1974 a weight room for extended fitness training was set up in the extension of the former company school at the "Loksporthalle", which was demolished after 2000.

In 1975 a modern social building was inaugurated, into which the Dresden Mitte station office moved on July 4th of the same year . Changing rooms and sanitary rooms have also been set up for the small sports hall directly adjacent.

By the end of the 1970s, many buildings on the sports grounds were extensively renovated, e.g. B. the "Loksporthalle" and the changing room.

In 1998 the ESV Dresden welcomed the Namibian national fistball team at the inauguration of a hard court that had been converted into a grass pitch for fistball .

In 2000, an artificial turf field was inaugurated on another former hard court with a 400-meter running track . Construction work began as early as September 1999, when the work pits of the locomotive halls located there, which were filled in in 1933/1934, as well as a cross-water pipeline caused problems. The artificial turf field is used by the football and hockey departments as a training and competition venue.

The flooding in the summer of 2002 hit the sports grounds directly on the Weißeritz particularly hard. The river, which was diverted in favor of the inner-city railway line between the main train station and the Dresden-Neustadt station in the 19th century , made its way into its old river bed and spread like a flood over the sports grounds and the entire Friedrichstadt district. The slow decline of the water especially affected the parquet in the "Loksporthalle", which then had to be completely renewed. The new artificial turf pitch was also flooded and had to be restored after barely a year of use. The Great Hall was also affected and could not be used again until November 2002. Since May 2011, the Emerich-Ambros-Ufer has been playing on a new Polytan artificial turf with irrigation.

The sports hall was later given a new covering due to the heavily damaged substructure of the parquet.

After the demolition in December 2005 by members of the association, the changing barrack, which had a normative useful life of 20 years, was replaced after 53 years of intensive use and several makeshift repairs. The new low-rise brick building at the same location has housed modern changing rooms with attached shower and wash rooms as well as toilets since 2006. Furthermore, rain retention basins were installed for proper drainage. The building also has a covered access to the "Loksporthalle".

Canoe boathouse

At the Dresden-Cotta stop on the Berlin-Dresden railway line, a boathouse for canoeing with 50 stalls was built on the Elbe on September 22, 1929 . The members of the newly founded "Canoe Division of the Dresden-Cotta Municipal Sports" rebuilt the boathouse themselves. It was destroyed by arson in February 1994 and, after being rebuilt, it was handed over in the shell on April 12, 1997 . Since then, it has been continuously improved and expanded by the members of the Canoe Department. In addition to boat garages and a lounge with catering facilities, there is space for overnight accommodation in the roof. A changing room and sanitary wing were built in container construction. There is also a barbecue area on the premises on the Elbe Cycle Path.

Impeller hut Geising

For the winter sports section, a lounge built in 1939 for the railway maintenance workers at the Geising train station in the Ore Mountains was handed over to the BSG for use as a hiking hut. The single-storey building with two bedrooms and a lounge as well as sanitary facilities has been expanded over the years by the athletes in the department that uses it (1962: new sanitary wing, 1977/78: gas heating ). B. by pennants , signs, coats of arms, etc. of the association and the region, and for identification with the railroad on January 20 and 21, 1950 in the name of "Flügelradbaude".

In addition to its function as a hiking hut, the building was u. a. used for courses with children and young people.

In 2008, ESV Dresden abandoned its use due to high operating costs , among other things . The building was sold by the federal railway assets in 2009 and is still used by the ski club Flügelradbaude eV , which was founded in the same year from the former ski department of ESV Dresden and other new members.

Wanderheim cribs

For the sections hiking, mountaineering and orienteering , a hiking home was inaugurated on October 15, 1962 in Krippen in Saxon Switzerland , which served as accommodation for hikes and weekend trips. The demolition took place in 1993.

Tourist accommodation Oberwiesenthal

Also for the sections hiking, mountaineering and orienteering there was a hiker's hut in Oberwiesenthal in the Ore Mountains from 1972 . After 1990 the ESV gave up the hiking hut.

Hockey department

In 1906 the first Saxon hockey club ( ASC 1906 Dresden ) was founded in Dresden by English students from the Technical University . From 1915 to 1945 there was a hockey department at Dresdner SC, and hockey was played at SG Dresden-Friedrichstadt until 1950 . In 1950 this club was forcibly dissolved, the hockey players from Dresden came to the BSG Lokomotive Dresden, as well as athletes from the ASV Dresden (merged with the ASC in the 1910s). From March 2000 hockey was played on the sand-filled artificial turf field at Emerich-Ambros-Ufer 74 . This was replaced in winter 2010/2011 by a new artificial turf with a sprinkler system. The locomotive sports hall has existed since 1956 and was also used for international tournaments and GDR championships during the GDR era. The department has 250 active members, making it the largest department of the ESV Dresden.

In 1944, the footballers of the Reichsbahn SG briefly appeared nationwide when they were accepted as a gap filler in the Gauliga Sachsen due to the war. However, she withdrew prematurely from the game. After the end of the Second World War, SG Cotta took part in the soccer championship of the Dresden district in 1946/47 and reached fifth place among ten teams in season 1. In 1948 and 1949 the BSG Reichsbahn was third in the relay, and in 1950 4th in the East relay in the Saxony championship. In the newly established GDR game system in 1952, the BSG Lok Dresden initially only played a sub-class role. It was not until 1954 that he was promoted from the district class to the fourth class Dresden district league . After two 3rd places in 1960 and 1962 as the best result, Lok Dresden was relegated from the district league in 1967 and never returned there. In 1960 the BSG locomotive won the Dresden District Cup. The ESV Dresden has not yet been able to establish itself nationwide. In 2006 the first team was promoted to the Dresden district class, which has been the 8th league since 2008. In the meantime you had to relegate several times, most recently in 2015 in the city league B Dresden (11th division).
