ESV locomotive southeast Magdeburg
The ESV Lok Southeast Magdeburg is in the Magdeburg district Westerhüsen -based sports club. As BSG Lok Südost, the club became GDR indoor handball champions in 1962/63 .
history
The origins of the club lie in workers' sports in the towns of Westerhüsen and Salbke, which were incorporated into Magdeburg in 1910 . The employees of the Salbke Reichsbahn repair works , the water works, a soap factory and the glassworks had come together to practice sports. However, the association was dissolved during the National Socialist era .
On September 26, 1950, the company sports association Lokomotive Südost Magdeburg was founded as a company sports association of the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk (RAW). Initially the community had 300 members. The Tonschacht sports field was built on the site of the former Diana forced labor camp in Westerhüsen . The first section was the gymnastics section, which took part in national gymnastics competitions with 30 male gymnasts as early as 1949. Teams for women and children were also formed.
After the political change in 1989/90 , the BSG took on the status of a registered association and has been called ESV Lok Südost Magdeburg ever since.
Soccer
The beginnings of the football section also go back to 1949, when employees of the Fahlberg-List chemical plant and the RAW formed a team. From 1950 a men's team took part in the game operation of the 2nd district class , which later rose to the 1st district class. From 1953 there were two men's and two youth teams. In the youth field, some regional successes could be achieved, so the juniors sometimes played in the district league. In 1975 170 children and adolescents were cared for in the youth area, in 1977 ten youth teams were in play. Today the first team is active in the Magdeburg City League .
In September 2017, the renovation of the Tonschacht sports facility was completed with the inauguration of the new sanitary building.
Handball
The most successful and most important section for a long time was the handball section. At first field handball was played. The forerunners of the section initially played in the Magdeburg city class after the Second World War . Already in 1950 one was active in the national class. In 1951, the first team became state champions of Saxony-Anhalt , with which they rose to the second highest division in the GDR. From there, the BSG rose immediately to the top division. In 1953, the handball association declared it a priority team and gave it special support. The youth team achieved the GDR championship title in 1953 and 1954. In 1955 they came second in the FDGB Cup. At the championships in 1955/56 and 1956/57 the BSG was runner-up. Success was also achieved internationally. The women's handball team rose to the GDR league.
With the advent of indoor handball, the BSG Lok Südost switched to this style of play. In 1961/62 and 1962/63 the BSG each moved into the final of the GDR championship. The opponent was the team from the German University of Physical Culture Leipzig . While they were narrowly defeated in 1961/62, 1962/63 managed to win the championship under coach Heinz Brückner . Most of the team members were full-time employees of the Salbke Reichsbahn repair shop. The team also included Klaus Miesner , who later also worked as a coach .
The GDR sports policy, however, then went to centralize more about competitive sports. The company sports associations, including the BSG Lok Südost, had to take a back seat to the interests of regional sports clubs. The best players of the BSG were delegated to SC Magdeburg . In 1965 the BSG rose to the GDR league, then in 1975 even to the district league. In 1976, the handball sections of Lok Südost and Fermersleben- based BSG Motor Südost formed a game community using a newly built hall. The syndicate succeeded in 1977 and 1988, the rise in the GDR league, but after each season you rose again.
Hiking, mountaineering, orienteering
A ski group also existed before the BSG was founded. Since October 1949, eleven athletes, mostly RAW apprentices, have practiced winter sports. Until 1952, the main travel destination of this group was the Harz . Even later there were training opportunities in Schierke . In the summer months, people went hiking and mountaineering. The hiking, mountaineering, orienteering section developed from these beginnings . The group's athletes regularly took part in the Rennsteiglauf and the Harz Mountains . Participation in international mountaineering meetings has taken place since 1964. Section member Bernd Wilke took part in 1974 with a GDR team to climb the 7,105 m high Korschenewskaja Peak in the Pamir . In 1975 two members climbed the 7134 m high Lenin Peak, also located in the Pamirs . The normal climbing areas of the group were still in the Harz and in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains . The mountaineering group had a hut in Drei-Annen-Hohne . The group was also regularly used in construction work at great heights until 1989.
Other sections were sailing and canoeing. In 1988 the BSG had 1260 members who were active in nine sections and two sports groups.
Club development after 1989
After the economic changes caused by the fall of 1989/90, the system of company sports associations could no longer be continued. This also affected the ESV, in particular due to the decline of the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk, the previous carrier company , which was finally closed in 1998. In 1994 the number of members had decreased to 368 people. The departments of mountaineering, football, gymnastics, judo, canoeing, table tennis and volleyball still existed.
The soccer department plays with the first team in the Magdeburg City League (as of 2018). The table tennis department also takes part in the competition in Magdeburg (1st team: 2nd city class, 2nd team: 4th city class, as of 2018). There is also a gymnastics department that operates purely for recreational sports.
