society
The roots of Zwickau railroaders' football go back to the last days of 1928. On November 18, 1928, the Zwickauer Tageblatt announced in a preview for the first time a game between VfL Reichsbahn Zwickau and VfL Reichsbahn Plauen. As a further indication of the establishment in 1928, the Zwickauer Tageblatt edition of December 30, 1928 contained a short report on a game between VfL Reichsbahn Zwickau and the Crossen football ring. The VfL Reichsbahn Zwickau first appeared in the list of clubs in the Gaus Westsachsen on August 1, 1929 with 24 members.
The team initially played on the Zwickau Swan Castle sports field, which was formerly used by many clubs, and later switched to the railway's own sports field on Bürgerschachtstrasse. The first few years the team played in the lowest division, the 2nd class of the Gaus Westsachsen. As early as 1931, after the third season, the team had to withdraw from competitions for the time being due to a lack of qualified personnel (due to injuries and game suspension). It was not until the 1933/34 season that the club was allowed to play point games again as part of the reorganization of the divisions in the 1st division of the 2nd district class - West Saxony group. From June 1, 1939, the club played as Reichsbahn SG Zwickau until it was promoted to 1st class for the first time after the 1941/42 season. The last game of the Reichsbahn SG Zwickau before the end of the Second World War probably took place in October 1944.
March 11, 1947 stands for the re-establishment of the Zwickau Railway Association as a sports group of the Reichsbahn Zwickau and felt committed to both popular and competitive sports from the start. Initially, the sports field on Bürgerschachtstraße remained the home of the footballers, before the sports field on the "Hochwarthe" in Zwickau-Brand became the new domicile in early 1950 as part of an exchange contract with the city of Zwickau . Through the nationwide establishment of the company sports associations (BSG), the BSG Reichsbahn Zwickau was established in 1949 with the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk (RAW) as the sponsoring company. On June 6, 1950, what was then the Lokomotive sports association was founded. The company sports community Lokomotive Zwickau was formed from the company sports group Reichsbahn. Like many teams from the Lokomotive sports association, the BSG competed in traditional black and red. In 1962 Lok Zwickau was promoted to the third-class district league Karl-Marx-Stadt for the first time , in which the Zwickau team immediately reached the runner-up behind activist “Grube Deutschland” Oelsnitz . In the following period, the team was active with intermittent interruptions until 1990 in the third-highest division of the GDR, but missed the direct qualification for the newly founded Landesliga Sachsen . Subsequently, the club, now renamed ESV Lok, sank into the lowlands of local West Saxon football. After relegation from the regional league in 2001, the railway workers only managed to return to the regional league of Saxony West, today's state class, twelve years later (2013) .
The multi-disciplinary association with 15 departments currently has a total of 2339 members.
