history
The roots of the association go back to 1919. On April 1st of that year, football-loving workers from the Piesteritz nitrogen works founded the 1. FC Wacker Piesteritz. However, the club suffered from a lack of members in the following years and so in 1924 it merged with TSV Piesteritz to form the Association for Lawn Sports (VfR). As part of the NSDAP- controlled sports operation, the VfR was merged with other sports clubs for the gymnastics and sports movement (TSB) Piesteritz in 1933. Its soccer team rose to the second highest German soccer class in 1938.
In 1946 the association was dissolved at the instigation of the Soviet occupying power. After that, sports competitions were only possible at the local level in loosely organized sports communities. After the introduction of the system of company sports associations , the Piesteritz nitrogen works and the rubber works founded the BSG Chemie Piesteritz on May 13, 1949. She offered a wide range of sports including a. Football, handball, boxing, table tennis, gymnastics, cycling and canoeing. In 1985 the BSG had 2970 members. In the early days, table tennis athletes made the BSG known nationwide by winning the GDR men's championship in 1950 and luge athlete Walter Feist with the 1951 GDR championship. While the handball men temporarily played in the highest GDR handball class, the soccer players did not get beyond the third division.
After German reunification and the associated economic changes, there was no longer any economic basis for the company sports associations. Members of the BSG Chemie then founded the SV Grün-Weiß Wittenberg-Piesteritz in June 1990 with the sports departments football, handball, swimming, gymnastics and judo / karate. In the summer of 2001, the football department left the club and on July 16, 2001 founded their own club, FC Grün-Weiß Piesteritz.
