The FC Grün-Weiß Wolfen was a football club in the industrial city of Bitterfeld-Wolfen in the south of Saxony-Anhalt .
history
From ball game club to company sports community
After the Agfa film factory was founded in Wolfen in 1909 , the city experienced rapid growth, which after the First World War also resulted in the establishment of the Wolfen Ball Game Club. He later called himself VfL Wolfen and IG Farben Sportverein. When all sports clubs had to be dissolved after 1945 and sport was reorganized in so-called company sports associations (BSG) in East Germany , the Agfa factory founded BSG Chemie Agfa Wolfen on December 15, 1948. Especially the soccer section made the BSG known throughout the GDR.
Football in the GDR
The Wolfen soccer team rose in 1950 to the Saxony-Anhalt state soccer class , at that time the third highest division in GDR soccer. In their first regional league season , the team came in a respectable sixth place, and just a year later Wolfen became regional champion Saxony-Anhalt. BSG Chemie thus qualified for the GDR league . In the second highest GDR league, the chemists were able to hold out until 1964, without the addition of Agfa from 1957. The 1963/64 season ended with 16th and last place, which meant relegation to the Halle district league . In 1966 the district championship was missed 0-0 and 0-1 against Motor Ammendorf , but two years later it was enough for the championship. In the subsequent round of promotion, Chemie Wolfen took 2nd place and qualified again for the GDR league. After a 3rd place in the 1970/71 season, Wolfen seemed to have established itself again in the second division, but then the ban beam of the GDR football association hit the BSG. Because of the inadmissible poaching of players and "unauthorized financial contributions", the soccer team was downgraded to the district league. Although the team managed to get promoted again immediately, they did not get past a 10th and 1974 11th place and found themselves again in the district league for the 1974/75 season. Between 1977 and 1981 followed another four years in the GDR league, then another year in the district league and between 1982 and 1985 another three second-rate league years. In the 1983/84 season, Chemie Wolfen had a good year, which ended with third place in the GDR league. At that time, coach Klaus Reissig offered the following team in the 22 league games:
Bernd Oelke (18 games, 33 years old) |
Karl-Heinz Hänel (19/32) |
Rainer Lodyga (18/32), Jörg Apitzsch (22/26), Ingo Riediger (20/24) |
Jörg Ellinger (22/21), Olaf Wawrzyniak (19/25), Gerhard Tietze (14/27) |
Uwe Seidel (21/28), Olaf Schaller (22/22), Uwe Nicksch (21/28) |
The successful season attracted an average of 1,600 spectators to the 10,000-seat stadium on Jahnstrasse. Chemie Wolfen ended the GDR soccer game in 1985 with another five years in the Halle district league. The team was again district champion in 1989, but missed the GDR league as 3rd in the promotion round.
In 1956, Chemie Wolfen came the furthest in the GDR Cup competition . In the round of 16, the team surprisingly won 2-1 at third place in the championship, SC Lokomotive Leipzig . Only in the quarterfinals came the cup after a 1: 2 home defeat against the 6th of the Oberliga ASK Vorwärts Berlin .
Another big cup success was the victory in the 2nd main round against the upper division Sachsenring Zwickau, which started on October 14, 1978 with GDR national goalkeeper Jürgen Croy in Wolfen. With a goal from Klaus Kaluza after preliminary work by Uwe Nicksch, the Wolfeners, supervised by Werner "Holdi" Welzel, won 1-0. In a Fuwo interview, Welzel named his goalkeeper Hans Eisenbarth and striker Peter Kubern as the main pillars of the team at the time.

FC green and white
With the economic changes as a result of the political change in 1989 , further sports funding by the film factory ceased. As a result, the company sports association was transformed into SG Chemie Wolfen. Four years later, the football department became independent and on January 21, 1994 founded FC Grün-Weiß Wolfen. The first men's team has played in the state / association league of Saxony-Anhalt since 1990 and was able to maintain this class (from 1994 5th league) also in the following years. Due to the financial support of the main sponsor Q-Cells , the only goal of FC Grün-Weiß Wolfen in the 2007/08 season was promotion to the Oberliga Nordost ; The goal was achieved four match days before the end of the season. After the promotion, a new management team was introduced with Rastislav Hodul and René Tretschok . Both are former Wolfen players, Hodul became head coach and Tretschok manager. After a bad start to the season with just one win out of eight games and after long-term injury-related failures, the Green-White officials decided to make a comeback for Tretschok. On the 9th match day against SSV Markranstädt , the former Bundesliga player was back on the field, but could not avert a 2-0 defeat. During the 2008/09 winter break, the team was in the table cellar. This could not be improved by the end of the season, so the relegation was sealed. Shortly before the end of the season, coach Hodul was replaced by assistant coach Lutz Weidner and goalkeeping coach Rene Block. In the summer of 2009, Tretschok finally said goodbye, who switched to Hertha BSC as a junior coach . He stayed with the club as an advisory board member. Torsten Rennert took over the coaching position for the 2009/10 season of the Association League. The first half of the 2010/11 season was led by coach Alexander Janke, who was already on leave before the start of the second half. As an interim solution, the previous co-trainer Lutz Weidner took over the supervision of the team again. Long-time goalkeeper René Block took over the position of head coach on July 1, 2011, while Lutz Weidner is again assistant coach. By winning the regional RBW Supercup, the new coaching duo achieved their first success in preparation.
insolvency
On November 29, 2011, FC Grün-Weiß Wolfen filed an application with the Dessau-Roßlau district court to open insolvency proceedings due to impending insolvency. As a result of the insolvency proceedings, the first team stopped playing and was the first to be relegated in the 2011/12 season of the association's league. The second team was also withdrawn from playing in the national class.
Women's soccer
In GDR times, the Wolfen women's football team was more successful than the men. She was one of the pioneers in GDR women's football. In the so-called determination of the best, carried out from 1979 onwards, the women from Wolfen were represented until 1982 and occupied places 4, 3, 2 and 5. However, Grün-Weiß Wolfen's former women's football team was only of regional importance.
