The soccer sports club Sömmerda is a sports club in the northwest Thuringian town of Sömmerda .

history

Establishment of the company sports association Motor

In 1911, the sports fans Rohrmann and Hahn, with ball sports enthusiasts from Sömmerda, founded the "Association for Movement Games" (VfB) Sömmerda, which was a member of the "Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs". After the Second World War, all clubs, including sports clubs, were banned at the instigation of the Soviet occupying forces. This also affected VfB Sömmerda in the industrial city near Erfurt . From 1946, competitive sports were only allowed to be practiced in loosely organized sports groups in a regionally limited manner. Former VfB members then founded the Sömmerda sports club in 1946. In 1948 the SG soccer team reached the semifinals of the Thuringia Championship and thus qualified for the 1st Eastern Zone Championship . There the team was already defeated in the elimination round against the Saxony-Anhalt representative Sportfreunde Burg . At the beginning of the 1948/49 season, the Rheinmetall machine works located in Sömmerda took over the promotion of the sports community, which now appeared under the name SG Rheinmetall. Until the dissolution of the East German states in favor of new GDR districts, the soccer team played in the regional class or regional league Thuringia, from 1952/53 in the Erfurt regional league. As early as 1950, the sports community under the new GDR sports system was transformed into a company sports community (BSG) , which was called "Mechanik" and from 1951 "Motor".

After the placements 2, 8 and 3 in the district league, the BSG was 1956 district champion and winner of the promotion round to the third class II. GDR league . In the first year of the new league, the Sömmerdaer came in 11th place in the 14th field of their season and, with the later top division player from Turbine Erfurt Erwin Seifert, put the season top scorer with 15 hits. After a 3rd and a further 11th place, the motor team was only bottom of the table in the 1960 season and had to return to the district league. Because of the dissolution of the second GDR league in 1963, a 10th place in the district league was no longer sufficient, so that a further descent had to be accepted. 1964 succeeded again the promotion in the district league, after the new division of leagues now third class. Here it was only enough to place in the midfield for five years before the district championship could be fought again in 1970. In the subsequent round of promotion to the GDR league , however, it was only enough for 5th place, so the 1970/71 season had to be spent in the district league. After the renewed regional championship, the team immediately qualified for the GDR league, as this had now been increased to five seasons. The team started the new season under the new coach Helmut Nordhaus and with the new name BSG Zentronik, corresponding to the new name of the sponsoring company . Since a cooperation agreement had meanwhile been concluded with the neighboring upper division club Rot-Weiß Erfurt , experienced upper division players came to Sömmerda (e.g. Rainer Knobloch , Horst Kiesewetter , Gerd Stieler ), who let their careers end here but gave the team so much substance, that she was able to stay in the second highest soccer class until 1979. With these players, Sömmerda reached their best position to date in the 1975/76 season with fourth place in the GDR league.

With a penultimate place at the end of the 1978/79 season, however, had to start again in the third division. In 1978 the BSG was renamed again and now started as Robotron Sömmerda. It took four years before Sömmerda was able to qualify again for the GDR league in 1983 as district champion in Erfurt. At that time the second highest soccer league consisted of five squadrons of 12 teams each, and so it was easy to assert oneself as a newcomer with 4th place. This placement was also sufficient to qualify for the GDR League 1984/85, which was reduced to two seasons. In the new 18 field, however, the substance was not enough, and after a last place the relegation to the district league followed. The prompt district championship in 1986 no longer automatically led to the GDR league, but rather a promotion round had to be completed in which Robotron failed as 3rd. A year later, the Sömmerdaer made it better and rose after a 2nd place in the promotion round back on in the GDR league. This time the forces were sufficient to keep the class until the end of the GDR soccer game in 1990.

In the " Eternal Table of the GDR League " Zentronik Sömmerda occupies 42nd place.

FSV Sömmerda

Due to the radical changes in the East German economic system as a result of the political change in 1989 , the company sports association was no longer financially supported by its sponsoring company. As a result, the soccer sports club Robotron Sömmerda was founded in 1990 based on the previous sponsor, the name of which was changed to Soemtron a short time later. After the former office machine factory was finally liquidated, the association gave itself the name FSV Sömmerda, which is still valid today.

With the start of the DFB game operations in East Germany, the FSV was incorporated into the second division of the Northeast German Football Association (NOFV League) in 1990 , but had to relegate to the Thuringia League in 1992 after a 15th place. This division could only be held until 1994, after which the Sömmerdaer disappeared in the lowlands of Thuringian football. From 1998 to 2009 the FSV played consistently in the Thuringia regional class. In 2009 the team was relegated to the Season 6 district league in order to celebrate the direct return to the national class, the 7th division in the DFB game operations, in the following year. In the 2010/2011 season, the class could be held with 10th place. For the 2011/2012 season, the team was rejuvenated to an average age of 23 years. At the end of the 2011/12 season, the FSV finished 11th in the national class north.
