Fermersleber SV 1895
The Fermersleber SV 1895 is an in Magdeburg district Fermersleben -based sports club. Members of the association are active in a large number of departments. The club's tradition in handball is particularly important . The club played in the 2nd indoor handball Bundesliga for several years. In 1949 the club was East Zone Master in field handball . At times the club was the third largest sports community in the GDR .
history
The club was founded in 1895 as the Freie Turnerschaft Magdeburg Süd-Ost . Other sports clubs later joined the club. So the gymnastics club Fichte Buckau , Vorwärts Fermersleben , Free Water Sports Buckau Fermersleben , Magdeburg Ball Game Club and the heavy athletes "Adler" . Due to the proximity to large industrial companies, the FSV was a focus of the workers' gymnastics and sports movement in 1895. Operated were gymnastics and aerobics , racquetball , Raffball , Fistball and handball as well as fencing, rowing, sailing, swimming and athletics were early to the existing club in the departments.
The seat of the association and central sports facility became the site of the former Fort I in the 1920s , which is now the place of friendship in the north of Fermersleben. Many volunteers had built the first sports facility there in 1922/23. The dominant sport was field handball. At first, Raffball , a forerunner of modern handball, was played on the Fermersleber parish square . The sporting highlight is the final of the German Federal Field Handball Championship of the Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Association in 1928, in which Vorwärts Fermersleben lost 2: 4 to Ottakring Vienna .
With the seizure of power by the National Socialists , the Fermersleber associations were also subject to synchronization . In particular, the workers' sports clubs were dissolved, including the ATV Vorwärts Magdeburg-Fermersleben . In Fermersleben there was then MTV Fermersleben and the Fermersleben sports club , which, however, merged before the Second World War . The sports facilities suffered serious damage during the war. The sports facilities at Fort I had initially served as a prisoner of war camp and had been affected by bombs and grenades in the final weeks of the war. After the war, the destroyed sports facilities were rebuilt. With the approval of the Soviet commander, a municipal sports group, Sportfreunde Fermersleben, was able to resume sports operations. In 1948 the BSG Diesel Magdeburg was founded in Fermersleben as a company sports association of the Buckau R. Wolf machine factory . During this time, the Fort I sports field was also renamed the Friendship Square . Outstanding sporting success in the post-war period was the win of the state championship Saxony-Anhalt and the east zone championship in field handball by Diesel Magdeburg in 1949. The east zone championship was achieved with a 15: 7 victory in the final at Gera-Untermhaus. At that time, field handball was a sport in the center of public interest alongside soccer. In particular, the handball players were able to build on their old successes, while athletics, which had been practiced since the beginning of the club's history, remained committed to popular sports. A cycling department was formed in 1947, which was devoted to cycling as well as cycling .
1950 was BSG diesel Magdeburg to BSG Stahl Magdeburg South renamed to naming the usual names conform to the relevant trade union sports association. In order to better match the production profile of the carrier company, which has since been renamed Heavy Machinery Karl Liebknecht , the BSG Stahl Süd was taken over into the Motor Sports Association, with which the new name BSG Motor Fermersleben (battle cry: "Don't you hear the earth shake? Now comes Motor Fermersleben!" ) was used.
In 1953, the motorsport section and a gym wheel group were formed. In 1955 a billiards department was founded , which at times played in the 2nd GDR league. On December 13, 1957, Motor Magdeburg , the company sports association of the Karl-Marx-Werk and Motor Fermersleben , united to form the BSG Motor Magdeburg Süd-Ost by resolution of a plenary meeting of 550 people in the Maxim-Gorki-Kultursaal of the Karl-Marx-Werk (MSO). Initially this unified BSG had 1740 members. There were 21 sections: fishing, billiards, ice hockey, fistball, badminton, football, gymnastics / gymnastics, handball, judo, canoeing, bowling, cycling, rowing, chess, heavy athletics, swimming, sailing, tennis, table tennis, tourism and winter sports. In 1960 the number had risen to 1902, four years later to 2,439. As is typical for the GDR sports structure, the company sports associations had to delegate their best athletes to the central sports clubs, which, however, also aroused reluctance and resistance from the BSG members and coaches. The rowers delegated their entire racing team to SC Magdeburg . The same was true of the boxers. Swimmers and water polo players were delegated to SC Dynamo Magdeburg , canoeists and judokas were delegated to Berlin, Potsdam, Leipzig and Frankfurt / Oder.
In 1958 the badminton department was founded. The orienteering group achieved fourth place in the GDR championships in 1961. The sailing department inaugurated the newly built Fermersleben port in 1960 . The volleyball department was created in 1964 from a sports group at the Karl Marx factory. In 1967 the table tennis department, which had existed in principle since the 1950s, was rebuilt.
In the same year, the old Stillers Saal sports hall in Fermersleben was renovated and reopened by the association.
The football department can look back on a long tradition, but it has only ever achieved success in a regional context. In 1982 he was promoted to the then district league. The bowling department was founded in 1969, and this sport had been practiced since the club's early days. In September 1974 the club's bowling hall was opened, which was then fundamentally modernized in the 1990s. The hall was initially named the 25th anniversary of the GDR . The number of members of the BSG at the end of 1975 was 3230 people. On May 27, 1978, the multi-purpose hall was inaugurated on the Platz der Freunds. Association members had provided 35,000 hours of voluntary work. Financing was provided by the four sponsoring companies belonging to the association. In addition to the SKL and the Karl-Marx-Werk, this now also includes the Erich-Weinert-Werk in Buckau and the Wilhelm Pieck steel foundry in Rothensee with a total of around 20,000 employees. At the end of the 1970s, the DTSB Presidium, contrary to the previous tendency, recommended that each of the sponsoring companies establish its own company sports association. In order to implement the new line, the BSG Meßtron was founded on September 27, 1979 as a company sports association of the Erich Weinert measuring device factory. The Weinert plant was thus eliminated as a sponsoring company for Motor Magdeburg Südost. Nevertheless, the number of members rose to 4,225 at the end of 1981. There were 341 trainers and 248 referees. In 1982 the BSG Motor Magdeburg Südost was the third largest sports community in the GDR with 4514 members. On September 25, 1982, BSG Stahl Nord Magdeburg was founded for the Wilhelm Pieck steel foundry . The Rothenseers no longer belonged to Motor Südost. In 1986 the membership reached 4828 people.
By 1990, the club's athletes had won 400 GDR championship titles. In the field of canoeing and judo , gold was achieved once and bronze twice at the Olympic Games . On July 16, 1990, BSG Motor Magdeburg Süd-Ost was renamed FSV 1895 eV . In the mid-1990s, 22 sports were played in the club. Volker-Michael Anton became famous as an international grandmaster in correspondence chess . In 1994 he won the Vice World Cup title. In 1993 the senior gymnastics department was formed.
Departments
In 1995 there were 22 departments in the FSV: badminton, billiards, soccer, weightlifting, handball, judo, canoeing, bowling, weight training, athletics, orienteering, cycling, chess, swimming, sailing, senior gymnastics, tennis, table tennis, gymnastics / gymnastics, volleyball, hiking and winter sports.
The following departments should be mentioned in a special way:
Soccer
The football department is a traditional division of the club, but was only able to achieve success in a regional context. In 1982 the team, which started under the name Motor Südost Magdeburg, was promoted to the then regional league. In the first season they finished there as well as in 1983/84 seventh place. In 1985, Motor had to relegate as 15th due to a goal difference that was three goals less than its competitor, Einheit Burg. 1986 succeeded the promotion, whereby the season as well as the following one was finished in sixth. In 1989 they came third, in 1990 fourth. Despite this top position, the newly founded Fermersleber SV 1895 no longer took the right to start in the district league in the following season. In 2013, the first team of the club plays in the Magdeburg municipal league.
Weightlifting
After the end of the war, as early as 1946, Otto Schmerder (1906–1986) from Magdeburg gathered various age groups around him and began to build up weightlifting in Magdeburg with a system and method. Otto Schmerder, honored as Honored Master of Sports . was head of the weightlifting section from 1957 to 1979. He can be described as the father of weightlifting in Magdeburg. Then athletes like Reiner Bode successfully led the section. In the first level of support in young talent, trainer Manfred Simon led the children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 13 in the training center (TZ). Particularly talented young athletes were then delegated to a children's and youth sports school (KJS). In the 1970s and 1980s, the club's weightlifters counted up to 283 active members, making them the largest section of the GDR weightlifting association . The Magdeburg weightlifters were vice-GDR team champions four times. Well-known weightlifters are Dieter Rauscher (three times GDR champion, from 1964 six times German champion and Olympic participant in the FRG), Wolfgang Zander (1972 EC bronze medal), Frank Zielecke (world champion 1973), Werner Baumeister , later GDR trainer and person in charge at DGV of the GDR and Martin Moreno (1991 World Cup bronze). Athletes in the department achieved 149 GDR championship titles. The six-time GDR master and master of sports Dieter Schluricke was particularly successful here . From 1991 to 2008 the weightlifting team was active in the 2nd Bundesliga. Since then, the state league of Saxony-Anhalt has been raised. In the recent history of the club, Swen Friese was able to become German, European and world champions in one year of competition at the Masters.
Weight training
The FSV's most successful strength athlete in GDR times was ten-time GDR champion Manfred Machus . In 1988, the FSV team (at that time still Motor Magdeburg-Südost) achieved 3rd place in the GDR power sports league. Among the strength athletes, Burkhard Steffen stood out in powerlifting , who after 1990 became multiple German, European and world champions in the masters class.
Handball
After the successes during the Weimar Republic , handball was also able to enjoy national success after the Second World War. In 1949 they became field handball champions in the final against Gera . This was followed in 1950 by the title of GDR runner-up. In 1951 third place and the win of the steel cup against Fraureuth could be achieved. At that time, the club also provided two players from the GDR national team, Herbert Wahrendorf and Karlheinz Muhß . For some time they continued to play in the GDR upper league. After delegations of players to the SCM and to Berlin, the club was relegated. 1963 succeeded in rising again. Well-known names in the 1950s / 60s were the later delegated national players Dieter Bernhard and Hans Haberhauffe . With the trend away from field handball towards indoor handball, the structure also changed in Fermersleben. In November 1976, what was then Motor Magdeburg Süd-Ost merged with the handball players from Lok Südost to form the Lok / Motor Süd-Ost syndicate . Lok Süd-Ost also looked back on successes in handball and in 1963 was GDR champion in indoor handball. From 1979 the syndicate played in the GDR league, the second highest league. 1983/84 and 1987/88 they even played in the league as the top division. After German reunification , they played in the 2nd Bundesliga until 1994. The greatest success in women's handball was in 1980/81 participation in the GDR league. In 1992 Helmut Kurrat became the club's trainer. Michael Jahns , Steffen Coßbau , Ronny Liesche (1998-2000) and from 1997 to 2005 Patrick Schulz were among the better-known players in the club's recent history .
Judo
The judo department was founded in 1957 after a section had existed since 1949. With athletes like Helmut Howiller , Wolfgang Micka , Winfried Benkel , Bernd Hecht , Wolf-Dieter Hainke and Bernd Köhler , more than 100 medals were achieved in national championships. Since 1957 the judo team of the club fought in the GDR Oberliga and several times reached third place, in 1962 and 1964 even second place. Outstanding name at this time was Reiner Straube , who later still worked as a department head . The Judo section was a center of excellence of the German Judo Association and in 1970 received the first judo hall on the Platz der Freunde, which was destroyed by arson in 1979 . On December 13, 1982, the new judo hall, which had been rebuilt in a larger version, was inaugurated. In 1980 the Judokas won the bronze medal at the GDR team championships.
canoe
Some of these activities went back to the tradition of the Buckau-Fermersleben water sports club founded in 1911 and forcibly dissolved in 1946 . In 1948 the sport could be resumed. Since the beginning of the 1950s, the Fermersleber canoeists were among the national leaders in the GDR and achieved various championship titles in both women and men. Well-known names at that time were Wilfried Bust , Udo Cohrs , Arnold Kahler , Rolf Leue , Sigrid Leue , Gerhard Hölzke and Klaus Liebetraut . Various competition and training facilities were built in-house, including the Fermersleben harbor . The union of Motor Fermersleben and the Buckauer BSG Motor Magdeburg met with skepticism, especially among the Buckauer rowers.
With Jürgen Eschert there was also an Olympic champion in the single canoe in 1964 , who had previously been active in the club. Eckhard Leue , delegated to the SCM, achieved an Olympic bronze medal in this discipline in 1980. Other outstanding athletes in the department were Rolf Blume , Dietmar Grupe and Patrick Schulze . Wolfgang Kopplin , Marion Grupe and Dieter Lichtenberg took part in the Olympic Games in Munich as SCM delegates. In the mid-1970s the association became a district training center, in which a continuous screening of talents took place, who were then delegated to the SC Magdeburg during the GDR era . However, this practice had a detrimental effect on club life.
The approximately 60 members of the canoe department (as of 1995) trained on the Salbker See II and the Elbe in the summer . The club was also active in the field of canoe marathon racing. In 2000, the sailing and canoeing department became independent again under its old name, Buckau-Fermersleben .
rowing
In Buckau at the beginning of 1946, on the site of the previous rowing association Alt-Werder Magdeburg near the Sülze estuary, a rowing group was formed, mainly from members of the destroyed rowing clubs, which soon celebrated successes in regattas. As early as 1949, the Eastern Zone Championship was held in Magdeburg in front of 8,000 spectators. In the early 1950s the rowers celebrated several GDR championship titles and in 1957 the German championship title in the men's lightweight eighth in Berlin. In 1958 the BSG had to delegate their top athletes to the establishment of the rowing section to the Sports Club Aufbau Magdeburg . Only the women started for “Motor”. After the delegation, racing rowing in the section gradually came to a virtual standstill. From then on, popular rowing and touring rowing played the main role in club life.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the rowing section made a fresh start in the field of racing. In 1972, with greater effort (two, sometimes three trainers), attempts were made to achieve success or to make progress in this area in the rowing section. Except for minor successes in the female youth sector, the rowers remained without a win. The racing rowing training was taken over in 1973 by Jürgen Sternstein and Rainer Suhr and continued with a larger training group. Success came quickly. In the mid-1970s the section became a district training center. In the first level of support in young athletes, full-time trainers (Hans-Jürgen Herbrand (until 1987) and Olaf Wiedfeldt (1989/90)) led the children and adolescents aged 10 to 14 years. Particularly talented rowers were then delegated to a children's and youth sports school (KJS).
After the political change in 1989, the members of the rowing section re-founded the rowing association Alt-Werder Magdeburg 1887 on September 30, 1990 . But the new club was still de facto part of the former BSG, which had since been renamed the Fermersleber Sportverein (FSV). At the general meeting on March 6, 1991, a vote was taken on the rowers' exit from the FSV. Despite detailed advertising from the then FSV chairman Günter Hartmann and board member Reinhard Schütte, 29 members voted for the resignation, five were against.
chess
The chess department looked back on a long tradition. Harald Darius became vice-GDR champion in 1979, the team reached 4th place. In 1980, Darius was GDR master in blitz chess for the fourth time . Also in 1981/82 they played in team chess in the GDR Oberliga. A year later, the team won the GDR Cup. However, the high level of performance could not be maintained, in the next few years a descent into the district league followed. The most successful player is the international correspondence chess grandmaster Volker-Michael Anton . In 1980 he won the GDR correspondence chess cup. As a member of the GDR national team, he won the bronze medal in correspondence chess at the Xth Chess Olympiad. In 1992 he was appointed to the all-German national team. Another well-known player of the club was Peter Hesse . Several FSV teams took part in the competition, but only at the state level.
As of 1995, the department had 36 members. From August 1997 to July 2000 the department had more than 50 members, including 69 twice in July 1999 and July 2000. As of 2003, the department had only 10 members or fewer. It was not until 2005 that the number rose again to a maximum of 30. In July 2009 the department in the German Chess Federation was deregistered.
swim
The beginnings of the swimming department go back to 1910/11, when the water sports club Buckau-Fermersleben ( Waspo ) was active. Initially, the Michaelis bathing establishment on the Elbe was used. In 1921 a meadow was acquired at Elbe kilometer 322. This is where the first own boat and floating jetty was built. The increasing pollution of the Elbe meant that it was no longer usable for swimming in the 1950s. At first one avoided the Carl Miller outdoor pool and the outdoor pool in Reform . The water polo players switched to the Dynamo sports club and were East German champions 13 times. This group was led by Rolf Bastel , who was also known as the water polo national coach of the GDR.
In December 1990, all swimmers and the head of department switched to a large swimming club in Magdeburg in order to get better training opportunities. Nevertheless, a new swimming department was set up in the FSV in 1991, whereby the group initially only consisting of children consisted of non-swimmers.
sailing
The founding of the sailing department also goes back to 1911. During the Second World War, the boathouse, the so-called floating prahm, sank in the customs port . A boat shed was destroyed. In the post-war period, however, the department gained considerable popularity. In 1946 the prahm was sealed and pumped out by the fire brigade . The old boathouse was lifted, dragged to the Sülzehafen in Buckau and put back into operation. In 1954 the pram, which was in need of repair, was pulled ashore and placed on two-meter-high pillars. In 1959/1960 the port of Fermersleben was built at Katzenwerder with 60 berths for sports boats, a new boat shed, a boat shed and 40 boat garages. As early as 1960 there were 74 boats for 151 sailors, making it the largest group of this type in the Magdeburg district . A lake base with 100 berths and a large campsite was built in Kirchmöser near Brandenburg . In 1995 there were 312 members of the department. In 2000, however, the department formed its own association based in the port of Fermersleben.
tennis
Together with BSG Aufbau Börde , the club had formed a game community during the GDR that played on a system in Harsdorfer Strasse in Stadtfeld West and had 100 members. After the reunification , the players in the syndicate founded their own club and thus left the FSV. With the support of the well-known GDR tennis player Thomas Emmrich , however, the tennis department was continued on the three tennis courts that had just been completed on the Friendship Square in Fermersleben. Emmrich founded a private tennis school. In the 1990s a tennis air dome was built with two playing fields and a natural floor.
Table tennis
Table tennis has been played at Fermersleber SV since the early 1950s . In the 1990s one was represented up to the district league in the higher leagues in the Magdeburg game district. Then in 1999 there was a big break. Many left the department and they retired to the 2nd city class in Magdeburg. A new beginning began with only 15 adults. In 2000 it was then possible for the first time to start again with a school team and two men's teams. In 2005 the 1st team was promoted to 1st city class. For the first time you could look back on over 20 members. After the class could be held in the following season, they began to train using new training methods. In 2007, the “Stillers” sports hall in Fermersleben, used as a sports facility, was closed. The move to the Friendship Square followed. The association has had an active and successful youth department since 2009. Each season there is a youth and a school team at the start. With four men's teams and over 30 members, the new beginning was ultimately successful. In 2010 the first team managed to move up to the Magdeburg City League for the first time since 1999. The following year this class could not be held. However, the immediate resurgence succeeded. In 2012, the 1st team won the city championship, the biggest success since 1999. Associated with this was the promotion to the district, which was able to build on the successful times.
volleyball
The volleyball department was founded in 1964 and emerged from a sports community of the Karl Marx factory . In 1977 a women's team was founded, which soon dominated the department in terms of sport. In 1980/81 the rise in the GDR league was successful. After a descent in 1982, the ascent could already be achieved in 1983. After reunification, the first women's team played in the Regionalliga Nordost.
Winter sports
Even before the Second World War there was a ski club in Magdeburg which had a hut in the Alps and another in Hohegeiß in the western part of the Harz Mountains . From 1948 the Magdeburg skiers and ski jumpers joined together in the BSG Diesel von Buckau-Wolf. This department was largely supported by expellees from Silesia and the Sudetenland who also wanted to continue their sport in their new homeland, which is in the lowlands. In 1951/52 Heinz Kuhrüber and Ingelore Gotsch became GDR champions in ice dancing . In 1953 an ice hockey section was formed which was soon disbanded due to a lack of permanent training opportunities.
Athletes from other departments of the club used the winter activities as part of their preparation for the new season. Since the old ski huts were lost to the club, a new hut was built in Drei-Annen-Hohne in the East Harz. The second place of the FSV relay at the Saxony-Anhalt state championship was seen as sensational , in which the flat countries were able to prevail against the representatives from the Harz region. Several national championship titles could also be achieved in individual disciplines.
