SV Fortuna Leipzig was founded in 1902 as FC Fortuna Leipzig . In 1904 FC Hohenzollern Sellerhausen joined , and from 1920 the club operated under the name SV Fortuna Leipzig . Fortuna had been one of the leading football clubs in Saxony since the 1920s. In the season 1925/26 Fortuna Leipzig reached after victories against, among others, the Riesaer SV and the Chemnitzer Ballspielclub the final of the Central German Championship , which was lost against the favored Dresdner SC with 0: 3.

By winning 8-0 against FC Preussen Chemnitz , Fortuna qualified for the finals of the German championship in 1925/26 that same year . In the stadium of local rivals Wacker Leipzig , the Saxons prevailed in the round of 16 against FC Bayern Munich with a 2-0 victory, but were defeated by Hamburger SV 2: 6 in the quarter-finals .

In the Gauliga Sachsen created in 1933 , the people of Leipzig were permanently represented from 1934 until it was dissolved in 1945. The best placement was the second place in the season 1937/38, in which one could leave the favorites Police SV Chemnitz behind, but only came in behind the same point surprise champion BC Hartha .

In 1945 Fortuna Leipzig joined SV Tapfer Leipzig briefly as KSG Fortuna / Tapfer Leipzig . After the end of the war, the association was dissolved and re-established as SG Paunsdorf . In terms of sport, Paunsdorf could no longer match the prewar performance. In the Leipzig league with 3 seasons, there was immediate relegation. After promotion, the 8th place meant relegation. When the reorganization of the performance classes in Leipzig a. Saxony came the successors of Fortuna played no role u. in the district class. Even in the period that followed, the company was renamed again, in 1948 in RAW Transport Police Leipzig and from 1949 in RAW Polygraph Leipzig . In 1950 another name change was made to BSG Lokomotive Ost Leipzig . initially continued to play in the 1st district class. In terms of sport, Lok Ost Leipzig rose from the Leipzig district class to the district league in 1956. From this, too, he was immediately promoted to the 2nd GDR League . From what was then the third-highest division, the Leipzig team had to relegate after only one season. In 1962 Lok Ost rose again to the 2nd GDR League. At the end of the season, the railroaders finished 11th, which a year earlier would have meant relegation. Due to another league reform in GDR football - the 2nd GDR league was dissolved - the kickers from Paunsdorf had to fight for points again in the district league in the following season. After several years of the district league, the Leipzigers rose to the GDR league for the first time in 1971 together with Vorwärts Leipzig . National football again proved to be too big for Lok Ost and the club, together with Chemie Buna Schkopau, returned to the third division.

1974 Lok Ost reported back in high-class football for the last time. After the renewed promotion was achieved before the second representation from BSG Chemie Leipzig , relegation could not be realized this time either. The club then disappeared into oblivion. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the people of Leipzig took their historical name Fortuna again . Since then, Fortuna has always tried in vain for promotion to the State League of Saxony . After relegation from the district league in the 2006/07 season, Fortuna Leipzig played in the district class until the end of the 2010/11 season. Meanwhile only in the city league Leipzig on the ball, Fortuna was again on a relegation place after the first half of the 2011/12 season, but was able to hold the class after the second half with a 13th place.
