The SV Guts Muts 1902 Dresden was a sports club from the Dresden district of Johannstadt . It was founded in 1902. After the Second World War , the association no longer existed, but is considered the predecessor of the 1951 newly founded BSG Turbine Dresden, which is now called SSV Turbine Dresden . The men's soccer team von Guts Muts took part in the final round of the German championship in 1923 as a Central German soccer champion. Between 1933 and 1941, the Dresden team played for several years in the top division, the Gauliga .
history
On May 8, 1902, students from the Gymnasium "Zum heiligen Kreuz" and gymnasts from the GutsMuths gymnastics club founded their own sports club. They chose the name Guts Muts to underline that their roots were in the gymnastics club. Blue and white were chosen as the club colors, as most of the founding school students wore a blue and white cap ribbon. The colors soon led to the club and its teams being referred to as "the lilies".
With the founding of the club, football matches began . After the First World War Guts Muts developed into the largest sports club in Saxony with around 1500 members in twelve departments; In addition to soccer, the offer included tennis , athletics , handball , swimming , boxing , paddling , gymnastics and hockey .
Guts Muts celebrated one of the greatest successes in 1923 when the soccer team became Central German soccer champions and took part in the final round of the German championship. However, the team lost in the quarter-finals to the eventual German champions Hamburger SV on May 13, 1923 in the Altona 93 stadium in Altona in front of 20,000 spectators with 0-2.
A few months later there was a friendly match against the Dutch top club Blauw Wit Amsterdam , which Guts Muts won 3-2, at the opening of the sports field at the Velodrome in Reick . The club has now become one of the strongest clubs in Saxony alongside the Dresdner SC . Internationally, there were other friendly games against teams such as the Bolton Wanderers , Slavia Prague , Boldklub 1876 Copenhagen , Galatasaray Constantinople or the Egyptian Olympic team .
With the reorganization of the football associations and classes at the beginning of National Socialism, Guts Muts Dresden played in what was then the strongest division in Germany, the Gauliga Sachsen . At the beginning of the Second World War, several regular players were drafted into the Wehrmacht in the 1939/40 season ; as a result, the high level of play in the Gauliga could no longer be maintained, and Guts Muts was relegated. In 1940/41, the club managed to return to the top division, but to relegate again immediately.
In the last game as SV Guts Muts on December 17, 1944, the "Lilien" lost to local rivals Dresdner SC with 0: 1.
The successor club SSV Turbine Dresden still plays football on the former Guts Muts sports field on Pfotenhauerstraße in Dresden, but at the regional league level .
