Kickers 94 Markkleeberg ( proper spelling : KICKERS94 Markkleeberg ) is a Saxon football club from Markkleeberg in the district of Leipzig .
Development of football in Markkleeberg
SG / BSG Medicine
In the time before the Second World War, football played no significant role in Markkleeberg. When sport had to be reorganized after the end of the war in East Germany due to the ban on clubs, athletes founded the “Sportgemeinschaft Markkleeberg” in the city just outside Leipzig in July 1945. The soccer team initially took part in the Leipzig City League and rose in the following years to the Landesliga Sachsen, which was the third highest division in East German soccer until 1952. After the introduction of the GDR districts instead of the previous East German states, the SG Markkleeberg was incorporated into the Leipzig district league .
Until 1955, the sports community without a sponsoring company was a special case in the GDR sports structure, which was usually organized into company sports associations (BSG). It was not until February 1955 that the SG was converted into the BSG Medizin Markkleeberg. Despite the new sponsoring company, at the end of the 1955 season the soccer team had to relegate to the fifth-class Leipzig district class.
BSG activist / TSG chemistry
Four years later, on June 30, 1959, the BSG activist Markkleeberg was founded with the economically strong coal refining plant Böhlen as a carrier company. In 1968 the group of sponsoring companies was expanded and the BSG was converted into TSG Chemie Markkleeberg. After many years in the Leipzig-Land district league, he was promoted to the Leipzig district class in 1971, which after restructuring in GDR football had meanwhile been upgraded to the 4th league. Here TSG met local rivals BSG Medicine, with whom they played in the district class until 1977. Then they parted ways. While the BSG Medicine was relegated to the district class, TSG Chemie had succeeded in advancing to the third-class Leipzig district league. TSG Chemie quickly developed into a top team in the district league. After previously three second places, the team won the district championship in 1982 and qualified for the second-rate GDR league . There she became a reservoir for former league players, so that Chemie Markkleeberg could secure relegation until the end of the GDR soccer game. In 1986, TSG had dropped the addition of "chemistry" because the structure of the sponsoring companies had changed again in the meantime. In the 1983/84 season, TSG reached their best placement with rank 5 in the league season C. Coach Karl Bühler was able to rely on the following team:
Joachim Niklasch (22 games, 30 years) |
Uwe Neumann (15/25) |
Gunter Sekora (22/33), Frank Matychowiak (22/30), Frank Mulanski (22/30) |
Holger Wacker (18/23), Joachim Kirste (17/31), Wolfgang Lischke (21/36) |
Peter Englisch (8/21), Wilfried Erler (19/37), Rainer Srodecki (20/27) |
The team had the astonishingly high average age of 29.4 years, yet seven players completed 90 percent of all matches. In TSG's most successful year, an average of 1,700 visitors came to the sports field on the Lauer with a capacity of 6,000. This had to give way to the open-cast lignite mine in 1989 and was located roughly where the north beach of the Cospudener See is today.
GDR league player in Markkleeberg
The most prominent Markkleeberg football player of the GDR era is the 46-time national goalkeeper René Müller , who began his career with the BSG activist in 1965 as a teenager. In 1970 he went to 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , where he played 264 league games until 1990.
TSG Markkleeberg owes its eight-year stay in the second highest GDR soccer class to the fact that players from the neighboring league teams kept coming to Markkleeberg. In the following list of former league players who ended their football career in Markkleeberg, only players are named who have played more than 20 league games. There were also other players who were only used briefly in the top division.

Post-turnaround time
With the economic changes in the wake of the political turnaround of 1989 , the sports funding of the local economy collapsed, the previous company sports associations had to reorganize according to the federal German association law . The members of the soccer section of the previous TSG Markkleeberg then founded 1. FC Markkleeberg on June 30, 1990. Due to its previous GDR league membership, the FC was incorporated into the renamed league of the Northeast German Football Association , which had the status of second division for one season in the reunited Federal Republic. In 1991, as a member of the NOFV league that had not been promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga, the club was incorporated into the newly founded third-class Oberliga Nordost , just like the members of the recently first-class NOFV Oberliga . The Markkleeberger played there until the 1993/94 season. For one season (1991/92) Frank Rost , later Bundesliga professional ( Werder Bremen , FC Schalke 04 , Hamburger SV ) and four-time national player, was in the goal of 1. FC. Within three years the association piled up a mountain of debt of 700,000 DM and had to file for bankruptcy in the spring of 1994 because the city did not want to take over the liabilities . With the deletion in the club register, 1. FC Markkleeberg ceased to exist.
Kickers 94 Markkleeberg e. V.
After the downfall of 1. FC, the first men's team dissolved completely. In order to catch up with the youth teams, a new club called "Kickers 94 Markkleeberg" was founded on June 21, 1994. In agreement with the Leipzig Football Association, the Kickers could start with a men's team in the 1st district class in Leipzig in the 1994/95 season, while the eight youth teams that remained were able to continue playing in their previous league. The men's team developed continuously and in 1999 reached the Leipzig District League (6th league). With their coach Frank Baum , a 17-time GDR national player, the team was promoted to the State League of Saxony in 2002 . With the new coach Dieter Kühn , also a GDR national player (13 missions), the class was held successfully.
The kickers or the forerunner club have been playing in the Camillo Ugi sports park since 1989 , which was called the Central Sports Park until 2006, was then named after the exceptional football player of the early 20th century and has a capacity of 6000 spectators. The record attendance dates back to April 18, 1993, when 7,000 spectators found their way to the sports park for the game 1. FC Markkleeberg - FC Sachsen Leipzig (0-0).
