Lausitzer Füchse is the name of the professional ice hockey department of the parent club »Eissport Weißwasser e. V. «in Weißwasser (Upper Lusatia). The official name of the professional department is: "EHC" Lausitzer Füchse "Spielbetriebs-GmbH", while the teams of the parent club from the junior and women's area play under the name "Eissport Weißwasser".

The term "Lausitzer Füchse" is the generic term for legally different sports communities, clubs and gaming companies, which are closely related to one another in terms of sport, personnel and organization.

history

On December 15, 1932, the club “Ice Hockey Weißwasser” was founded in the Weißwasser Keglerheim by the boys playing ice hockey called “Jungs von der Osramstraße”. The initiator Martin Schulz was elected as the first chairman of the association. In 1936, the Weißwasser gymnastics and sports club took on the ice hockey community. In 1937, Weißwasser should take part in the preliminary round of the German championship, since the Silesian champion EV Hindenburg decided not to participate. These arrived at short notice, so playoffs were scheduled. The game against the Hindenburg was just lost. As early as 1938 there was the first national title; As TSV Weißwasser, the club becomes Silesian champions after a 2-1 final victory over EV Hindenburg (now Zabrze / Poland ) . At the German Championships in 1941 and 1942, TSV Weißwasser took part in the preliminary round as the Silesian champion, but retired without a win. In the following years no more championships could take place. The new beginning after the Second World War took place in 1946 with natural ice games on the brown pond . Four years later, the open-air stadium was inaugurated with a goalless draw against SG Frankenhausen . In 1951 the first GDR master's title was won as Ostglas Weißwasser and over the next two years as BSG Chemie .

Today's association was created in 1953 through the merger of the "BSG Ostglas Weißwasser" (founded in 1950) and the BSG Chemie Weißwasser (founded in 1952) to form the "SG Dynamo Weißwasser". Under these designations, Weißwasser was 25 times German champion of the GDR from 1951 to 1990 .

Youngsters from Dynamo Weißwasser (1988)

After the reunification in the GDR, the club was renamed the Police Ice Hockey Club on June 8, 1990, mainly at the request of Weißwasser's director Rüdiger Noack from Dynamo Weißwasser, because he believed that the "inherent bad reputation Dynamos [..] as Police and Stasi sports organization ” . The Berlin director Dieter Waschitowitz , citing the great successes associated with this name, rejected a similar renaming campaign for SC Dynamo Berlin . After the German Ice Hockey Association of the GDR was founded by splitting off from the German Ice Skating Association , a surprising decision was made during the Association Day of the German Ice Hockey Association (DEB) on May 11, 1990. Since the representatives of the 2nd Bundesliga did not decide on the application for membership of the clubs from Weißwasser and East Berlin in the 2nd Bundesliga, the board of the 1st Bundesliga made short work of it and decided to join the 1st Bundesliga. Together with EHC Dynamo Berlin , PEV Weißwasser took part in the ice hockey Bundesliga in the 1990/91 season . During this time, the mascot of the Weißwasseraner, the fox, was included in the club's logo.

The relegation to the 2nd division could be prevented in the play-downs of the first season against the former permanent rivals Dynamo Berlin . Since it was foreseeable that the Ministry of the Interior of the GDR would no longer pay the salaries in the near future, the club was renamed again after the season on August 8, 1991 and was henceforth Eissport Weißwasser e. V. In the 1991/92 season , relegation could only be prevented at the green table due to Eintracht Frankfurt's withdrawal from the league. In the 1992/93 season, he was relegated to the 2nd ice hockey Bundesliga .

As seventh in the 2nd Bundesliga 1993/94, the Füchse were qualified for the first DEL season in 1994/95 , but for financial reasons they formed a syndicate with EV Chemnitz , where they played under the name "ESG Füchse Sachsen Weißwasser / Chemnitz". As a result, most games were still held in Weißwasser, but every fourth home game was held in Chemnitz .

In 1996, however, this syndicate ended and Weißwasser withdrew from the DEL for financial reasons and subsequently played in the 2nd Bundesliga. In 2002 the Spielbetriebs-GmbH had to file for bankruptcy, but after the re-establishment of the professional department as "EHC Lausitzer Füchse" Spielbetriebs GmbH, gaming operations continued. In 2004, after some discussion, the idea of ​​returning to the club name "Dynamo Weißwasser" was rejected.

The Weißwasser ice rink - until 2013 the home stadium of the Lausitzer Füchse

In 2005 there were disagreements between the club and the city of Weißwasser about the operating costs of the ice rink, so the future of ice hockey in Weißwasser was uncertain for a long time. Thanks to a broad-based fundraising campaign, however, sufficient funds were raised to ensure the game operations in the 2005/06 season. On April 9, 2006, the Füchse secured their sporting relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga by beating EHC Munich . At the end of the 2006/07 season , the team had to be the last in the play-downs, but was able to achieve relegation there with four wins and two defeats against the Dresdner Eislöwen . A year later - the Füchse had made it into the play-downs for the third time in a row - the team was defeated by REV Bremerhaven and was relegated to the top league. Due to the bankruptcy application for Moskitos Essen and the announced cessation of games by Eisbären Regensburg, the Füchse remained in the 2nd Bundesliga despite the sporting relegation.

The Füchsen achieved one of their greatest successes in the following two years: In the 2008/09 season , the Lausitzer Füchse reached the semi-finals of the play-offs after they had defeated the Heilbronner Falken in six games. In the semifinals they failed at the later champions SC Bietigheim-Bissingen . In the 2009/10 season , the Lausitzer Füchse reached the play-offs via the pre-play-offs and were eliminated again in the first round against eventual champions EHC Munich .

1950 to 1970

With the BSG Kristall Weißwasser , a team from Weißwasser took part in the GDR championship for the first time in 1950 . She had qualified as second in the state championship Saxony after SG Frankenhausen . She took third place.

Even after renaming it again to BSG Chemie Weißwasser from the following year until 1965, it was now continuously defended as SG Dynamo Weißwasser . In the three following seasons it was only possible to achieve second place behind SC Dynamo Berlin until the title was brought back to Weißwasser in 1969.

1970 to 1990

The championship of the ice hockey league, which was reduced from eight to two teams due to the competitive sport decision, has only been played between the two Dynamo teams from Weißwasser and Berlin since the 1970/71 season. Weisswasser won the title continuously until 1975, before Berlin retained the upper hand in the duel until 1988. Only in 1989 and 1990 could the last two titles to be awarded be brought to Weißwasser. From 1986, the more modern game mode of best-of series was used to determine the GDR master. Until 1989, two series of victories were required to win the championship, and three series of victories in the last year of the mini-league.

In the European Cup, Weißwasser was represented for the first time in the 1969/70 season . After a bye for the first round, the team retired in the second round. In 1971 , the sporting performance led straight to round three, the following year Weißwasser only failed in the semi-finals at the eventual cup winner HK ZSKA Moscow . 1973 they were also eliminated in the 3rd round in the penalty shootout. After a defeat in the first round in 1973/74 against Jokerit Helsinki, the semi-finals were reached again in 1975 , where they were eliminated against the eventual cup winners. Since Dynamo Berlin won the GDR championship in the following years, Weisswasser did not play in the European Cup again until 1982 and again reached the third round, but was again defeated by the series winner HK ZSKA Moscow. The last appearance in the European Cup to date was in the 1989/90 season . This year, the group win, which would have meant the move into the next round, was missed without defeat only because of the goal difference.

Partnerships

In June 2018, the Lausitzer Füchse and Berliner Eisbären announced that they would extend and at the same time deepen the cooperation that had existed since 2016 for at least three years, following the example of the NHL team Los Angeles Kings and their farm team Ontario Reign (AHL) . In the sporting field, the personnel decisions are made by the managing director of Lausitzer Füchse together with the sports director of the Berlin polar bears. The polar bears 'fitness trainer will also accompany the foxes' strength and endurance training in order to create the same conditions in both teams.
