The soccer games between the Leipzig-Leutzsch- based BSG Chemie Leipzig and the Leipzig-Probstheida- based 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig as well as between their predecessor clubs are referred to as the Leipzig City Derby .
In contrast to other well-known derbies in German football, such as the Munich city derby , the Leipzig city derby was not held between two continuously existing clubs: Rather, the eventful history of football rivalry between the two districts of Leipzig reflects that for the development of football in East Germany Typical breaks in the 20th century: dissolution of the clubs after the end of the Second World War , several state-ordered restructuring of the club landscape in the time of the GDR as well as financial difficulties and insolvencies after reunification led to mergers, name changes and new foundations on both sides . This high degree of institutional discontinuity is contrasted in a remarkable way by the strongly pronounced continuity of the respective supporters who have survived all these upheavals.
The currently most successful Leipzig soccer club, RB Leipzig , has hardly had any sporting points of contact with other Leipzig clubs in its young history, so that no inner-city rivalries could develop that would justify the term “derby” and are comparable to the rivalry “Leutzsch-Probstheida” would be.
The reigning derby winner is BSG Chemie Leipzig, which prevailed in the last city derby on October 6, 2019 with a 2-0 home win. In the overall balance, 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig and its predecessor clubs lead 48 of the 107 derbies. BSG Chemie and its predecessors have won the derby 38 times so far. 21 Leipzig city derbies ended in a draw.
history
The history of both Leutzsch and Probstheidaer football is shaped by a large number of (sport) political and financial institutional disruptions. Both of the clubs that exist today are not legally identical to their various predecessors, each of which also had a number of different names. What contributes to the confusion is that in the past both clubs - independently of each other - already had the name "Locomotive". These developments are summarized below in a simplified form.

The history of Leutzsch football begins with FC Britannia 1899 Leipzig . Through a series of mergers, this club went up in 1932 in the TuRa Leipzig , which played first-class ( Gauliga Sachsen ) from 1936 . At the end of the Second World War in 1945, the association was dissolved due to Directive No. 23 of the Allied Control Council . The association was re-established as early as 1946 under the name SG Leipzig-Leutzsch . In 1949 SG Leipzig-Leutzsch merged with SG Lindenau-Hafen to form ZSG Industrie Leipzig .
Due to the reorganization of the East German sports clubs in 1950 ZSG was in a Sports Association (August 16, 1950 carrier operation converted VEB paints and coatings Leipzig); the association now bore the name BSG Chemie Leipzig for the first time . In the 1950/51 season , BSG Chemie became GDR champions and thus brought the first championship to Leutzsch. In 1954 there was another restructuring in Leipzig football, as a result of which the first team of BSG Chemie was taken over by the newly founded SC Lokomotive Leipzig . The SC Lokomotive won the FDGB Cup in 1957 .
In 1963 there was a further restructuring of the club landscape: the SC Lokomotive was merged with the city rival SC Rotation Leipzig to form SC Leipzig . The aim of this merger was to join forces in Leipzig football. Since the merger freed up a place in the GDR Oberliga, BSG Chemie Leipzig was able to return to the Oberliga; However, the BSG Chemie was only allocated to those players who were deemed less worthy of support. What followed was probably the greatest sensation in the history of GDR football: BSG Chemie, which on paper was significantly weaker than its city rival and was a relegation candidate before the season, sensationally won the GDR championship and won the second championship. Since then, no Leipzig club has managed to achieve a national championship title. In the 1965/66 season , BSG Chemie managed to win another FDGB Cup; thereafter it increasingly developed into an "elevator team".
In 1990, in the wake of the looming German reunification and the associated consequences for football matches, the name was initially changed to FC Grün-Weiß 1990 Leipzig and shortly thereafter a merger with BSG Chemie Böhlen , through which a starting place in the last- ever first-class NOFV- Oberliga 1990/91 could be secured. The club, which was named FC Sachsen Leipzig after the merger , was never able to achieve its self-imposed sporting goals in the years after reunification and never got beyond the third-rate league game. In addition, there were repeated financial difficulties and political conflicts among the supporters: As with many East German clubs, right-wing extremist groups increasingly infiltrated the fan scene at FC Sachsen in the 1990s . In contrast to most other clubs, the organized fan scene in Leutzsch, such as the ultra group Diablos Leutzsch , has been resolutely defending itself against this development since the early 2000s.
Last but not least, the resulting conflicts led to the fact that in 2008 a sponsoring association of FC Sachsen, founded in 1997, resumed playing in the twelfth class, 3rd district class under the name BSG Chemie Leipzig . Since the organized fan scene of FC Sachsen and numerous other supporters took this step, there was a split in Leutzsch football, which lasted until 2014. FC Sachsen was dissolved in 2011 after another bankruptcy, but another attempt to found a new company was made under the name SG Leipzig-Leutzsch (later SG Sachsen Leipzig ), which failed after just three years due to another insolvency. The "new" BSG Chemie, however, developed significantly more successfully and is now playing in the fourth-class regional league after numerous promotions .
Football in Probstheida
1893-1945 | VfB Leipzig |
1945-1949 | SG Leipzig-Probstheida |
1949-1950 | BSG Erich Zeigner |
1950-1954 | BSG unit Leipzig-East |
1954-1963 | SC Rotation Leipzig |
1963-1966 | SC Leipzig |
1966-1990 | 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig |
1990-2004 | VfB Leipzig |
since 2004 | 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig |
The history of Probstheidaer football begins with VfB Leipzig , which became the first German football champion in 1903 and won two further championship titles in 1906 and 1913. Another title was won in the Tschammerpokal in 1936 . The VfB Leipzig was also dissolved after the end of the Second World War and initially reorganized under the name SG Leipzig-Probstheida . In 1949 the association was renamed to BSG Erich Zeigner , a year later to BSG Einheit Leipzig-Ost . In the course of the first major restructuring of club football in the GDR in 1954, the BSG unit Leipzig-East was part of the SC Rotation Leipzig . In 1963, the SC Rotation merged with the SC Lokomotive Leipzig to form SC Leipzig (see above).
In 1966 the soccer department of SC Leipzig was spun off from the club and from then on appeared as an independent club under the name 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig . Although the 1. FC Lokomotive soon became the sporting number one in the city, it never won a GDR championship, but did win four FDGB cups (1976, 1981, 1986 and 1987) and take part in the final of the 1986 European Cup Winners' Cup / 87.
After reunification, the club again took its old name VfB Leipzig . In the 1993/94 season VfB played in the 1st Bundesliga, but played there the second worst season of all Bundesliga participants to date and clearly missed relegation. It should be the last participation of a Leipzig team in the top German league by 2016. In 2004 VfB Leipzig had to file for bankruptcy and was dissolved. A successor club was founded the year before, again under the name 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , which started from scratch in the 3rd district class, but now plays in the fourth class regional league.
The rivalry
The reasons for the football rivalry between Leutzsch and Probstheida, which goes beyond pure local rivalry, are complex and have changed several times over the course of time. In the beginning, the antagonism between the long-established, "middle-class" VfB Leipzig and the newly founded club TuRa Leipzig, which attracted a rather "proletarian" audience in the industrialized west of Leipzig, was decisive. In any case, the first games between the two clubs were characterized by typical Derby side effects such as violent arguments between the supporters.
The rivalry has had a political component at least since the restructuring in 1963: The fact that the newly founded SC Leipzig in Probstheida was to be made into the center of excellence for Leipzig football, while the BSG Chemie was degraded to the "rest of Leipzig" and those in the The following decades, the company sports clubs were generally disadvantaged compared to the sports clubs in the GDR, which led to Leutzsch supporters increasingly seeing themselves as "oppositional", while 1. FC Lokomotive was seen as "close to the state". It is debatable whether these ascriptions are correct in this generality.
More recently, the fact that Leutz's supporters are largely shaped by a politically more left-wing and student milieu has played a role, while parts of the Probstheida supporters - also due to a number of corresponding incidents - are assumed to be close to right-wing extremist movements.
