He uses the urban GutsMuths Stadium in the west of the city, which can hold 2000 spectators.
history
After the Second World War and after the ban on all sports clubs brought about by the Soviet occupation forces, numerous provisionally organized sports clubs were established in Magdeburg. From 1948 onwards, sports activities in the Soviet zone of occupation were reorganized through the establishment of company sports associations (BSG). Under this condition, at the instigation of the manager of the Magdeburg construction company Börde, Hermann Erdwig, several sports groups from Magdeburg formed the company sports association Börde Alte Neustadt Magdeburg on April 22, 1949. The BSG was financially and organizationally supported by its sponsoring company Baubetrieb Börde, later VEB Bau-Union, and began with the sports of soccer, handball, swimming, athletics, boxing and table tennis. With the participation of the sponsoring company, the construction workers' stadium with swimming pool, soccer field, athletics facilities and a cycling track was built in 1950. The BSG later also used the smaller GutsMuths stadium. The BSG quickly developed into one of the strongest sports communities in Magdeburg. Within a year the number of members rose to 2,000, and by the end of 1950 17 sports sections had been created. After the founding of the central sports associations for the individual trade union branches, the sports community was renamed BSG Aufbau Börde Magdeburg in 1952.
Right from the start, the swimming section was the most successful division of the BSG. Between 1950 and 1954, the swimmers won 19 GDR championship titles for women and men. The water polo players became East German champions in 1952, 1953 and 1954. In table tennis, the BSG Börde was able to win six championship titles from 1950 to 1953 and the hockey ladies were GDR champions on the field in 1953. The soccer section was less successful. Their first team participated in the district championship in Magdeburg as early as 1947/48, and later in the state championship in Saxony-Anhalt, but could not qualify for other competitions. In 1952, the BSG Aufbau was one of the founding teams of the newly introduced third-class district league Magdeburg , in which they played with brief interruptions until 1966. Between 1972 and 1976, Aufbau Börde was again third-rate. In the game operations of the German Football Association , the MSV Börde was represented in the fifth-class association league Saxony-Anhalt between 2004 and 2008 .
The best known athlete at BSG Aufbau is the road cyclist Täve Schur . He came to BSG Börde in 1951 when his sports club Grün-Rot Magdeburg joined the club. For Magdeburg he won his first title in 1951 with the GDR championship in 100 km team driving and in 1954 when he won the GDR individual road championship. After moving to SC DHfK Leipzig, he was twice world champion and twice won the international stage race Friedensfahrt. The Olympic champion and three-time European champion, canoeist Günter Perleberg , also began his sporting career at the BSG Börde.
With this successful performance, the BSG Aufbau Börde had grown into the most powerful sports community in Magdeburg. The situation changed when the central sports associations were instructed to form new sports clubs to concentrate competitive sports. Thanks to the excellent work of BSG Aufbau, the specialty club of the Aufbau sports association, SC Aufbau Magdeburg, was founded in Magdeburg in 1955 . The BSG Aufbau had to hand over its most powerful sections to the sports club and from then on was only responsible for popular sports.
Development of the sports club MSV Börde
With German reunification and the associated economic changes, the economic basis for the company sports associations ceased to exist and they had to be restructured into civil associations . The BSG Aufbau Börde was converted into the Magdeburger SV Börde 1949 eV on July 20, 1990. Günter Quoos remained the old and new chairman. The football, handball, hockey, volleyball and gymnastics department were there from the start. Basketball and weight training were added later, so that in 2008 the club had seven departments. At that time the hockey team was active in the 1st Central German League. In 2013 and 2014, they were promoted to the top division both on the field and in the hall. The basketball players were represented in the national league. The football department started in 2008 with three men's teams, seven junior teams and one senior team. Since this season, the 1st team of MSV Börde played in the seventh-class state league Saxony-Anhalt. In the 2014/15 season, the MSV reached third place in the North Season of the Landesliga. Since several teams withdrew in the Association League Saxony-Anhalt , third place was enough for the MSV to rise to the Association League. After the 2017/18 season, the footballers were relegated from bottom of the table to the national league.
Sports facilities
The football and hockey departments use the facilities of the GutsMuths Stadion urban sports complex in the Stadtfeld district. It has a lawn and an artificial turf pitch, a beach volleyball facility and seats around 2000 spectators with 60 seats.
