BSG Motor West Karl-Marx-Stadt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The BSG Motor West Karl-Marx-Stadt was a German company sports association from Chemnitz .

Athletic career

Motor West was founded in 1945 as SG Chemnitz-West and began its career in the then second-class Chemnitz District League. Home was the Westkampfbahn in Chemnitz-Altendorf . In 1948 the SG won the season there and advanced in the Saxony Championship to the semi-finals, where they lost 3-0 to the later East Zone Champion SG Planitz . When GDR football was converted to the economic base of the company sports associations (BSG) in 1950 , it was first renamed Nagema Chemnitz . Other new names followed at annual intervals, such as Stahl West Chemnitz , Motor Chemnitz West and, from 1953, Motor West Karl-Marx-Stadt . This designation was retained until 1972.

In 1954 Motor West became champion of the Karl-Marx-Stadt district and was promoted to the GDR league . Since a year later the three-track league was reduced to one season, the immediate relegation to the 2nd GDR league followed . In 1958, BSG Motor West had to hand over its team to SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt , in which it briefly played as the second team. As early as 1959, due to the relegation of the first SC Motor team, the spin-off took place again. The Motor West team, which has now been downgraded to the district league, still had so much potential that it again won the district championship in 1960 and was promoted to the 2nd GDR league. After another two years, Motor West had again reached the level before the forced merger with SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt when it was promoted to the GDR league. In 1963, the team reached its greatest success in its history when it made it to the semi-finals of the FDGB Cup and it was only in extra time that Chemie Zeitz was beaten 2: 3 . After the league placements 8, 10 and 15, relegation had to be accepted in 1965 and a long period of lower class followed with the lowest point of relegation to the district class. Motor West was unable to return to higher-class football, so the BSG was dissolved in 1972. Parts of the BSG joined Motor Ascota Karl-Marx-Stadt .
