Club history after 1945
The soccer team of the Planitzer SC finished the last regular season of the Gauliga Sachsen 1943/44 with rank 7 among ten teams. In the course of 1944, gaming operations in Saxony came to a standstill due to the expansion of the Second World War . After the end of the war, Germany was occupied by the victorious powers. The Allied Control Council issued Directive No. 23 on December 17, 1945, with which, among other things, all sports clubs in Germany were dissolved on January 1, 1946.
The Planitz football tradition was continued by SG Planitz , which became Eastern Zone Master in 1948 , and later by the company sports association (BSG) of the Zwickau car factory ZSG Horch / BSG Motor / BSG Sachsenring Zwickau . ZSG Horch Zwickau became the first soccer champion of the GDR in 1950 and BSG Motor and Sachsenring Zwickau were FDGB cup winners in 1963, 1967 and 1975 .
