Post SV Dresden
The Post SV Dresden (full name: Postsportverein Dresden e.V. ) is an association for competitive and popular sports from the Saxon state capital Dresden . The club, founded in 1990, follows the tradition, but not the legal successor to the Post-Sportvereinigung Dresden e. V. , which existed in the time of the GDR as BSG Post Dresden .
The association is the main user of the Hebbelstraße sports field in the Cotta district .
history
Employees of the postal founded with the support of her employer in August 1925, the post-Sports Association Dresden for sporty balance the sometimes very one-sided activities. In the same year it was entered in the register of associations . From the start, members were mainly postal workers or their family members. The postal athletes set up a sports field in the Ostragehege themselves , which was inaugurated on the first weekend in June 1928. After the NSDAP came to power, this was also gradually brought into line.
After all clubs were dissolved in the course of denazification after the end of the Second World War , the club was re-established in 1949 as a company sports association of the Deutsche Post under the name BSG Post Dresden . Instead of the old sports field, the BSG was assigned the Cotta sports field in Hebbelstraße. With funds from the post office as a carrier, some new buildings and redesigns could be carried out in the following decades, for example the construction of a sports home in 1960 and an expansion of the space in 1973.
After German reunification , Post SV Dresden was founded on October 11, 1990 . After the city of Dresden made restitution claims against the Bundespost , the sports field returned to the city's ownership, but the club remained its main user. In the course of the privatization and division of the Post into Deutsche Post AG and Deutsche Telekom AG , the association was renamed Post Telekom SV Dresden . The sponsorship on the part of Post and Telecom ended in 1999, the renaming in 2005 to Post SV Dresden is therefore purely for reasons of identity. Although the association has long been open to all sections of the population, it is still a concern of the association that Post and Telecom employees are members of the association.
At the end of the 1990s, a multi-year reconstruction of the Hebbelstrasse sports field, which lasted until 2006, began, in which an artificial turf field, a multi-purpose field, school sports facilities and new buildings were created in several construction phases, the old clubhouse was renovated and the other infrastructure was renewed.
sports
Post SV Dresden has departments for badminton , football , health sports , gymnastics , youth, athletics , orienteering , roller-skating , swimming , synchronized swimming , senior sports , taekwon-do , trampoline , volleyball and hiking .
The first men's soccer team rose to the sixth class Sachsenliga in the 2014/15 season, but ended the season bottom of the table with nine points and a win from 30 games. Today the team plays in the 8th league, the Dresden City Superior League. In the 2016/17 season, in which they only suffered one defeat, the first women's football team rose to the fourth-class national league.
The athletics department is the organizer of the traditional cross-country run around the Wolfshügel , the Dresden Nikolauslauf and a national school and youth sports festival.
As a result of the restructuring of the SC Einheit Dresden in the time of the GDR, which from then on should only practice Olympic sports as competitive sport, its chess department, founded in 1955, switched to the BSG Post Dresden in 1966. At Post SV Dresden, both men and women played successfully in the Bundesliga before the department moved to Dresdner SC for the 1994/95 season and finally to USV TU Dresden in 2006 .
