The sports club activist Brieske-Senftenberg was a sports club of the GDR sports system from the Senftenberg district of Brieske . It existed from 1954 to 1963, its successor was SC Cottbus .
history
In order to enable a targeted development of high- performance sport, the DTSB decided in 1954/55 to found sports clubs (SC), whose sections were to function as a performance base for various types of sport. The SC activist Brieske-Senftenberg was founded in October 1954. It was the performance center of the activist sports association , in which the company sports communities of the surface mining and the basic industry of the GDR were combined. These branches of industry were concentrated in the Lusatian lignite mining district , which ultimately was the decisive factor for the establishment of the sports club in the Cottbus district , the "energy district".
The SC activist was one of the smaller and rather moderately successful sports clubs in the GDR. His athletes drove only a few GDR championships. When the sports club system was restructured in the early 1960s, it was decided that one sports club per district would be sufficient and that it would be located in the district capital. As a result, SC Cottbus was founded on April 19, 1963 and the SC activist Brieske-Senftenberg was dissolved a little later. In terms of their sections and funding priorities, both sports clubs were similar.
Sections
The sports club was divided into several competitive sports departments, so-called sections. Successful athletes or entire teams who had previously often belonged to a company sports community were delegated there . A central sports facility of the club was the " Sporthalle Aktivist ", which was inaugurated on October 31, 1959 and was then the largest self-supporting hall in Europe.
Soccer
Immediately after the founding of the SC Aktivist, the first men's soccer team of the BSG Aktivist Brieske-Ost was delegated to the sports club. She was a founding member of the GDR Oberliga and had always finished there with placements in the middle of the table. The SC activist finished his first league season in 1954/55 on rank 6 out of 14 and reached the semi-finals in the FDGB Cup . This was followed by a transition round with no relegation regulation with the penultimate place. In the 1956 season , the “miners” who played in the Glück-Auf-Stadion under coach Martin Schwendler achieved the greatest success in their club's history and were GDR runner-up behind SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt . Fifth and third were in 1957 and 1958 in the end.
After that, the results of the SC activist worsened from year to year. If the Senftenbergers had reached the quarter-finals of the FDGB Cup in 1956 and 1957, they were then eliminated in the second round at the latest. Even in the big leagues things went down continuously. At the end of the 1962/63 season , the Senftenberger were bottom of the table and were relegated to the GDR league . The SC activist Brieske-Senftenberg ceased its activity at this point, because in April 1963 SC Cottbus had been founded as a sports center in the Cottbus district . Numerous players of the first team of the SC Aktivist therefore switched to SC Cottbus. Three years later, the football section of SC Cottbus was affiliated with BSG Energie Cottbus , the basis of which was thus the SC activist. The second team of the SC Aktivist played again from 1963 as BSG activist Brieske-Ost in the district league.
The players of the SC activist in the league time included Manfred Kupferschmied , Michael Strempel , Horst Franke , Lothar Haack , Heinz Lemanczyk , Helmut Gruner , Karl Schwandt , Dieter Sommer and Heinz Krüger . Several of them made the move to SC Cottbus in 1963, others joined the BSG activist Brieske-Ost, including regular players Lothar Marotzke and Harry Matschak.
In 1958 and 1960 the SC activist was GDR vice junior champion .
Boxing
The best - known boxer of the Senftenberg Club was Hans-Joachim Brauske , who at the beginning of his career stood for the SC activist in the ring from 1961 to 1963 and then went via SC Cottbus to SC Chemie Halle , where he won several championship titles. The later Cottbus boxer Werner Kirsch - he was part of the German-German squad for the 1960 Summer Olympics - and Klaus Radnick achieved initial successes with activist. In 1957, activist boxer Henrik Voigt was GDR lightweight champion.
athletics
Elfriede Warmuth was GDR runner-up in the javelin throw behind Ingeborg Günther from SC Dynamo Berlin in 1958 . Activist sprinter Helmuth Opitz won the GDR championship title in the 200-meter distance in 1960. The walking coach Hans-Joachim Pathus , who later became very successful in Potsdam, began his career in 1954 with SC activist Brieske-Senftenberg.
do gymnastics
The gymnastics section of the SC activist had no exceptional success. The athletes came to Senftenberg through delegations, often from the BSG activist Lauchhammer. The later very successful age gymnast Hans Fischer worked as a full-time trainer at SC Aktivist in the late 1950s.
