history
The official founding date of SC Dynamo Hoppegarten is February 19, 1956, when the riding , modern pentathlon and parachuting sections , which previously belonged to SC Dynamo Berlin , were merged into an independent sports club on the site of the former riding school of the German border police in Dahlwitz-Hoppegarten . In October 1960, a fourth section was launched with the sport shooters. In 1966, the sports club was expanded again with the addition of the Judo section, which had previously been subordinate to SC Dynamo Berlin . In 1990 the Dynamo sports association was dissolved and a branch office of SC Berlin was established in Hoppegarten. In 1996 the Budoverein Dynamo Hoppegarten was founded . The shooting sports section was renamed SC Diana Hoppegarten in 1990 . Today the SC Diana is the federal base for the throwing disc disciplines.
Important sections
Judo
The judo section of SC Dynamo was founded in 1954 under head coach Ewald Schönrock and belonged to SC Dynamo Berlin until 1966. A particularly successful judoka of the section was Henry Hempel from the beginning , who became DJV head coach after his active career . In 1960, his brother Helmut Hempel was the first dynamo judoka to win a bronze medal on the podium at European championships. Karl Nitz was the first European judo champion of the SC Dynamo in 1963. According to Voker Kluge (page 283), Nitz was still playing for SC Dynamo Berlin. The club's history of the Judo section was continued from 1966 under the name Hoppegarten with head trainer Gert Schneider . In 1970 Klaus Hennig won the European title. Dietmar Hötger won the European Championships in 1972 and 1973. He won bronze at the 1972 Olympic Games , making him the GDR's first Olympic medalist. Nitz, Hennig and Hötger trained with Gert Schneider. Hötger then became Schneider's successor as trainer, Nitz worked for several years as assistant trainer and Helmut Hempel as junior trainer. In the mid-1970s, Günter Krüger was the first European champion supervised by coach Hötger. In 1979 Detlef Ultsch was the first German judoka to win the world championship, the following year Dietmar Lorenz won the Open Class of the 1980 Olympic Games and was the first and only judo Olympic champion from the GDR. In the 1980s, Andreas Preschel and Henry Stöhr were internationally successful. The Olympic medalists Torsten Bréchôt and Sven Loll were also trained by Dietmar Hötger at SC Dynamo.
The SC Dynamo Hoppegarten was from 1967 to 1971 and from 1974 to 1976 GDR team champions.
Sport shooting
The majority of the Olympic medalists from the GDR in sport shooting competed for the GST Leipzig sport shooting club, but Dynamo Hoppegarten also provided two medal winners with the 1976 Olympic champion Norbert Klaar and the 1980 Olympic third-party Jörg Damme . Norbert Klaar was only once GDR champion with the rapid-fire pistol in 1979. Jörg Damme, on the other hand, won four GDR championship titles for Dynamo Hoppegarten in the 1980s, and in 1990 he won for Diana Hoppegarten. The multiple world and European champion Bernhard Hochwald also started for the club.
horse riding
Until the early 1970s, there was a section for equestrian sports at SC Hoppegarten . One of their most successful representatives was Gerhard Schulz , who won a bronze medal in the military team competition at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo . After the dissolution of the riding section at SC Chemie Halle in 1969, Dynamo Hoppegarten remained next to ASK Vorwärts Potsdam as one of two locations for competitive riding in the GDR. In accordance with the competitive sports decision of the DTSB Presidium in 1969, funding was concentrated on dressage and military. The riding section was dissolved in 1972/73, and the equestrians mostly joined company sports associations.
Parachuting
Also skydiving was operated at SC Dynamo Hoppegarten as a competitive sport. The corresponding section moved its headquarters to Eilenburg as early as 1966, but continued under the old name until 1988. Only then did the FSC Dynamo Eilenburg emerge as a spin-off from Dynamo Hoppegarten.
