The sports club Lokomotive Leipzig (short: SC Lok Leipzig ) was a sports club of the GDR sports system in Leipzig . It existed from 1954 to 1963, its successor was the SC Leipzig . It is not to be confused with 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, founded in 1966, and 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , founded in 2003, both of which were or are pure football clubs.
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 Lokomotive Leipzig was founded in the summer of 1954 as one of the first sports clubs in the GDR (after the ZASK Vorwärts Berlin ). It was the center of excellence of the Lokomotive sports association (SV Lok), in which the company sports associations of the Deutsche Reichsbahn were combined. As the location of the republic's largest passenger station ( Leipzig Hauptbahnhof ) and its central location in the GDR, Leipzig was an important location for the Reichsbahn, which was ultimately one of the reasons for the sports club to be located in the trade fair city.
In the 1950s and early 1960s, active athletes from several of the sections sponsored by competitive sports belonged to the absolute top of the GDR. When the sports club system was restructured in the early 1960s, however, it was decided that one sports club per district would be sufficient. As a result, the SC Lokomotive and the SC Rotation Leipzig merged in July 1963 to form the SC Leipzig district sports club . As the central club of the German University of Physical Culture , the SC DHfK Leipzig played a special role, so it continued to exist.
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 . The SC Lokomotive Leipzig and its players therefore became German champions of the GDR in various sports.
Boxing
The most successful boxers of SC Lok are Jochen Pracht , GDR amateur middleweight champion in 1955, and Hans Petermann , who became GDR amateur welterweight champion in 1958.
Soccer
The football section of SC Lok emerged from the footballers of BSG Chemie Leipzig , who qualified straight away for the newly founded GDR Oberliga in 1949 and became GDR champions in 1950/51 . After the chemistry team had become runner-up in 1953/54 , they were given the choice of either playing in the future focus of the central chemistry sports association in Halle ( SC Chemie Halle-Leuna ) or joining the newly founded SC Lok in Leipzig. Most of the players, coaches and officials opted for the latter variant and were thus delegated to SC Lokomotive Leipzig with effect from September 1, 1954, the rest had to continue as Chemie Leipzig-West in the district class.
The 1954/55 season closed the Lok-Elf under coach Alfred Kunze , who had taken over the top division starting place of BSG Chemie, with unexpectedly strong problems on rank eleven, but improved in the following transition round (sixth). In 1956 , the SC Lok landed in third place, five places ahead of the Probstheida city rivals Rotation Leipzig; In 1957 they finished seventh and were four places behind rotation. However, the first football team of SC Lok celebrated their greatest success under this name that season by winning the FDGB Cup in 1957 , when they against coach Fritz Wittenbecher on December 22nd in Karl-Marx-Stadt with 2-1 goals after extra time won the SC Empor Rostock .
From 1958 - Alfred Kunze has been coach again since then - they were in the middle of the table for a long time, but at least held their own as number one in Leipzig football by always being able to leave their city rivals rotation behind. The best performance was another third place in the 1960 season . In the 1958 FDGB Cup , the SC Lok had again fought their way to the final, but this time lost to Einheit Dresden . After that you couldn't get past the quarter-finals ( 1960 , 1961/62 ). In 1958, the SC Lok became GDR youth champion in front of SC activist Brieske-Senftenberg , after only having to give way to SC Motor Jena in the preseason .
The first men's team of SC Lok, dressed in black trousers and red shirts, played their home games mostly in the Stadion des Friedens in the Gohlis district . The exceptions included some city derbies against Rotation Leipzig, which took place in the central stadium in Leipzig because of the enormous number of spectators . The game on September 9, 1956 between rotation and locomotive (1: 2) saw more than 100,000 spectators. To this day, this is the all-German visitor record for national football matches in Germany.
The former players of SC Lok Leipzig include u. a. Horst Weigang , Hans-Dieter Busch , Karl-Heinz Brandt , Gerhard Polland , Heinz Schoppe , Siegfried Söllner , Theo Barth , Werner Walther , Ernst Lindner , Arnulf Pahlitzsch , Lothar Vetterke , Günter Behne , Gerhard Helbig , Georg Zenker , Armin Werner , Willi Conrad , Walter Stieglitz , Günter Konzack , Heinz Fröhlich , Günter Stiller and Klaus Heydenreich . During their time at SC Lok, several players even played in the GDR-A selection, including Rudolf Krause , Günter Busch and Rainer Baumann . Internationally, from 1955 on, a Leipzig city selection made up of players from rotation and locomotive, initially supervised by the first rotation trainer Heinz Krügel , played in the European trade fair cup . For the SC-Lok-Juniors was u. a. Bernd Dobermann .
When the soccer sections of Rotation and Lok Leipzig were united in the summer of 1963, the supposedly stronger Lok players, including Peter Gießner , Werner Gase , Peter Nauert and the two GDR A selection players Henning Frenzel and Dieter Fischer , were taken over by the new SC Leipzig , from which the 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig emerged in 1966 . The so-called "rest of Leipzig", consisting of the supposedly weaker players, including Heinz Herrmann , Manfred Walter , Dieter Sommer , Dieter Scherbarth , Hans-Georg Sannert and Jörg Ohm , had to go to the re-established BSG Chemie Leipzig and was there under coach in 1963/64 Alfred Kunze surprisingly GDR master.

In field handball they were a bit more successful, but there was no big hit: after the final defeats in 1960 against ASK Vorwärts Berlin , 1961 against SC Dynamo Berlin and again in 1962 against Vorwärts Berlin, there was only the runner-up championship three times in a row. It was not until 1965 , two years after the handball section was incorporated into the new SC Leipzig, that the field handball championship was won through a final victory over Dynamo Berlin.
