Departments

Soccer

Handball

SC Magdeburg is one of the most successful German handball clubs.

athletics

For years, Grit Breuer was the figurehead of athletics at SC Magdeburg. Later, Nils Schumann also trained under coach Thomas Springstein at SC Magdeburg.

Before Raymond Hecht ended his career, he was also active in the SC Magdeburg jersey.

Today the following top-class athletes start for the club:

swim

The swimming department of SC Magdeburg has over 800 members (150 of them in water polo) and is one of the most traditional swimming sports departments in Germany. A forerunner of today's club was the Magdeburg Swimming Club from 1896 , which was dissolved in the 1940s . When SC Magdeburg was founded in 1954, the remaining swimming athletes were integrated.

With one team each in the first division swimming for men and women, SC Magdeburg is also one of the most important teams in German competitive swimming. The women reached fourth place in the 2005/06 season and sixth place for the men. The Bundesliga teams are trained by Bernd Henneberg. A special feature of the training is that the Elbeschwimmhalle training facility , in which a federal performance center is also stationed, is available for training units for top athletes for almost 40 hours a week.

The most famous swimmers of the club are the world champion Antje Buschschulte , the former junior European champions Christina Werner and Leif-Marten Krüger and the no longer active Olympic champion from 1992 , Dagmar Hase .

In water polo, the club was represented in the 1st Bundesliga since 2005 . On January 1, 2009, however, the water polo players moved from the swimming department of the SCM to the newly founded Wasserball-Union Magdeburg. Until the end of the 2008/09 season, the team must therefore compete under the name SGW WU Magdeburg / SC Magdeburg. From the 2009/10 season, the water polo players will finally be independent as WU Magdeburg.

Canoe racing

The canoe racing division has produced numerous world champions and Olympic medalists, including a. the Olympic champions Bernd Duvigneau , Andreas Ihle , Ulrich Papke , Ingo Spelly , Conny Waßmuth and Mark Zabel and is currently the most internationally successful department of the association.

rowing

The multiple German and world champion Marcel Hacker has been racing for SC Magdeburg since 2013 .
