1948-1989
On September 1, 1948, under the direction of Arthur Hahnefeld, one of the first company sports associations (BSG) in the Soviet occupation zone at that time was founded under the name BSG Stahlwerk Riesa. When the GDR was founded , the community already had over 800 members and had twelve sports sections. The aim of the BSG was to bring the employees of the Riesa steel and rolling mill closer to the sport.
After April 1, 1950, renamed BSG Stahl Riesa was done, only four years was called later parallel to the BSG, the power center SC Stahl Riesa into life as a sports club of sports from now to host football , gymnastics , athletics and boxing be responsible should .
On May 29, 1955, the Ernst Grube stadium with over 11,000 spectator seats was handed over to sports operations . Only two years later, with the establishment of the German Gymnastics and Sports Association, the BSG Stahl Riesa became part of a now uniformly regulated sports program. Towards the end of the 1950s, the sports business had its own bowling facility. In 1958, the four-lane cone system was handed over to the colony .
With the construction of the teaching pool of the Friedrich-Engels-Oberschule in Riesa- Gröba , the deficit of irregular swimming training that had existed since 1936 could be remedied. From then on, the swimming department of the BSG offered regular year-round training.
In the 1960s, BSG Stahl developed into the sports center of the Riesa industrial district. Shaped by the high sporting achievements, members of a Riesa acrobatics group chose the flag of the GDR when the IV World Festival marched in Helsinki in 1962 . In the same year, the BSG began to become increasingly involved in the youth field, which resulted in a new training center for athletics .
After the coach Walter Fritzsch took over the soccer league team of BSG Stahl Riesa in 1965, it rose to the top soccer league on May 19, 1968 . After this success, the stadium was expanded in the summer of 1968 to a capacity of 15,000 seats, which were completely occupied at the first league game on August 25, 1968.
Since 1990
The end of the GDR era in 1989 brought not only social changes, but initially also gloomy times for the BSG. Due to the poor economic situation of the main sponsor, the Riesa pipe combine, the financing of the BSG collapsed. Under the name Stahl Riesa e. V. , the association was added to the German register of associations on September 7, 1990 . The previous soccer section became independent at that time and founded its own club under the name FC Stahl Riesa, in whose tradition BSG Stahl Riesa sees itself today .
Two years later, on November 6, 1992, the club's last name change took place. Linked to the traditions of the BSG steel Riesa, was the inn Gröba the sports club Riesa e. V. founded. With the exception of the football department and the canoe racers, all sections were assigned the new club name. From now on, the sports club was to be financed through membership fees, funding from the state sports association and, in particular, sponsorship money.
Riesa became known nationally and internationally through individual sporting achievements and the hosting of top-class sporting events . The sports club currently has over 2500 members in over 20 departments. The club hosted the World Acrobatics Championships in 1996 and 2002 as well as the Sumo Wrestling World Cup in 1999 and 2004 and the first and second round of the Women's Volleyball World Cup in 2002 .
