The SC Wacker Leipzig was a sports club from the Leipzig district of Gohlis . It was founded in 1895 and existed under this name until 1945.
history
The club was founded on February 24, 1895 from a merger of Concordia Leipzig and Saxonia Leipzig as FC Wacker 1895 Leipzig and was renamed SC Wacker 1895 Leipzig in October 1918 . Originally the association was brought into being by high school students and students from the König-Albert-Gymnasium ; first games were against other school teams. In 1921, Friesen joined Leipzig . In the first decades of the 20th century, Wacker was one of the strongest football teams in Central Germany and, alongside VfB Leipzig, was the strongest club in Leipzig.
FC Wacker was a founding member of the Leipzig Ball Game Association in the summer of 1896 and took part in its championship in its first season. After the formation of the Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs , Wacker took part in the point games in Gau I, later renamed Gau Nordwestsachsen, or Gau Groß-Leipzig. In the era of National Socialism was Gauliga Sachsen formed. From 1896/96 and 1897 up to and including the 1936/37 season, FC / SC Wacker always played in the top division. In 1940/41, after three years in second division, a season followed in the highest league, which has now been renamed "Division Class Saxony", which ended with immediate relegation. In the last war season of 1944/45, SC Wacker took part in Season 2 of the Saxon War Class in the Leipzig Battlefield Sports District. Due to the hopeless war situation, the Gau Sachsen was divided up this season.
The club's colors were blue-white-blue. The game was initially played on the Gohlis parade ground, from 1902 on the Wacker sports field at Debrahof and from 1923 in the new Wacker stadium on Tauchaer Weg (1923: 40,000 seats), today's Stadium of Peace on Max-Liebermann-Straße.
The SC Wacker Leipzig was dissolved after the Second World War . The successor club is called SG Motor Gohlis-Nord Leipzig .
