history

A SG Brandenburg West was founded in 1945 to replace the sports clubs that were disbanded by the Soviet military administration in Germany after the Second World War . In 1949, in the course of the formation of company sports associations, several previous sports groups, including the SG West, were merged to form the Central Company Sports Association, ZSG Werner Seelenbinder Brandenburg . After the founding of the central sports associations for the individual trade union areas in 1950, this was again unbundled, and the BSG unit Brandenburg was founded for the state administration area on November 20, 1950.

The only remaining section of the club is sailing. In 1958 a 20 square meter dinghy cruiser (R 212) of the BSG Einheit Brandenburg won the bronze medal at the GDR championships. Günter Ludwig, Liselotte Ludwig and Erhard Schleuss were on board. Six years later, in 1964, Günter Ludwig, Armin Dmoch and Liselotte Ludwig were runner-up in the same class. After decades without national successes, it was not until the 1980s that another boat from the company sports community made it into the medal ranks. In 1982 Dirk Gericke won the GDR youth champion in the OK dinghy boat class on the Schwielowsee near Potsdam and in 1987 the silver and 1989 the bronze medal in the national senior championships. In 2002 Karsten Klenke from SG Einheit became German runner-up in the Flying Dutchman boat class in a sailing community with Kay-Uwe Lüdke from the Berlin-Grünau yacht club .

rowing

The rowing section of the BSG unit was in the tradition of the rowing club Havel Brandenburg and was particularly successful in the 1950s and 1960s. The first head of the section was Fritz Sumpf. In 1951 the double scull of the BSG Einheit Brandenburg won the women's silver medal at the GDR championships in Berlin-Grünau with Inge Bauerfeind and Lucie Hummel and a year later the bronze medal. Also in 1952 the four-man with helmsman won the silver medal. In the boat sat Horst Greulich, Manfred Höfer, Werner Wernicke, Harry Gahren and the helmsman Günter Meltendorf. In 1963, the lightweight four without a helmsman with Jakob Kopf, Jürgen John, Peter Rynkowski and Jörg Hoffmann also became GDR champions in Grünau. In the following year, the BSG competed in the boat class lightweight four-man with a helmsman in a racing community with BSG Motor Plaue. The boat with Rainer Dulich, Günter Habeck, Peter Rynkowski, Lutz Stübing and helmsman Klaus Moch came in third place. Well-known rowers who began their careers at Einheit were, for example, the two-time Olympic and four-time world champions Jörg Landvoigt and Bernd Landvoigt . Other national or international medal winners who came to rowing through the unit were, for example, Jörg Friedrich , Hans-Joachim Borzym , Dietmar Schiller , Carola Lichey , Barbara Reichel and Martina Fink . After the political change in 1989, the rowers of the BSG were founded and the Rowing Club-Havel Brandenburg was re-established. The boathouse of the rowers was located in Hammerstrasse on the Nähtewinde, a tributary of the Havel , the home racing track was the Beetzsee regatta course . This was opened on June 18, 1969. The prestige object cost about 6,000,000 marks . The construction time was around 20 months and 750,000 marks were provided by athletes and the people of Brandenburg.

canoe

In the early 1950s, R. Freund won two women's championship titles. In 1951 she won the gold medal in a single kayak and in 1952 with a school in a two-person kayak . As a result, the unit focused its work primarily on the junior area. Numerous talents have been delegated to the children's and youth sports school in Brandenburg and Potsdam . For example, Olympic medalist Petra Grabowsky began her athletic career at the BSG unit .

The soccer team played a leading role in shaping soccer in the city together with Motor Süd Brandenburg until the early 1950s . The first soccer team of the SG West as well as the ZSG and the BSG unit were represented in the Brandenburg State League until 1952 (most recently the third division). For the 1952/53 season, Einheit Brandenburg was a founding member of the newly created third-rate district league Potsdam . If unity clearly failed in the opening season behind Motor Hennigsdorf , the promotion to the GDR league was made perfect in the following season in front of Stahl Hennigsdorf . In the second highest division of the GDR, however, unit Brandenburg had no chance and rose with only nine season points together with SG Hohenschönhausen back into the district league. There, unit came in the 13-game transition round to align the football season with the calendar year only on a fifth place. In the same year, the BSG Einheit Brandenburg was dissolved, the football section was attached to the BSG Stahl Brandenburg , and with the 1956 season it also took over the district league pitch from Einheit Brandenburg.
