Departments
badminton
The badminton department is the most successful division in the SGG. The department was founded on October 22nd, 1957 as the badminton section in the SG Gittersee. In 1958, the section launched two tournaments with the Dresdner Teller and the Silver Shuttlecocks , which still have their place in the diaries of the German Badminton Association today. With the move of the Tröbitzer national player Monika Cassens to Gittersee in 1974 the most successful time of the badminton division began in Gittersee. After a fourth place in 1975, the team around Monika and Claus Cassens fought for third place in the GDR Oberliga , the country's top division, in 1976 and 1977 . In 1978, with the departure of some top performers, including the Cassens couple to HSG Lok HfV Dresden, the focus of the service was delegated to the university club by the GDR Badminton Association and Gittersee was sentenced to forced relegation two classes lower. As a team, Gittersee never made it back into the top division until the end of the GDR.
In the individual disciplines, Monika Cassens was involved in five of six title wins for Gittersee, the sixth was won by Karin Kattner and Eberhard Hübner in mixed doubles in 1969.
