In summer 2015, the SV 1920 Roitzsch celebrated its 95th anniversary. Before the Second World War , the club played within the Association of Central German Ball Game Association . In the 1925/26 season , they were promoted to the first-class Gauliga Mulde , but the club rose again at the end of the season. A jump into the Gauliga Mitte , introduced in 1933 , did not succeed.
After all clubs in the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ) were dissolved after the end of the war , a loosely organized sports community (SG) was created in Roitzsch, whose soccer team took part in the first-ever Saxony-Anhalt national soccer class in 1948/49 . With the state class, which belonged to the five highest divisions in the SBZ, the soccer champion for Saxony-Anhalt was determined. There were 20 teams involved in two seasons, and SG Roitzsch was ninth in the southern season at the end of the season. This was not enough to keep the league, so Roitzsch had to compete in the district class in 1949/50. After the establishment of the Eastern Zone League (later GDR Oberliga ), it was only third-rate. During this season, the Roitzschers competed as SG Freiheit and took sixth place among twelve teams in their season.
From 1950/51 the district class was only 4th league, as a new second-class league had been introduced with the GDR league . In 1950 the Roitzsch sports community was converted into a company sports community (BSG) . She was called BSG Aktivist and also founded a handball section, which was represented in the second-rate GDR handball league in the 1960s. The footballers played in the Saxony-Anhalt district class until 1952, when the state of the same name was dissolved. It was replaced by 14 districts , according to which GDR football will also be oriented in the future. The BSG activist was placed in the Halle district class, which was still fourth class. In 1954 Roitzsch was promoted to the Halle district league, but was only able to stay there for two seasons. The 1957 season (calendar year season) ended the BSG in the district class, which was only 5th division after the introduction of the new third-class II. GDR League, to a relegation place. Activist Roitzsch was classified in the sixth grade district class B in 1958, from which she was also relegated in 1959.
The BSG Aktivist spent the following three seasons at the district level until 1963, when it returned to the fourth-class district class (the B class had previously been abolished). The fourth class lasted only three years, after which Roitzsch rose again to the district level. In 1969 the return to the district class was fought, which was immediately followed by the relay victory. In the promotion round to the district league, however, the promotion was missed. In the district class, activist Roitzsch was then able to assert himself until 1983, after which the BSG disappeared until the end of the GDR football game in the district league level.
Sports club 1920
After the political change in 1989/90 and the associated economic changes, the system of company sports associations collapsed. When the sponsoring company could no longer finance the BSG activist Roitzsch, BSG members founded the registered association SV 1920 Roitzsch in 1990 . For a long time, the football department did not get beyond the regional league level in the DFB game , only in 2014/15 the 1st team was represented for one year in the 8th national league, from which it was then relegated to the Anhalt-Bitterfeld regional league. The bowling department with its 70 members, whose women's team made it into the national league, has been more successful so far.
