prehistory
FV Fortuna Magdeburg
In the FV Fortuna Magdeburg the sports football, athletics, handball and volleyball were represented. In 1919 he got his own stadium on Rothenseer Straße, which could hold 8,000 spectators. When the stadium area was needed for a housing estate in 1938, a new stadium had to be built for the club, which still exists today as the Schöppensteg sports field. Until the Second World War, the Fortuna footballers were comparatively successful, they were several Gau and Elbe district champions. Several players were appointed to national teams.
BSG turbine Magdeburg
After all clubs had to be dissolved at the behest of the Soviet occupying forces, the company sports community Turbine Magdeburg was founded on November 14, 1950 with the participation of former Fortuna club members . Since the Schöppensteg sports field was also assigned to the BSG, it is justified to regard it as the successor to the MFV. The sports of the pre-war period continued, later the sections swimming / water polo, cycling, table tennis, chess, billiards and weight training were added. At times the BSG had over 1000 members. The most successful division were again the footballers, who played in the Second GDR League in 1961/62 and in the second-rate GDR League between 1962 and 1965 .
history
The economic reorganization after the political change in 1989 brought about the loss of the financial basis of the company sports associations, but opened up the establishment of self-financing clubs. On this basis, the BSG turbine was transferred to the Fortuna sports club on June 15, 1990. With financial help from the city, the Schöppensteg stadium was extensively renovated by 2005 and, in addition to the grass pitch, also had an artificial turf pitch. In addition to the departments of badminton, boxing, gymnastics and volleyball, the footballers continued to dominate, whose men's team made it into the fourth-class NOFV league between 1996 and 2000 . The women's soccer team was also successful, and until 1997, before it founded its own club as the Magdeburg FFC , it was in the midfield of the third-class Regionalliga Nordost. Financial difficulties in the club forced those responsible to let the first men's soccer team play only in the seventh-class state class of Saxony-Anhalt from the 2000/01 season. In the 2006/07 season he was promoted to the national league. In 2008, another success was celebrated by winning the Magdeburg City Cup. In contrast, the 2008/09 season ended disappointingly with relegation to the national class. A year later, however, succeeded in returning to the state league and winning the city cup again. In the 2010/11 season, the march into the Association League Saxony-Anhalt , from which the club had to relegate in 2013. In 2016 she returned to the association league.
The women's handball department of SV Fortuna merged in 2000 with that of SC Magdeburg to form HSC 2000 Magdeburg .
