Soccer

BSG Chemie was promoted to the third-class district league Gera in 1953 , but was immediately relegated. It was not until 1960 that BSG Motor managed to return to the district league. Except for the season 1964/65 (district class) Hermsdorf played in the district league and was district champion for the first time in 1969. In the subsequent round of promotion to the GDR league , the BSG Motor took 1st place and thus achieved promotion. Then the Hermsdorfer became the "elevator team". Between 1970 and 1983 BSG Motor was relegated from the GDR league five times, but also managed to rise again four times.

The foundation stone for reaching the GDR league was laid by the former master coach Erich Dietel , who led the SG Planitz to the first East Zone Championship in 1948 . Dietel coached the Hermsdorfer footballers from 1966 to 1973. When Hermsdorf achieved its best placement in the history of the BSG in 1972 with 7th place in the GDR league, it was striker Gerd Möller who not only kept his league with his 17 goals Team secured, but also became top scorer of all five league seasons.

After relegation from the GDR league in 1983, BSG Motor remained in the district league until the GDR football operations were stopped. Even the soccer players of SV Hermsdorf, founded in 1990, did not get beyond the lower leagues in Thuringian soccer. The low point was in 1992 the descent in the district league. In the 2010/11 season, the sports club played in the regional class of Thuringia, Staffel East (7th league), but rose to the regional class at the end of the season. After the association structure reform in the Thuringian Football Association , the club has been playing in the Jena-Saale-Orla regional league (8th division) since 2012. The women's soccer team, which plays in the fourth-class Thuringia regional league, is more successful.

In terms of youth work, the soccer department has entered into a syndicate with SV Eintracht Eisenberg and SV Elstertal Silbitz / Crossen for age groups A, B, C and D youth .

Current teams:

Men's team I: Jena-Saale-Orla regional league
A-youth: Coca Cola national class I
B and C youth (SV Eintracht Eisenberg, SV Hermsdorf; SV Silbitz Crossen)
D-youth: district class; E-youth: district league; F-youth: district league
Women's teams: E, D, C juniors (SG Eisenberg / Hermsdorf) and the women's team

badminton

The badminton department was founded in Hermsdorf in 1958. Through the joy of badminton, pupils of the then Extended High School (EOS) came together to found it under the direction of Ingeborg Eckart and belonged to the BSG Motor Hermsdorf. The training location at that time was a school sports hall with a playing field and stove heating (1 m away from the edge of the field). The first successes in the game operations of the schoolchildren, such as winning the pioneer cup, ensured that there were enough young athletes.

The construction of an air dome in 1968 brought training opportunities in three fields. However, the external conditions, such as the lack of heating and washing facilities and, above all, the collapse of the hall during a storm, were anything but favorable. The then head of department and exercise, Helmut Benz, carried out very successful training in the junior area. Between 1969 and 1972 the students won four bronze and six silver medals as well as GDR championship titles on a GDR scale.

After the reunification, the number of members fell and there was a lack of good players, especially in the youth field. It is thanks to the unity and the common good thinking of the "veterans" in the department that things have improved again in Hermsdorf badminton sport and that new successes have been achieved. In 1993, with the 1st BC ESV Gera, a game community was founded in the senior sector, which existed until 1999. In the following seasons it was possible to climb up to the association league with an independent team again. From 2004 to 2008 they were represented in this second highest division in Thuringia. The team then had to be withdrawn due to a lack of staff. Then there was a team in the independent hobby / district league, which stipulated a lower number of players (only 1 men's doubles). The first team that was newly formed with young people before the 2012/2013 season was able to celebrate the promotion from the district league to the association class.

Current tournament participation (season 2018/2019):

1st team: Association class Thuringia
Youth League East Thuringia: Teams in U15, U17 and U19
Participation in all Thuringian tournaments of the age groups U9 to U19

history

The sport has a long tradition in Hermsdorf. The first sports communities can be traced back to 1861. On January 18, 1949, the BSG "Einigkeit Hermsdorf" / Thuringia was founded. The sponsoring company was the then HESCHO, later Kombinat VEB Keramische Werke Hermsdorf (KWH). On November 9, 1950, due to the allocation to the various branches of industry, the name was changed to BSG "Chemie Hermsdorf". In 1954 the BSG "Chemistry" was renamed BSG "Motor Hermsdorf". After the reunification, the SV Hermsdorf / Thuringia was formed from it.
