The club maintains the football, hockey, volleyball, canoeing, athletics, gymnastics, bowling and chess departments (as of 2008). SV Jenapharm is the successor to the company sports association Chemie Jena, which was founded in 1950.
Football department
After the end of the Second World War, when all previous sports clubs in East Germany were banned and initially replaced by casual sports communities, the soccer team supported by the Zeiss factories played the dominant role from the start. When the system of company sports associations was established in East Germany from 1948 , the BSG Chemie Jena was founded in 1950 by VEB Jenapharm. In the future, the pharmaceutical plant also acted as a sponsoring company with financial and structural support. In addition to a strong hockey section (runner-up in 1953), a football section was also set up.
The soccer team took part in the games for the GDR soccer cup in the summer of 1950 and was only defeated by the top division ZSG Industrie Leipzig in the second round . In the league area, Chemie Jena took over the state class place of BSG Otto Schott . In the 1951/52 season, the chemists took 7th place in the Thuringia regional league and thus qualified for the Gera regional league, which was newly established from 1952 onwards . There the team immediately became district champions and rose to the GDR league . At the end of the 1953/54 season, however, it was only enough for the penultimate place, so that the gang had to be started back in the district league. There you became district champion for the second time, but then failed in the promotion round to the new 2nd GDR League . This was followed by three years in the now fourth class district league, completed in 1958 with renewed relegation to the district class. The immediate return followed and in 1963 the third district champion title. In two qualifying games for promotion to the GDR league (the II. League had been discontinued), however, the BSG Chemie drew 0: 5 and 1: 0 against Motor Eisenach the short straw. In the 1963/64 season, the previous year's result was repeated - district champion, failed in the promotion round.
After winning the fifth district championship, the goal of returning to the second division was finally achieved. Behind Motor Nordhausen, Chemie Jenas achieved second place in the promotion lap. The 40-year-old coach Rolf Hüfner tackled the 1966/67 GDR league season with an initially 19-strong squad with an average age of 26. He built in particular on the former national player Günter Imhof and the league experienced Walter Larisch (43 league games for chemistry Halle). After only three wins in the 15 games of the first half of the season, however, it was already becoming apparent that it would be difficult to at least stay up. After all the first seven games were lost in the second half of the season, coach Hüfner was replaced by Imhof, who has since stepped down as a player. Although he called up six new players and the squad increased dramatically to 29 active players, the ex-international could not prevent relegation either. With three wins, 3 draws and 24 defeats as well as a goal account of −57, BSG Chemie was far behind in the table. After 2,000 spectators had come to the opening game against FSV Lokomotive Dresden , an average of only 900 visitors came over the entire season.

From 1967 to 1975 Chemie Jena was continuously represented in the district league. At the end of the 1974/75 season, the team had to start again in the district class, but immediately rose again with a record result of 63: 1 points and 131:22 goals. Thereafter, BSG Chemie, renamed BSG Jenapharm in 1982, remained in the Gera district league until 1989, when it was relegated to the district class.
As SV Jenapharm, the 1st soccer team started soccer in the district class East Thuringia Season II in 1990, where promotion to the district league East Thuringia was achieved. In 1995 he made the leap into the newly formed Thuringia regional class as seventh. In the following years the club rose to the district league. In 2011 he was promoted to the eight-class regional class (season 2). After the association structure reform in the Thuringian Football Association , the club plays in the regional league Jena-Saale-Orla (8th league) in 2012/13.
