History of SV Lindenau 1848 eV
On July 14th 1848 the General Gymnastics Club (ATV) was founded in Lindenau . At that time Lindenau was a village outside Leipzig's city limits with 2500 inhabitants.
On April 24, 1860, the men's gymnastics club Lindenau (MTV) was founded at the suggestion of Ferdinand Goetz , who had settled in Lindenau in spring 1855 as a general practitioner. The first gymnasium was inaugurated on June 24th. The topping-out ceremony for the gymnasium was celebrated on October 17, 1861, and in 1875 the consecration ceremony for the new hall of the men's gymnastics club in Guths-Muths-Straße took place.
Listed in the yearbook of Germany's gymnastics clubs 1963:
- 79 club members and 85 gymnastics students in the ATV Lindenau
- 177 members and 102 gymnastics students in the men's gymnastics club
- Both clubs have their own gym.
In 1882 the Lindenauer Turnverein (LTV) was founded as the last of the three parent clubs of SV Lindenau in 1848 .
At the beginning of 1891 Lindenau was incorporated into the now rapidly growing urban area of Leipzig.
The gymnastics and sports community (TSG) 1848 Leipzig-Lindenau emerged in 1921, initially as a working group, from the merger of the three Lindenau clubs. In 1923 the summer amusement park "Charlottenhof" was acquired by TSG and opened on May 25, 1924 as "Sportpark Charlottenhof". On July 26, 1925, the inauguration of the sports park with hall, bath, two playgrounds and a fencing track took place.
After the forced dissolution and expropriation of TSG 1848 Leipzig-Lindenau following the end of the Second World War, the Lindenau-Aue sports community was established as one of the first Leipzig sports clubs in 1946, initially with six sections. In 1949 the Central Sports Association (ZSG) Industrie Leipzig was established with 20 state-owned companies as sponsors. As part of the socialist sports structures that were now building up, the ( Consumption Department ) of ZSG Industrie Leipzig became the company sports community (BSG) Konsum Leipzig with ten sections and 691 members. The sponsor was the consumer cooperative of the city of Leipzig. On June 1, 1953, the company sports community (BSG) Empor Lindenau, which is still supported by the consumer cooperative, was finally founded with eleven sections, with the sections athletics, swimming and handball being declared state priorities of the GDR and particularly promoted (comparable to today's Performance centers).
As part of the restructuring of associations in the area of the GDR as a result of German reunification , the name was changed to the non-profit association SV Lindenau 1848 e. V. instead.
From May 18th to 25th, 2002, the club area Charlottenhof was one of the main venues of the 31st German Gymnastics Festival .
The athletics department celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2005. On June 28, 2005, on the occasion of the 6th Lindenau District Festival, the then Mayor of Leipzig, Wolfgang Tiefensee , paid a visit to the club after a joint helicopter flight.
In March 2015, the soccer department of SV Lindenau 1848 received the DFB Integration Prize 2014 for its efforts to integrate refugees .
