The yellow-red Meiningen sports association was a German military football club from Meiningen . The club acted in the championship of the Gaues West Thuringia.
Career
In the garrison town of Meiningen - as was common at that time - a military sports club was established. As early as 1920 there was a Reichswehr football team there, playing games against “civil” clubs such as VfL Meiningen . In 1925 the yellow-red sports association was brought into being exclusively for the soldiers serving in Meiningen, which was recorded in the statistics of the Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs (VMBV) with 393 members in the founding year. In 1928 the soldiers' club first appeared nationwide when it secured the Gaume Championship in West Thuringia and qualified for the Central German Championship. Against VfB Coburg, Meiningen was clearly defeated 0: 4 in the first main round.
In the 1932/33 season, yellow-red reached the final round of the Central German Championship, in which the yellow-reds lost 5-1 to the clearly favored SC Erfurt in the round of 16 . During the reorganization in 1933, the club only got into the second highest league, the Thuringia district class , where it played in the top group for three years. After a second place in the 1935/36 season, the club disappeared from the tables. In the book “100 Years of Football in Thuringia” it says about the disappearance: “The Yellow-Red Meiningen team also retired from the district class as a former Reichswehr team.” The field handball team from Gelb-Rot-Meiningen played in the 1936/37 season as a promoted player in the Gauliga Mitte and was also withdrawn there at the end of the season. What became of the military sports club afterwards is unknown.
The outstanding player in the soldiers' team was goalkeeper Ernst Tzschach from Steinach, who had been invited several times by Reich trainer Sepp Herberger to courses for the German national soccer team, but was never used in an international match. It was not until 1962 that an army sports community was founded again in the garrison town with ASG Vorwärts Meiningen .

Remarks
- ↑ The high number is probably due to the fact that in Meiningen - as was common in many military sports clubs at the time - all soldiers stationed there were automatically members of the club.
