The sports club Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt was a sports club of the GDR sports system in Karl-Marx-Stadt, today's Chemnitz . It existed from 1954 to 1963.
history
In order to enable a targeted development of high-performance sport, the German Sports Committee decided in 1954/55 to found sports clubs (SC), whose sections were to function as performance bases for various types of sport. SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt was founded on November 6, 1954. It was the performance center of the sports association (SV) Wismut, in which the company sports associations for uranium mining in the GDR were combined. The club was run by the SDAG Wismut , which had its headquarters in Karl-Marx-Stadt. This was ultimately the decisive factor for the sports club to settle in the Saxon industrial city. The BSG Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, which was successful in badminton and later in women's football, was independent of the club .
The sports club was divided into several competitive sports departments, so-called sections. Successful athletes or entire teams who had previously often belonged to a company sports community were delegated there . The SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt and its actors became German champions of the GDR in various sports, including soccer, athletics, judo and figure skating.
When the sports club system was restructured in the early 1960s, it was decided that one sports club per district would be sufficient. The SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt, which was renamed SC Karl-Marx-Stadt , was designated as the new performance center of the district . After less than nine years, Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt was dissolved in 1963. Some successful athletes from SC Wismut joined the new district sports club, others were integrated with their sections into company sports associations and thus lost their high sponsorship status.
Sections
Soccer
When the GDR sports club was founded, it was planned, among other things, that the focus should also be on football. Since SV Wismut did not have a football section in Karl-Marx-Stadt, it was decided to affiliate the football section of the BSG Wismut Aue company sports association , which had a league team , to SC Wismut. This decision led to violent protests in the BSG general assembly and the population of Au, so that the sports club admitted to allow the football section to continue playing in the Otto-Grotewohl stadium in Au .
The players of the BSG Wismut, who had reached 4th place in the upper league in 1953/54, played in an away game against ZSK Vorwärts Berlin for the first time as SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt on November 17, 1954 and lost with 2 : 3. After SC Wismut had finished fourth in the first half of the 1954/55 season and coach Karl Dittes had to do without the previous regular players Manfred Fuchs and Friedhold Schüller , SV Wismut arranged for the players Horst Freitag , Manfred Kaiser and Bringfried Müller to change from the second class GDR league club BSG Wismut Gera to SC Wismut. The 1954/55 season ended Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt in the Oberliga as runner-up one point behind SC Turbine Erfurt and then won with a 3-2 win after extra time over SC Empor Rostock in the final for the FDGB Cup already his first title. In the transition round to change to the calendar season, carried out in the fall of 1955, the SC Wismut under the new coach Fritz Gödicke played its increased playing strength and finished the round as the front runner. In the season of 1956 the sports club went with a squad that had remained almost unchanged since 1955, but won its first championship title two points ahead of the surprise team SC Aktivist Brieske-Senftenberg . Two further championships followed in 1957 and 1959, to which the newly added national players Dieter Erler , Klaus Thiele and Konrad Wagner also contributed. With his three championship titles, Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt also qualified three times for the European Cup . While the SC was eliminated in the first main round in 1957 and 1960 after the preliminary round, the team made it to the quarter-finals in the 1958/59 competition . After two draws against Young Boys Bern , SC Wismut lost the playoff with 1: 2.
One of the most memorable games of SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt is the friendly against 1. FC Kaiserslautern , the two-time West German champions in 1951 and 1953, which was played on October 6, 1956 in front of over 100,000 spectators in the Leipzig Central Stadium. The game, in which SC Wismut competed with five national players and 1. FCK with five world champions from 1954, ended with a 5-3 victory for Kaiserslautern. The highlight was Fritz Walter's goal of the century, which he scored in flight with a hoe.
In July 1963 the SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt was dissolved, the football section officially returned to the BSG Wismut Aue. The players Dieter Erler, Manfred Hambeck and Albrecht Müller joined the SC Karl-Marx-Stadt , which was formed as the new football focus of the district. SC Wismut had used 47 players in the league games in the nine seasons including the transition round in 1955, of which Bringfried Müller (214), Manfred Kaiser (209) and Siegfried Wolf (171) had played the most appearances. 24 players entered the scorers list, the most successful were Willy Tröger (76), Kurt Viertel (41) and Dieter Erler (36).

Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt took over the league starting place for the team from the Crimmitschau suburb of Frankenhausen and seamlessly continued their successes. In the 1950s, the Karl-Marx-Städter were second behind permanent champions Dynamo Weißwasser (today Lausitzer Füchse ), but from 1959 only third at best behind SC Dynamo Berlin . Local competitor SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt also had an ice hockey team that emerged in 1956 from the BSG Motor West Karl-Marx-Stadt section .
