Sports community (GDR)

Sports communities in the GDR ( SG for short ) were created as early as 1945 with the break-up and expropriation of bourgeois clubs in the Soviet Zone . With the restructuring that followed, the reorganization of company sports on a production basis , the sports clubs almost completely disappeared from the GDR sports sector . Almost all loose communities were restructured from 1949 within the respective sports association and the responsible sponsoring company into a company sports community.

In soccer, small numbers of loose sports communities continued to exist analogously until 1990, but played no role whatsoever behind company sports communities or sports and soccer clubs at the sporting level , and without financial support from various companies, they had no chance in the lower leagues. In the football field, various sports communities have appeared with SG Sosa , Concordia Wilhelmsruh , SG Hohenschönhausen or SG Grünau , some of which even introduced district championships and briefly rose to the second-rate GDR league or third-rate II GDR league .

Until the eighties, most of the remaining sports communities were also converted into company sports communities.

The Dynamo sports communities were also called sports communities, but they belonged to the Dynamo sports association and were therefore not loose communities.
