Structural development

In 1908, SV Elster was founded in Elsterwerda in 1908, and FC Prussia was founded a year later in what is now the Biehla district . After the Second World War, as in the entire Soviet occupation zone in Elsterwerda, all sports clubs were dissolved. Loosely organized sports communities such as SG Rot-Sport Elsterwerda and SG Biehla were founded to maintain sports traffic. After the introduction of the system of company sports associations (BSG) in East Germany, the sports associations in Elsterwerda were run by the BSG sponsoring companiesaccepted. The Reichsbahnbetriebswerk founded the BSG Reichsbahn in 1948, renamed BSG Lokomotive in 1953. SG Biehla, which was renamed SG Schwarz-Gelb in 1948, was initially taken over by the consumer cooperative in 1949 and then by ELFA-Maschinenwerk on June 21, 1951. This BSG started under the name Motor Elsterwerda-Biehla. Both company sports associations had to set up several sports sections for their members, but almost only the soccer teams were publicly noticed. In 1974 the sports structure was pooled in Elsterwerda. The company sports associations Lok and Motor were merged to form TSG Elsterwerda, which was supported by several sponsoring companies.

When the sponsoring companies stopped their funding after the economic changes resulting from the political change in 1989, the TSG was dissolved in 1990. On June 1, 1990, members of the soccer section founded FC Rot-Weiß Elsterwerda. This went into bankruptcy in 2006 and the soccer teams joined SV Elster 08 Elsterwerda. When the SV Elster soccer team was relegated from the 1st district class in 2010, the club took up merger negotiations with the neighboring SV Preußen Biela , which on April 29, 2011 led to the merger to form SV Preußen Elsterwerda.

Development of the sport of football

Up to the time after the Second World War, football only played a subordinate regional role in Elsterwerda. Only with the formation of the GDR districts did the BSG Motor Elsterwerda-Biehla move into greater focus than they were among the founding teams of the Cottbus district football class. In 1961, he was promoted to the then fourth-class district league Cottbus , which had to be left again in 1964 because tenth place was not enough for the qualification of the league reduced to one season. Thereafter, the BSG and the TSG rose four times for only one year each; it was not until 1981 that the TSG managed to establish itself permanently in the now third-rate district league until the end of the GDR football operation in 1990. In 1984 TSG won the district championship and took part in the promotion games to the GDR league . With only one win in four games, the team only ended up fourth and missed promotion.

In addition to the district championship, TSG also won the district soccer cup in 1984. So she had qualified for the GDR-wide FDGB soccer cup competition 1984/85. In the first round, the district league team Vorwärts Kamenz was defeated 5-1 at home. In the second round, TSG received the second division team Stahl Brandenburg and dropped out of the competition after a 1-0 defeat.

In the DFB game operation , the FC Rot-Weiß started in the then fourth-class Association League Brandenburg . For four years the class could be held, but the 1996/97 season ended the FC far behind with only six points and a goal difference of 19: 111 as relegated. Red-White rose again from the regional league in 2000 and the 7th regional class could only be held for two years. After the bankruptcy, SV Elster 08 had to start again in the district class, in 2008 it rose to the 1st district class (10th league). In 2010 Elster 08 landed on the 14th and penultimate place in the 1st district class, which would have meant relegation to the 2nd district class. Even before the start of the new football season, the company's own football team was withdrawn as part of the merger negotiations with SV Preußen Biela.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ The reference in individual publications that TSG took up the position of Chemie Elsterwerda between 1984 and 1988 seems doubtful. There should have been major changes in the allocation of the sponsoring companies, which was unusual at the time.
