From SG Anklam to BSG Lok Anklam

After all sports clubs in the Soviet occupation zone were broken up after the Second World War, SG Anklam was re-established in 1945 . After the system of company sports associations was introduced , the local consumer cooperative took over SG in 1949 and converted it into BSG Konsum . After the founding of the central sports association "Empor" for the trade and supply sector, the name was changed to BSG Empor Anklam in 1952 . As usual, the BSG had a wide range of sports to offer, but beyond the region only roller skaters and soccer players were known. The roller skater Dirk Mademann was multiple GDR champion between 1977 and 1988 .

The Anklam football players took part in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania championships from 1946 and reached fourth place in the Vorpommern-Ost relay this season, but could not qualify for the championship games in 1947/48. In 1952 Empor Anklam was one of the founding members of the newly created third-class district league Neubrandenburg and took third place in its opening season. The BSG, which was renamed Lok Anklam after the takeover by the Reichsbahn as a carrier company in 1960, subsequently played another 25 seasons in the district league and, as a runner-up, missed promotion to a higher division several times. It was not until the 1979/80 season that it was enough to win the district championship before the second representation of Vorwärts Neubrandenburg and the associated promotion to the second-rate GDR league .

In their first second division season 1980/81 the BSG Lok could only secure relegation on the last day of the game with a 3-1 win over BSG CM Veritas Wittenberge , but failed significantly in the following season 1981/82 with only nine season points. Then Lok Anklam played again in the district league until the end of the GDR game operations in 1991. Last season the team only reached 15th place.

Mergers from ESV to VFC

After the collapse of the East German company sports associations, members of the previous BSG Lok founded the successor club ESV Lok in 1990 , shortly afterwards renamed FV Lok Anklam . In 1998, the FV Lok was promoted to the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Association League , which was held until 2000 with secured midfield positions. After the 2000/01 season, Lok Anklam withdrew his team from the game operations of the association league and merged with the soccer department of SV Grün-Weiß Anklam to form VfB Anklam . From that time on, VfB played exclusively in the Landesliga Ost. At the beginning of the 2008/09 season there was another merger, VfB merged with Club 98 Anklam to form the new VFC Anklam . The VFC took over the place of the VfB in the seventh-class Landesliga Ost. In 2011 he was promoted to the sixth class association league Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In 2016 you had to relegate back to the national league.
