history

The history of gymnastics in Hohenstein-Ernstthal goes back to the winter of 1845/1846, when citizens of both towns founded a gymnastics club, from which the Ernstthalers left by founding their own club in 1847. The imminent official ban was circumvented in 1856 by setting up a gymnast fire brigade in Ernstthal.

Football has been played at VfL since 1912, but the history of the first 20 years is largely in the dark. In season 1937/38 the team Herbstmeister was the district league, but could in the second half not claim and lost more than 22,000 spectators to eventual champion Chemnitzer BC with 1: 0, which in the following season promotion to the Gauliga Saxony succeeded .

After all clubs were banned in the immediate post-war period, the sports community (SG) Hohenstein-Ernstthal was formed, which in 1950 had to be renamed the company sports community (BSG) Sachsenring . The sections fencing, choir, soccer, handball, athletics, chess, swimming, tennis, gymnastics and winter sports were offered before a little later in April 1951 the division into the BSG Stahl and the BSG Progress Hohenstein-Ernstthal . BSG Stahl was renamed BSG Motor Hohenstein-Ernstthal in August 1953.

Even if the pre-war level was no longer achieved, the two large sections football and gymnastics were able to record remarkable successes. The gymnastics festivals with athletes' ball and stage gymnastics were a fixture in the region's sports calendar until the end of the 1950s. In footballing terms, the A-youth won the district championship in 1951 and therefore played for the title of Saxony champion. Although she was denied this title, there were a remarkable 1000 spectators in the 4-0 home win against the team from Weißwasser .

With the support of the companies, the stadium on the Pfaffenberg was inaugurated in 1957 as part of the national reconstruction project . There, on the last game day in 1964, 3200 spectators watched how BSG Motor played against Callenberg for the top of the table and the promotion from the district class to the district league. With a 1-0 lead, the home team conceded the equalizer five minutes before the end and had to bury all hopes for promotion. After another good year, the rise succeeded in the 1969/70 season, followed in the following two years by the prompt relegation and renewed promotion to the district league. After relegated again after the 1972/73 season, he was once again promoted to the district league in 1980, before he began sporting descent of the team in 1983, which resulted in several years of district class.

From the seventies onwards, there was an increasing politicization of club life, so that the BSG - on paper - grew to over 1000 members. During the upheaval at the time of reunification , the members decided to orient themselves by name to the successes before the Second World War. On October 2, 1990, VfL 05 Hohenstein-Ernstthal was entered in the register of associations.

The club was able to record successes again in football, after the 1993/94 season the first team rose from the district league, and in 2005 it was promoted to the district league. Successes could also be recorded in youth work, so that these teams also played in the district league. At the end of the 2007/08 season they were promoted to the Saxon state league, ten years later (2018) the team was promoted to the fifth-class Oberliga Nordost , but had to retire there in February 2020.
