FC Sachsen Leipzig is a Germany soccer List of football clubs in Germany playing in Leipzig, Saxony. The roots of FC Sachsen Leipzig go back to 1899 and the founding of
Britannia Leipzig. Following World War I, a 1919 merger with
FC Hertha 05 Leipzig created
Leipziger Sportverein 1899. Another predecessor side,
SV Tura Leipzig, was formed in 1932 and just six years later, in 1938, joined with
1899 to create
Tura 1899 Leipzig.
History
Of these early clubs, only Britannia was of any note competitively, playing in senior level city competition from 1908 to 1910. They re-emerged there in 1922 as
SV, but finished at the bottom of the table the next season.
German football was re-organized in 1933 under the Third Reich into 16 premier divisions. Newcomer
Tura 32 had been competing in the top flight Gauliga Sachsen since 1936 and following its merger with
SV, continued in the top flight as
SV Tura 1899. The team escaped relegation in 1939 only because of the restructuring of the Gauliga Sachsen into two divisions. However, by 1942 FC Sachsen Leipzig's continued lacklustre performance saw them in last place and relegated from the top flight. They earned a return in 1943, but World War II made play untenable and the Gauliga Sachsen broke up into a number of small local city-based leagues.
Tura merged with
SpVgg Leipzig to briefly form the wartime side
KSG Tura / SpVgg Leizig.
Following the war a number of new sports and football clubs were formed, often built around the cores of pre-war clubs:
SG Leipzig-Leutzsch was the closest descendant of the old
Tura side. In March 1949,
Leutzsch,
SG Lindenau-Hafen,
SG Lindenau-Aue,
SG Leipzig-Mitte, and
SG Böhlitz-Ehrenberg were united to form
ZSG Industrie Leipzig. In August the next year, FC Sachsen Leipzig was re-named
BSG Chemie Leipzig.
Chemie was dissolved in September 1954 when its players were assigned to
Lokomotive Leipzig. In 1963, East German football was re-organized with a view towards fostering the development of talent for the country's national side. This time
Lok was disassembled to help re-create FC Sachsen Leipzig
BSG Chemie Leipzig. At the end of May 1990, FC Sachsen Leipzig was re-named
FC Grün-Weiß Leipzig and in quick succession merged with
SV Chemie Böhlen (formerly
BSG Chemie Böhlen), forming the current club in August that year.
FC Sachsen Leipzig competes in the fourth tier Regionalliga Nord and plays its home matches at the Zentralstadion in Leipzig, which is one of twelve 2006 FIFA World Cup venues. The stadium is the only World Cup venue in the former East Germany.
In March 2009, FC Sachsen Leipzig had to declare insolvency for a second time in its history, already having done so in 2001. Sachsen Leipzig thereby becomes the first team relegated from the Regionalliga Nord in 2008-09.
BSG Chemie Leipzig reformed
A
BSG Chemie Leipzig club which claims the traditions of the old side, especially the spirit of the 1963-64 championship team, has been reformed. FC Sachsen Leipzig had to restart at the lowest level, playing in the
3rd Kreisklasse Leipzig - Staffel 1 in 2008-09.
