History
editThe club was founded in 1948 as BSG Motor Heidenau and took up their current name after German reunification. They have mostly played in amateur competition, but their second-place finish in the Landesliga Sachsen in 2011–12 saw them qualify for the NOFV-Oberliga Süd for the first time. In 2014 they finished at the bottom and were sent back to Sachsenliga.[1][2]
At the end of the 2015–16 season the club withdrew from the Sachsenliga for financial reasons, €320,000 in debt, and withdrew to the Landesklasse below.[3]
