'''Fußball Club Erzgebirge Aue e.V.''', commonly known as simply '''FC Erzgebirge Aue''' or '''Erzgebirge Aue''' ({{IPA|de|ˌeːɐ̯t͡sɡəbɪʁɡə ˈaʊ̯ə|-|De-Erzgebirge Aue.ogg}}), is a [[Football in Germany|German football club]] based in [[Aue-Bad Schlema]], [[Saxony]]. The former East German side was a founding member of the [[3.&nbsp;Liga]] in 2008–09, after being relegated from the [[2. Bundesliga]] in 2007–08. The city of Aue-Bad Schlema has a population of about 20,800, making it one of the smallest cities to ever host a club playing at the second highest level of German football. However, the team attracts supporters from a larger urban area that includes [[Chemnitz]] and [[Zwickau]], whose own football sides ([[Chemnitzer FC|CFC]] and [[FSV Zwickau|FSV]]) are among Aue's traditional rivals.

The '''FC Erzgebirge Aue''' is a [[Germany|German]] [[football (soccer)|football]] [[List of football clubs in Germany|club]] based in [[Aue]], [[Saxony]]. The former East German side is currently playing in the [[2nd Bundesliga (football)|2. Bundesliga]].


==History==
==History==
===1945–1963: East Germany's dominant side===
The club was founded as ''BSG Pneumatik Aue'' on March 4, [[1946]] under the sponsorship of the local construction tool works. Changes in sponsorship led to a change in name to ''Zentra Wismut Aue '' in [[1949]] and then simply to ''SC Wismut Aue'' in [[1951]].
[[File:Erzgebirge Aue Performance Chart.png|260px|thumb|Historical chart of Erzgebirge league performance]]
The club was founded as ''SG Aue'' in 1945, and on 1 November 1948 became ''BSG Pneumatik Aue'' under the sponsorship of the local construction tool works. Changes in sponsorship led to a change in name to ''BSG Zentra Wismut Aue '' in 1949 and then simply to ''BSG Wismut Aue'' in 1951.<ref>*Grüne, Hardy (2001). Vereinslexikon. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag {{ISBN|3-89784-147-9}}</ref>

The club performed well, advancing through third- and second-tier play to the DDR-Oberliga in 1951. BSG Wismut Aue finished as national vice-champions in 1953 losing in a final to [[SG Dynamo Dresden]] by a score of 2–3.
The club performed well and in [[1954]] the [[East Germany|East German]] government decided that the nearby city of [[Chemnitz]] – recently renamed [[Karl Marx]] Stadt – deserved a quality team and so, while the team was never relocated, it was renamed ''SC Wismut Karl Marx Stadt''. It was during this time that the club became dominant in East German football. It captured the [[1955]] [[FDGB Cup|East German Cup]] and followed this up with three national titles in [[1956]], [[1957]], and [[1959]]. It also played for the 1959 East German Cup, but lost 2:3 in a rematch versus [[Dynamo Berlin]] after the clubs had drawn 0:0 in the first game. In [[1963]] Karl Marx Stadt got its own team and Aue's squad recovered its identity as ''BSG Wismut Aue''.


The central sports association SV Wismut founded [[List of East German sport clubs|sports club]] SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt in the nearby city of [[Chemnitz]] – recently renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt – in 1954. The [[East Germany|East German]] government urged that Karl-Marx-Stadt deserved a quality football team and plans were made for the football department of BSG Wismut Aue to move to Karl-Marx-Stadt and be incorporated into the new sports club SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt. However, local miners protested and players threatened to strike, leading to a partial abandonment of the plan.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Sport Under Communism: Behind the East German 'Miracle'|last1=Dennis|first1=Mike|last2=Grix|first2=Jonathan|date=2012|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=978-0-230-22784-2|location=New York|pages=140|oclc=779529923}}</ref> The football department of BSG Wismut Aue was still delegated to ''SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt'', but the team would continue to play their matches at the Otto-Grotewohl-Stadion in Aue.<ref name=":0" />
The club continued to enjoy modest success by staying up in the top-tier [[DDR-Oberliga]], and although it did not win another championship, it holds the record for the most games played by any team in that league. ''Aue'' also earned an appearance in [[1985]] [[UEFA Cup]] tournament but lost in the first round against ''Dnipro''. After [[German reunification]] in [[1990]] the club was renamed ''FC Wismut Aue'' before taking on its current name, ''FC Erzgebirge Aue'' in [[1993]]. The name “Erzgebirge", [[Ore Mountains (Central Europe)|Ore Mountains]] in English, recognizes that the club's home is located in the western part of these mountains.


It was during this time that the club became a dominant force in East German football. They won the 1955 [[FDGB-Pokal|East German Cup]] and followed it up with four [[DDR-Oberliga]] titles in 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1959. They also competed in the 1959 East German Cup final, but lost 2–3 in a replay against [[BFC Dynamo|SC Dynamo Berlin]], following the clubs' 0–0 draw in the final.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesd/ddr59.html|title=East Germany 1959|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=28 December 2019}}</ref> Those successes led to ''Aue'''s participation in the [[UEFA Champions League|European Champion Clubs' Cup]] in 1958, 1959 and 1961.
In the combined football leagues of the newly united Germany, ''Aue'' began play in the ''Amateur Oberliga Nordost/Süd (III)'' which soon became the ''Regionalliga Nord (III)''. After a surprising league title there in [[2003]] it advanced to the 2.Bundesliga where it has so far delivered very respectable mid-table performances.

===1963–1991: With the DDR-Oberliga to the end===
SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt merged with SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt to form SC Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1963. Since SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt had brought their own football department, the football department of SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, once delegated from Aue, got back their independence and could be rejoined with BSG Wismut Aue.

The team continued to enjoy modest success by staying up in the top-tier [[DDR-Oberliga]], and, although it did not win another championship, it holds the record for the most games played by any team in that league. ''Aue'' sits 4th on the all-time DDR-Oberliga list and over the course of thirty-eight years played more games (1,019 matches) than any other East German side. Just behind them, 6th place [[FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt|Rot-Weiß Erfurt]] played 1,001 matches.

BSG Wismut Aue also played in the [[UEFA Cup]] tournament in 1985–86 and 1987–88, going out in the first round against [[FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk|Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk]] in their first appearance and in the second round against Albanian side ''[[Flamurtari Vlorë]]'' in their second.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesd/duitec-wismut86.html|title=The UEFA Cup 1985/86 – BSG Wismut Aue (GDR)|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=28 December 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesd/duitec-wismut88.html|title=The UEFA Cup 1987/88 – BSG Wismut Aue (GDR)|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=28 December 2019}}</ref> After [[German reunification]] in 1990, the club was renamed ''FC Wismut Aue'' before taking on its current name, ''FC Erzgebirge Aue'' in 1993. The name "Erzgebirge", [[Ore Mountains]] in English, recognizes that the club's home is located in the western part of these mountains. Aue was relegated to the [[DDR-Liga]] Staffel B in the 1989–90 season, so it was admitted to the [[NOFV-Oberliga Süd]], which was the fourth tier of the German League between 1991 and 2008, in the 1991–92 season.

===1991–2003: Playing in united Germany===
In the combined football leagues of the newly united Germany, ''Aue'' began playing in the [[NOFV-Oberliga Süd]] (IV). They competed in the [[DFB-Pokal]] for the first time in 1992. With the establishment of the [[Regionalliga Nordost]] (III) in 1994, Aue qualified for the new league. The club was moved to the [[Regionalliga Nord]] in 2000, and after a surprising league title there in 2003, they were promoted to the [[2. Bundesliga]].

===2003–present: 2. Bundesliga===
Following a [[Regionalliga Nord]] title, Erzgebirge Aue were promoted to the [[2. Bundesliga]] where they delivered mid-table performances in their first three seasons, but suffered relegation back to the third tier in 2008.<ref name="Archiv" /><ref name="Fussball" />

Aue became part of the new [[3. Liga]] in the 2008 season. They finished runner-up in the league in their second season there, earning promotion back to the 2. Bundesliga. After a fifth-place finish in their first season back, the club struggled against relegation, finishing in the lower third of the table for the following few seasons.<ref name="Fussball" />

On 6 February 2015, in a 2–0 home victory against [[RB Leipzig]], Aue fans displayed two banners comparing RB Leipzig to [[Nazi Party|Nazis]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelocal.de/20150209/football-club-apologizes-nazi-banners-aue-rb-leipzig|title=Football club condemns fans' Nazi banners|date=9 February 2015|website=thelocal.de|language=en-GB|access-date=29 December 2019}}</ref> Aue were fined £25,000 for it and it was ruled that two blocks in their stadium be closed for 12 months.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/13/erzgebirge-aue-fined-red-bull-leipzig-nazi-banner-bundesliga|title=German side Erzgebirge Aue fined for banner comparing RB Leipzig to Nazis|date=13 March 2015|work=The Guardian|access-date=29 December 2019|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> In the 2014–15 season, they were relegated back to the [[3.

==Reserve team==
The second team side of ''Wismut Aue'' played in the DDR-Liga (II) through the first half of the 1970s and had a single season turn there in 1985–86. They also made more than a half dozen appearances in the early rounds of FDGB Pokal (East German Cup) play between 1968 and 1991.

Since 2008 the club's reserve team, now the FC Erzgebirge Aue II, played in the tier five [[NOFV-Oberliga Süd]] with a fifth-place finish in 2014 as its best result. At the end of the 2014–15 season the team was withdrawn from competitive football despite finishing eighth in the league.<ref name="Daten" >[http://www.fussballdaten.de/oberliga/nofvsued/ NOFV-Oberliga Süd tables and results 1994–present] {{in lang|de}} [[Fussballdaten.de]]. Retrieved 24 February 2014</ref>

The team also made a losing appearance in the 1991 and 2007 [[Saxony Cup]] final.

Fußball Club Erzgebirge Aue e.V., commonly known as simply FC Erzgebirge Aue or Erzgebirge Aue (German pronunciation: [ˌeːɐ̯t͡sɡəbɪʁɡə ˈaʊ̯ə] ⓘ), is a German football club based in Aue-Bad Schlema, Saxony. The former East German side was a founding member of the 3. Liga in 2008–09, after being relegated from the 2. Bundesliga in 2007–08. The city of Aue-Bad Schlema has a population of about 20,800, making it one of the smallest cities to ever host a club playing at the second highest level of German football. However, the team attracts supporters from a larger urban area that includes Chemnitz and Zwickau, whose own football sides (CFC and FSV) are among Aue's traditional rivals.

History

[edit]

1945–1963: East Germany's dominant side

[edit]
Historical chart of Erzgebirge league performance

The club was founded as SG Aue in 1945, and on 1 November 1948 became BSG Pneumatik Aue under the sponsorship of the local construction tool works. Changes in sponsorship led to a change in name to BSG Zentra Wismut Aue in 1949 and then simply to BSG Wismut Aue in 1951.[1]

Historical logo of Wismut Aue

The club performed well, advancing through third- and second-tier play to the DDR-Oberliga in 1951. BSG Wismut Aue finished as national vice-champions in 1953 losing in a final to SG Dynamo Dresden by a score of 2–3.

The central sports association SV Wismut founded sports club SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt in the nearby city of Chemnitz – recently renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt – in 1954. The East German government urged that Karl-Marx-Stadt deserved a quality football team and plans were made for the football department of BSG Wismut Aue to move to Karl-Marx-Stadt and be incorporated into the new sports club SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt. However, local miners protested and players threatened to strike, leading to a partial abandonment of the plan.[2] The football department of BSG Wismut Aue was still delegated to SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, but the team would continue to play their matches at the Otto-Grotewohl-Stadion in Aue.[2]

It was during this time that the club became a dominant force in East German football. They won the 1955 East German Cup and followed it up with four DDR-Oberliga titles in 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1959. They also competed in the 1959 East German Cup final, but lost 2–3 in a replay against SC Dynamo Berlin, following the clubs' 0–0 draw in the final.[3] Those successes led to Aue's participation in the European Champion Clubs' Cup in 1958, 1959 and 1961.

1963–1991: With the DDR-Oberliga to the end

[edit]

SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt merged with SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt to form SC Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1963. Since SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt had brought their own football department, the football department of SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt, once delegated from Aue, got back their independence and could be rejoined with BSG Wismut Aue.

The team continued to enjoy modest success by staying up in the top-tier DDR-Oberliga, and, although it did not win another championship, it holds the record for the most games played by any team in that league. Aue sits 4th on the all-time DDR-Oberliga list and over the course of thirty-eight years played more games (1,019 matches) than any other East German side. Just behind them, 6th place Rot-Weiß Erfurt played 1,001 matches.

BSG Wismut Aue also played in the UEFA Cup tournament in 1985–86 and 1987–88, going out in the first round against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in their first appearance and in the second round against Albanian side Flamurtari Vlorë in their second.[4][5] After German reunification in 1990, the club was renamed FC Wismut Aue before taking on its current name, FC Erzgebirge Aue in 1993. The name "Erzgebirge", Ore Mountains in English, recognizes that the club's home is located in the western part of these mountains. Aue was relegated to the DDR-Liga Staffel B in the 1989–90 season, so it was admitted to the NOFV-Oberliga Süd, which was the fourth tier of the German League between 1991 and 2008, in the 1991–92 season.

1991–2003: Playing in united Germany

[edit]

In the combined football leagues of the newly united Germany, Aue began playing in the NOFV-Oberliga Süd (IV). They competed in the DFB-Pokal for the first time in 1992. With the establishment of the Regionalliga Nordost (III) in 1994, Aue qualified for the new league. The club was moved to the Regionalliga Nord in 2000, and after a surprising league title there in 2003, they were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga.

2003–present: 2. Bundesliga

[edit]

Following a Regionalliga Nord title, Erzgebirge Aue were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga where they delivered mid-table performances in their first three seasons, but suffered relegation back to the third tier in 2008.[6][7]

Aue became part of the new 3. Liga in the 2008 season. They finished runner-up in the league in their second season there, earning promotion back to the 2. Bundesliga. After a fifth-place finish in their first season back, the club struggled against relegation, finishing in the lower third of the table for the following few seasons.[7]

On 6 February 2015, in a 2–0 home victory against RB Leipzig, Aue fans displayed two banners comparing RB Leipzig to Nazis.[8] Aue were fined £25,000 for it and it was ruled that two blocks in their stadium be closed for 12 months.[9] In the 2014–15 season, they were relegated back to the 3. Liga,[10] only to be promoted back to the 2. Bundesliga the following season.[11] The 2016–17 season saw Aue finish 14th,[12] whilst they finished 16th in the 2017–18 season.[13] They finished 14th in the 2018–19 season.[14]

Reserve team

[edit]

The second team side of Wismut Aue played in the DDR-Liga (II) through the first half of the 1970s and had a single season turn there in 1985–86. They also made more than a half dozen appearances in the early rounds of FDGB Pokal (East German Cup) play between 1968 and 1991.

Since 2008 the club's reserve team, now the FC Erzgebirge Aue II, played in the tier five NOFV-Oberliga Süd with a fifth-place finish in 2014 as its best result. At the end of the 2014–15 season the team was withdrawn from competitive football despite finishing eighth in the league.[15]

The team also made a losing appearance in the 1991 and 2007 Saxony Cup final.
