Lineage

The club across eras, ruled one continuous club.

  1. VfB Leipzig (1896-1945)
  2. SG Probstheida (1946-1950)
  3. BSG Erich Zeigner Probstheida (1950-1953)
  4. BSG Einheit Ost (1953-1954)
  5. SC Rotation Leipzig (1954-1963)
  6. SC Leipzig (1963-1966)

  8. VfB Leipzig (1991-2004)

The club formed as VfB Leipzig on 13 May 1896, was dissolved in 1945 and re-formed in 1946 as SG Probstheida, and after GDR-era renames became 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig (1966) and VfB Leipzig again (1991). VfB went bankrupt in 2004; a fans' club re-established in December 2003 as 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig carries the lineage on.
