I travelled to Leipzig for the 2023 Sachsenpokal final between 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig and Chemnitz, to visit a football team that was on my bucket list; Lokomotive Leipzig.
Lokomotive Leipzig were founded as VFB Leipzig in 1893, and were one of the founding members of the German FA. Moreover, they were in fact the first ever German football champions, winning the silverware in 1903.
Between 1949 - 1990, when Germany was split between West & East Germany, Lok Leipzig were arguably one of the top dogs in the East German football league.
They were one of 11 focus clubs (introduced in 1966 by the East German government to improve football talent in the country), runners up to the league 3 times, and winners of the FDGB Pokal (East German Cup) 5 times.
In regards to their performance in European competitions, they were able to knock out the great Eusebio's Benfica in the 1966 Inter Cities Fairs cup, winning 4-3 on aggregate, and drawing a crowd of up to 80,000 people.
Furthermore, in 1987, they faced Bordeaux at home in the Semi Final of the Cup Winners Cup, where a crowd of up to 110,000 people saw them ... lose 1-0. Before winning the second leg on penalties to become 1 of only 3 former East German clubs to ever reach a European Cup final.
Since the Re-unification of Germany, while they did spend the 1993/94 season in the Bundesliga, they continuously declined down the leagues of German football, before unfortunately declaring bankruptcy in both 2000 & 2004.
Reformed in 2004, they are now regulars in the German 4th division.
A team with some nice history that has almost been forgotten about?
I hope you enjoy this football vlog.

Das haben aber die Chemiker rausgehauen, als man 1954 - 1963 unter dem Namen SC Lokomotive fungierte. Das Transparent war 1957 in Chemnitz beim Pokalfinale. Ihr wart zu der Zeit der SC Rotation, also nicht mit fremden Federn schmücken!

Chemie Leipzig is the bigger giant....Look to the AKS.....
In leipzig nur die BSG chemie leipzig und in Sachsen-Anhalt nur der 1. FC Magdeburg.🤝🏻
You should have visited Chemie Leipzig. Both clubs are of course way better than red bull, and every person who supports one of them deservers respect to stay loyal to their clubs, many people in Leipzig switched to Red Bull. All in all the history of Chemie Leipzig is in my opinion way more interesting, as they were always a club different from the others. And the atmosphere in the stadium is better, they have more active supporting fans...Lok instead is known for it's large and sadly right winged hooligan culture.
There has not been a hooligan and right wing problem with Lok Leipzig in a long time. It's time you bury your prejudice. Chemie Leipzig like to portray their arch rivals as Nazis, to make themself look like the "good club". I have been left leaning since my youth and have been a fan of Lok for 35 years, and I have to say that I strongly dislike when fans of a left or alternative scene club use their politics to discredit other clubs. The large majority of football fans doesn't want to see politics in stadiums (or their social media presence).
@@JohnSmith-kd6ipHör auf dich selbst zu belügen.
you have to go to bsg chemie leipzig they have much better fans trust me with big choreos and pyroshows and good support
But with gay fans.
I'd rather go to Somalia

Nur der RBL ⚪️🔴💪🏻
Did you know that Lok's eternal rival, Chemie Leipzig, plays in the same league but has 700 more visitors on average? And the atmosphere there is better anyway.
And the earth ist a disc. Did you know: Last season visit more people the matches in Probstheida than in Leutzsch. Statistic is a bitch.
Da haben wir wohl nen Chemie Fan/Sympathisanten? 😂
@@Kevinn1953 Genius!
@@FernadodelaRoja der letzte Satz war halt ein wenig auffällig haha 😂
Aber dass Chemie so viel mehr Zuschauer hat wusste ich gar nicht. Das Stadion ist ja sogar deutlich kleiner oder?
@@Kevinn1953 unabhängig davon welchen der beiden Vereine man supportet, sind das halt einfach Fakten.
Chemie Leipzig is a way nicer club than 1. FC Lok Leipzig
With way nice you mean gay right? 😂
In Leipzig nur Chemie !
Husch husch, zurück ins Unterholz kleine Schabe.
