[edit] History
Established following World War II as Sportgemeinde Markranstädt, the club took up play in the top flight regional Landesliga Sachsen/Leipzig in the Soviet occupied eastern part of the country and earned a first place finish in the 1947-48 season. Renamed SG Glück-Auf Markranstädt, the team slipped to consecutive seventh place finishes in its next two campaigns.[1] The club then disappeared into lower tier play in East Germany and, like most other clubs there, underwent a succession of name changes over the years: BSG Stahl Markranstädt (1951-1952); BSG Motor Markranstädt (1952-1958); BSG Turbine Markranstädt (1959-1984); BSG Motor Markranstädt (1984-1988); and BSG Turbine Markranstädt (1988-1990).[2]
Following German reunification in 1990 Turbine adopted its current identity as Spiel- und Sportverein Markranstädt. The merger of the football competitions of the two Germanys saw SSV placed in the Landesliga Sachsen (V) where they would stay until relegated in 1993. The team re-bounded to return to fifth tier play in 1995, but was again immediately sent down and did not return to the Landesliga until 1999. Following their 2006 divisional championship Markranstädt was promoted to the NOFV-Oberliga Süd (IV).
