HistoryEdit
Early years (1950–1954)Edit
The city of Dresden played a significant part in German football before and during World War II. Local football team Dresdner SC won the national championships in 1943 and 1944. The occupying Allied authorities dissolved organizations across Germany, including sports clubs like Dresdner SC, after the war as part of the process of denazification. Dresdner SC was reestablished in 1946 as SG Friedrichstadt. However, the eastern part of Germany, including Dresden, was under Soviet control, and the sports club was considered too bourgeois by authorities.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
SG Friedrichstadt met ZSG Horst Zwickau at the Heinz-Steyer-Stadion in Dresden on 16 April 1950. The match would practically decide which of the two teams that would win the East German championship in the 1949–50 season.Template:Vague The match was attended by 60,000 spectators at the Heinz-Steyer-Stadion.<ref name="Tor!p225226">Template:Cite book</ref> The SED First Secretary Walter Ulbricht and his entourage were also present.<ref name="UlbrichtimHeinzSteyer">Template:Cite news</ref> ZSG Horch Zwickau had been founded only one year earlier and embodied the form of organization that the SED and the state leadership wanted to promote for the sports movement they propagated.<ref name="UlbrichtimHeinzSteyer"/> ZSG Horch Zwickau won the match 1–5 and became East German champions. The match was characterized by a very physical play from ZSG Horch Zwickau and several controversial referee decisions in favor of ZSG Horch Zwickau. The players of SG Friedrichstadt left the pitch without greeting their opponents and thousands of angry Dresden spectators invaded the pitch.<ref name="Tor!p225226"/><ref name="UnderCommunismP136">Template:Cite book</ref> East German sports authorities took these events as a pretext to dissolve SG Friedrichstadt and delegate the players to BSG VVB Tabak Dresden.<ref name="history-50s" />
The city needed a new, ideologically safe representative in the DDR-Oberliga. BSG VVB Tabak Dresden was planned to take over the place of SG Friedrichstadt in the DDR-Oberliga. However, most players from the former team of SG Friedrichstadt, including player-coach Helmut Schön, did not agree with the move to BSG VVB Tabak Dresden and left Dresden to join Hertha BSC or other clubs under the German Football Association (DFB).<ref name="Tor!p225226"/> To save the place in the DDR-Oberliga for Dresden, the place was instead given to SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden.
SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden played in the lower-tier Stadtliga Dresden at the time of the dissolution of SG Fredrichsstadt.<ref name="3LigaGeschichteDD">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> <ref name="SportbuzzerSpüren">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden was thus able to enter DDR-Oberliga without having to progress through divisions.<ref name="UnderCommunismP136"/> To keep its place in the DDR-Oberliga, the team of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden would be reinforced with players from all over the country.<ref name="3LigaGeschichteDD"/>
SV Deutsche Volkzpolizei Dresden was originally founded as SG Volkspolizei Dresden in 1948.<ref name="GesternHeut">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="SportbuzzerSpüren"/> The head of the Volkspolizei Kurt Fischer ordered the founding of a central sports association for all sports communities of the Volkspolizei around East Germany on 20 June 1950. The new sports association was named SV Deutsche Volkspolizei.<ref name="DNNDresdenfeiert">Template:Cite news</ref> SG Volkspolizei Dresden was thus incorporated into the new sports association and renamed SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden.<ref name="GesternHeut"/> The order from Fischer also contained the passage that the best football players in the sports communities of the Volkspollizei should be concentrated in the now first-tier SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden.<ref name="DNNDresdenfeiert"/>
The 40 best players of the various Volkspolizei teams in East Germany were then brought together for a training session in Forst in July 1950. Coaches Template:Ill and Template:Ill picked out 17 players from 11 different cities who were delegated to Dresden to form the team.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Tor!p225226"/><ref name="GesternHeut"/><ref name="history-50s" />Template:Refn SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam lost its five top performers to Dresden, including Herbert Schoen, Johannes Matzen and Günter Schröter, and was severely weakened.<ref name="UnderCommunismP136"/><ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Dead link</ref> SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden quickly established itself as a forceTemplate:Tone inline in East German football. The team won its first title in the 1951–52 FDGB-Pokal.<ref name="history-50s"/>
The new sports association SV Dynamo was founded on 27 March 1953. SV Dynamo was formed from SV Deutsche Volkspolizei and the sports communities of the Secretariat of State Security, commonly known as the Stasi. The president of SV Dynamo was Erich Mielke, at the time deputy head of the Stasi.<ref name="guardian">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> SV Deutsche Volkspolizei was incorporated into SV Dynamo and reformed as Dynamo Dresden on 12 April 1953. The official founding date of Dynamo Dresden has since been 12 April 1953. Shortly after this, the club claimed its first league title.<ref name="history-50s" />
However, success proved to be the club's undoing. The team Dynamo Dresden was relocated to Berlin in November 1954 to play for the new sports club SC Dynamo Berlin in the DDR-Oberliga.<ref name="history-50s" /><ref name="GFL">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The remainder of Dynamo Dresden was left to regroup in the second-tier DDR-Liga, taking over the place in the DDR-Liga, as well as points and goals, from dissolved SC DHFK Leipzig.<ref name="history-50s" /> Political factors and pressure from Erich Mielke were probablyTemplate:According to whom the main reasons behind the relocation of Dynamo Dresden to Berlin.<ref name="UnderCommunismP137">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="GFL"/> The relocation was meant to provide the capital with a competitive team that could rival Hertha BSC, Blau-Weiß 1890 Berlin and Tennis Borussia Berlin, which were still popular in East Berlin and drew football fans to West Berlin.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="UnderCommunismP137"/><ref name="GFL"/>
Re-emergence (1954–1969)Edit
Dynamo Dresden was left with a team composed of youth and reserve players and had dropped to the fourth tier by 1957, playing in the local Bezirksliga.<ref name="Tor!p226">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="history-50s" /> Dynamo Dresden began to climb the divisions, though,<ref name="history-50s" /><ref name="history-60s">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and by 1962 they were back in the DDR-Oberliga,<ref name="history-60s" /> and although this first season ended in relegation, they bounced backTemplate:Tone inline immediately.<ref name="history-60s" /> They recovered equally well from another relegation in 1968,<ref name="history-60s" /> and remained in the Oberliga from 1969 until its dissolution in 1991. This relegation came after a fourth-place finish in 1967, which enabled Dynamo's first forayTemplate:Tone inline into European football – they entered the 1967–68 Fairs Cup, where they were eliminated by Scottish side Rangers in the first round.<ref name="history-60s"/>
East German football was reorganized during the 1965–66 season. Ten football departments were separated from their sports clubs to create ten dedicated football clubs (Template:Langx) (FC). The best talents in the country were meant to be concentrated in the new dedicated football clubs, with the object to bring stability to the game at the top level and to develop players for the national team.<ref name="GFL"/> It had long been planned to merge Dynamo Dresden with the football department of sports club SC Einheit Dresden, to concentrate the best footballer in the regional district in one club. This had been done in Leipzig. However, a tug of war developed between Erich Mielke and the SED First Secretary in Bezirk Dresden Werner Krolikowski. Erich Mielke did not want to give up Dynamo Dresden, while Krolikowski advocated for the establishment of a civil football club. The stalemate continued for one and a half years. The football department of SC Einheit Dresden was reorganized as FSV Lokomotive Dresden on 12 January 1966.<ref name="FRJubiläumswelle">Template:Cite news</ref> Dynamo Dresden was then declared a regional district center of excellence (Template:Langx) in Bezirk Dresden by the regional district board (Template:Langx) of the DTSB on 5 August 1968.<ref name="PleilMielkep17">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="FRJubiläumswelle"/> The club could now draw on the best players in the whole regional district.<ref name="PleilMielkep17"/>
Dynamo Dresden would enjoy the same funding and the same privileges as a designated football club, although it retained its designation as a "Sports Community" (Template:Langx) (SG).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Without this support, the club's future success would have been hard to achieve.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Glory years (1969–1978)Edit
During the 1970s, Dynamo established themselves as one of the top teams in East Germany, under the management of Walter Fritzsch. They won five league titles (1971, 1973, 1976, 1977 and 1978),<ref name="honours" /> and two cups, (1971 and 1977).<ref name="honours" /> They battled with 1. FC Magdeburg for domination of the league, and became the most popular team in the country, regularly drawing crowds of 25,000, around three times what other clubs were attracting.<ref name="GFL" /> They also began to establish themselves as a presence in European football – they played in European competition every year during the 1970s, and eliminated some big names – beating FC Porto, Juventus<ref name="history-70s">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Benfica on their way to four quarter-final finishes.<ref name="europe">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> During this time Dynamo came up against West German opposition for the first time, losing against Bayern Munich 7–6 on aggregate in the last 16 of the 1973–74 European Cup.<ref name="history-70s" /> Dynamo Dresden lost the first leg 4–3 away in Munich and managed a 3–3 draw home at the Dynamo-Stadion. The Stasi had tapped the salon at the Interhotel Newa in Dresden where the Bayern Munich team held their final meeting before the second leg. A message with information about the line-up of Bayern Munich was quickly sent by motorcycle to the coach of Dynamo Dresden Walter Fritzsch in preparation for the match.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On three occasions they were eliminated by English side Liverpool, twice in the UEFA Cup and once in the European Cup,<ref name="europe" /> and each time Liverpool went on to win the competition. On three other occasions in the 1970s, Dynamo were eliminated by the team that eventually won the tournament — Leeds United in the 1970–71 Fairs Cup, Ajax in the 1971–72 European Cup, and Bayern Munich in the 1973–74 European Cup. In 1973, Hans-Jürgen Kreische was the first Dynamo Dresden player to be named East German Footballer of the Year, and was followed by Hans-Jürgen Dörner in 1977.<ref name="POTY">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Kreische was the league's leading goalscorer on four occasions,<ref name="topscorer">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and was named in East Germany's squad for the 1974 World Cup, along with teammate Siegmar Wätzlich.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Capital dominance (1978–1991)Edit
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}
BFC Dynamo stood out among other clubs within SV Dynamo. The club was located at the frontline of the Cold War and was a representative of the capital of East Germany.

Of all clubs, Dynamo Dresden was the most affected by their success, finishing runners-up on six occasions.<ref name="seasons" />
However, Dynamo Dresden also had its patrons. According to Hans-Jürgen Dörner, the club was helped to remain a top club by three local politicians. One of them was Hans Modrow, the long-time SED First Secretary in Bezirk Dresden.<ref name="UnderCommunismP145">Template:Cite book</ref> Another one was Template:Ill, the head of the District Council in Bezirk Dresden.

Walter Fritzsch had retired in 1978, and was succeeded by Gerhard Prautzsch,<ref name="seasons" /> who was in turn followed by former players Klaus Sammer (1983–86), Eduard Geyer (1986–90) and Reinhard Häfner (1990–91).<ref name="seasons" /> The starTemplate:Tone inline players of the 1970 were replaced by a new generation, including Torsten Gütschow, Ulf Kirsten, Matthias Sammer, and Andreas Trautmann, although the club lost three key players in 1981: Gerd Weber, who along with teammates Peter Kotte and Matthias Müller had been offered a lucrative contract with 1.

During the 1980s, the club continued its regular participation in European football, generally earning respectable results.Template:Vague<ref name="europe" /> In the 1985–86 Cup Winners' Cup, however, they were on the receiving end of a shockingTemplate:Tone inline defeat against Bayer Uerdingen of West Germany: having won the first leg 2–0, they were 3–1 up at half-time in the second leg, when goalkeeper Bernd Jakubowski was injured by Uerdingen's Wolfgang Funkel.

West German chancellor Helmut Kohl privately attended the match between Dynamo Dresden and FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the 1987–88 DDR-Oberliga on 28 May 1988, during a private trip to East Germany with his wife Hannelore and son Peter.Template:Vague<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Dynamo Dresden ended the ten-year long dominance of BFC Dynamo and capturedTemplate:Tone inline the league title in the 1988–89 season. The title was celebrated after a 5–0 win against 1. FC Union Berlin in front of 27,000 spectators at the Dynamo-Stadion in the last match day on 3 June 1989. Dynamo Dresden won the league title also in the 1989–90 season, adding a cup win, to complete a double.<ref name="history-90s" /> The Berlin Wall opened on 9 November 1989. The Stasi then lost its influence over football mid-season. BFC Dynamo stood at fourth place in the league after the first half of the season, and only finished the 1989–90 season in fourth place.<ref name="guardian"/> With the fall of the Berlin Wall, many of the topTemplate:According to whom players in East Germany took the opportunity to head west. BFC Dynamo was the first team to lose a topTemplate:According to whom player. The team had lost its topTemplate:According to whom striker Andreas Thom already during the winter break, and would lose more topTemplate:According to whom players during the summer. Dynamo Dresden lost two starTemplate:Tone inline players during the summer of 1990: Ulf Kirsten and Matthias Sammer joining Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart respectively. With German reunification looming,Template:Tone inline many clubs in the East changed their name to shed their Soviet image, and Dynamo Dresden changed from SG to the more traditional 1. FC.<ref name="history-90s" /> The DDR-Oberliga also changed name for its final season: the league, now called the NOFV-Oberliga, was used to determine which places the East German clubs would take in the unified German league. Dynamo Dresden finished second, behind Hansa Rostock, thus qualifying for the Bundesliga.<ref name="history-90s" />
Bundesliga (1991–1995)Edit
Having been among the top clubs in the East, Dynamo found life in the Bundesliga much harder,Template:Tone inline struggling both financially and on the pitch. They spent four years at this level,<ref name="seasons" /> during which they were in a near-constant battle against relegation. Their highest placing was 13th in 1993–94, but the following year they succumbedTemplate:Tone inline to the drop, finishing in last place,<ref name="history-90s" /> having gone through three managers (Sigfried Held, Horst Hrubesch and Ralf Minge) during the season.<ref name="seasons" /> To add to this, the club had accumulated debts of more than 10 million DM, and were denied a license to play in the 2. Bundesliga, and had to drop down to the third tier Regionalliga Nordost.<ref name="history-90s" /> Rolf-Jürgen Otto, the club's president was jailed for having embezzled around 3 million DM from the club.<ref name="history-90s" />
While many of the starsTemplate:Tone inline of the 1980s had moved west, some remained for Dynamo's Bundesliga tenure, including Torsten Gütschow and Hans-Uwe Pilz, while the club was able to attract players from other Eastern clubs, including Olaf Marschall, René Müller and Heiko Scholz. The fall of the wall brought the influx of Dynamo's first foreign players, and the club saw internationals from Australia (Mark Schwarzer), Poland (Piotr Nowak), Russia (Stanislav Cherchesov) and Sweden (Johnny Ekström), among others.
Ups and downs (1995–2006)Edit
Dynamo sought to regroup in the Regionalliga, and again looked to former players to manage the team, being led by Hans-Jürgen Kreische (1995–96), Udo Schmuck (1996) and Hartmut Schade (1996–1998), but did not seriously challenge for promotion. In 1998, they finished second in the table, but with 60 points: 32 behind champions Tennis Borussia Berlin. 1999–2000 saw a restructuring of the Regionalliga: the four leagues were to be reduced to two, and Dynamo would have to finish in the top 7 to avoid relegation. Having finished 11th in the previous season they turned to Colin Bell,<ref name="history-90s" /> an English coach who had had some success with youth football in Germany, but he left in March 2000 after poor results and a player revolt.<ref name="history-00s">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Cor Pot, a Dutchman, was brought in to replace him,<ref name="history-00s" /> and he turned the team around,Template:Tone inlineTemplate:Vague but it was too late – they finished in eighth place, and were relegated to the fourth-tier Oberliga Nordost-Süd.<ref name="history-00s" /> By this point Dynamo were not even the top team in Dresden: Dresdner SC had returned after reunification, and finished as runners-up in the Regionalliga Nordost in 2000.
Optimism was high,Template:According to whom though, after the way the last season had ended, and the slogan "Wir kommen wieder" (we're coming back), was adopted. However, the Oberliga was now highly competitive with VfB Leipzig, 1. FC Magdeburg and FSV Zwickau also having been relegated, and Dynamo couldn'tTemplate:Tone inline match the consistency of their main promotion rivals Magdeburg and Leipzig. A 2–1 defeat against Magdeburg in February ended their promotion chances, and Pot resigned.<ref name="history-00s" /> With nothing to play for, Dynamo slumpedTemplate:Tone inline to fifth place.<ref name="history-00s" /> For the following season, Christoph Franke was brought in as manager,<ref name="history-00s" /> and led the club to promotion – they won the league<ref name="history-00s" /> with only two defeats, and beat Hertha BSC's reserve team in a playoff to earn their place in the Regionalliga Nord.<ref name="history-00s" /> Dynamo's youth system was particularly successfulTemplate:According to whom during this period, with players including Lars Jungnickel, Silvio Schröter, Maik Wagefeld and Daniel Ziebig going on to play at a higher level.
Dynamo finished a respectableTemplate:According to whom 7th in their first season back in the third tier, and followed that with another promotion,<ref name="history-00s" /> finishing second behind Rot-Weiß Essen. Life in the 2. Bundesliga began brightly, with a 3–1 win against MSV Duisburg, but by the halfway point of their first season they were facing relegation, with only 18 points. They recovered strongly in the second half of the season though, and finished in 8th place, thanks in part to signings such as Ansgar Brinkmann, Joshua Kennedy and Klemen Lavric. The 2005–06 season began in a similar way, as Dynamo climbed to third place with a 2–1 win over 1860 Munich in the Allianz Arena,<ref name="history-00s" /> but this was followed by thirteen matches without a win, resulting in the dismissal of Christoph Franke. Austrian manager Peter Pacult was brought in,<ref name="history-00s" /> with results improving temporarily, but Dynamo still failed to avoid relegation, finishing 15th.<ref name="history-00s" />
Consolidation (2006–present)Edit
Dynamo were back in the Regionalliga with the immediate aim of promotion, yet, despite a successful start, Peter Pacult left the club after six matches for a chance to manage his former club, Rapid Vienna.<ref name="history-00s" /> He was replaced by Norbert Meier,<ref name="history-00s" /> but Dynamo could not keep up their promotion bid, and finished seventh, due in part to poor away form. Another re-organisation of the league structure was looming,Template:Tone inline and Dynamo knew they'd have to finish in the top-10 to qualify for the new national 3. Liga. A number of former starTemplate:Tone inline players returned, including Lars Jungnickel, Marek Penksa and Maik Wagefeld,<ref name="history-00s" /> but results were not consistent, and Meier was sacked, replaced by former coach Eduard Geyer.<ref name="history-00s" /> Dynamo secured qualification on the last day, finishing eighth,<ref name="history-00s" /> but Geyer was dismissed due to disagreements with the board.<ref name="history-00s" /> In 2007, the club reverted to the name SG Dynamo Dresden.<ref name="history-00s" />
The club turned to Ruud Kaiser, a Dutchman with a good reputationTemplate:According to whom at youth level, as Geyer's replacement.<ref name="history-00s" /> They played in the first ever match of the third Liga, beating Rot-Weiß Erfurt 1–0 with a goal from Halil Savran,<ref name="history-00s" /> but results were not consistent, and they could only finish in mid-table.<ref name="history-00s" /> The 2009–10 season began badly,Template:According to whom and, with Dynamo in relegation trouble,Template:Tone inline Kaiser was sacked and replaced by Matthias Maucksch, a former player who had had some success with the reserve team.<ref name="history-00s" /> Maucksch managed to dragTemplate:Tone inline the team away from relegation, and finished the season in 12th place.

SV DynamoEdit
When they were founded as SG Volkspolizei, the club was sponsored by the East German police force, and in 1953, when they became Dynamo Dresden they were part of the SV Dynamo, the sport organization of the security agencies.<ref name="guardian" /> Dynamo were the most powerful of all the sports societies, and this conferred certain advantages on the club.Template:Vague<ref name="GFL" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> While many former security service clubs have struggled to shed their negative image,Template:According to whom particularly BFC Dynamo, Dynamo Dresden remain popular and well-supported,Template:According to whom having come to representTemplate:Vague their home city.

Dynamo plays at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion,<ref name="stadium">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> which was opened in 1923, and also originally named the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion after local track and field athlete Rudolf Harbig. The stadium was renamed Dynamo-Stadion by the East German authorities in 1971, but reverted to its former name after the reunification. With an original capacity of 24,000 spectators, the stadium was rebuilt in the beginning of the 1990s, in line with DFB and FIFA regulations, and was thoroughly modernised between June 2007 and December 2009. The modernized stadium opened on 15 September 2009 with a friendly match against Schalke 04 and has a capacity of 32,066 spectators.Template:Contradictory inline<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
SupportersEdit
Dynamo were one of East Germany's best-supported clubs, regularly drawing crowds of around 25,000 during their most successful period. Since reunification attendance levels have fluctuated along with the team's fortunes, while they were still one of the most well-supported teams in the lower leagues, drawing an average of around 10–15,000 fans in the 3.

Relationships with other clubsEdit
Dynamo Dresden have a particularly fractious relationship with BFC Dynamo,Template:According to whom who took over the first team and the place in the DDR-Oberliga from Dynamo Dresden in 1954, then as a football section of SC Dynamo Berlin.

Another club, SC Borea Dresden were formed out of SG Dynamo Dresden-Heide, a former feeder club for Dynamo, but there is no longer an official connection.
Colours and crestEdit
When they were formed as SG Volkspolizei Dresden, the club wore green and white, the colours of the former province of Saxony.<ref name="history-50s" /> Green and white were the colours of the Volkspolizei.<ref name="DNNDresdenfeiert" /> When the team became part of SV Dynamo they adopted the sports society's wine red colour scheme.<ref name="history-50s" /> In 1968, the club was declared a regional center of excellence in Bezirk Dresden and adopted its current colours of yellow and black, the city colours of Dresden.<ref name="history-60s" />
The club's original crest was built around the shield of the Volkspolizei, to whom they were affiliated. In 1953 they adopted the D logo of SV Dynamo, which was retained until reunification, when its wine red background was replaced with Saxon green. They reverted to the red background in the early 2000s.
