Fußballclub Grimma is a German football team based in Grimma. The club presently competes in the NOFV-Oberliga Süd. The club originated from SV 1919 Grimma, but in 2009 the football department separated from the rest of the club to become independent.
History
FC Grimma's origins stem from SV 1919 Grimma, which was founded in 1919. In 1945, after World War II, the club was dissolved, due to the general ban on sports clubs in the Soviet occupation zone. After East German sports had been re-organized though company sports associations in 1948, NAGEMA (the Grimma machine factory) took over operations of the existing sports association and promoted it to BSG NAGEMA Grimma, with name changes to BSG Stahl and BSG Motor West occurring shortly after. In 1990, the machine company no longer support the sports club in their usual way due to the changing economic conditions at the time. Consequently, BSG members founded a registered association named SV Motor Grimmato develop other sources of finance. In November 1991, the club fully separated completely from the former sponsoring company and re-took the historical name of SV 1919 Grimma, developing into a large multisport club.
On July 1, 2009, the football department of the club separated from the club and formed its own club by the name of FC Grimma.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as association football club. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1387136. VIAF identifies the subject as 2773150264372205860008. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1919, 2009, 1945 and 1948.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
