FSV Glückauf Brieske-Senftenberg is a German football club from Senftenberg in Brandenburg, currently playing in the Landesliga Brandenburg-Süd (VII).
History
FSV Glückauf Brieske-Senftenberg was founded on 19 January 1919 as Fußballverein Grube Marga before becoming Fußballsportverein Grube Marga in 1928. The club was renamed Sportverein Sturm Grube Marga in 1933 and played two seasons (1941–43) in the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg, one of the country's 16 top-flight regional divisions.
After World War II, the club was closed before being reformed as Sportgemeinde Grube Marga and becoming part of the separate football competition that emerged in East Germany under Soviet occupation. In 1948, it was renamed BSG Franz Mehring Grube in recognition of leftist politician, journalist and writer Franz Mehring. Two years later the club was known as BSG Aktivist Ost Brieske and became part of the DDR-Oberliga (I).
On 4 November 1953, the newly built Glück-Auf Stadium was opened with a friendly match against Torpedo Moscow in front of 35,000 spectators. The best-known player of this time was Horst Franke, who played an international match for the East German team in 1953/54. It is not known how long the team played at the Glück-Auf Stadium for. In October 1954, the football section was delegated to the newly founded SC Aktivist Brieske-Senftenberg.

Why this record matters
“FSV Glückauf Brieske-Senftenberg” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Glückauf, Brieske-Senftenberg and association provides the most credible route into that argument.
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 May 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q470476. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1919, 1928, 1933 and 1941.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. 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.
