History

 74 former members of Wacker, Fortuna, and Buchholz founded the TSV Fortuna von 1946. When the local authorities moved Turnerbund Sachsenroß from their former residence at Clausewitzstraße to Wietzegraben Fortuna and Sachsenroß became neighbours. The city also wanted to support the local sports and thus planned to build larger sports facilities. A prerequisite was that Sachsenross and Fortuna would merge to form a joint club. TSV Fortuna/Sachsenroß von 1891 e.V. was thus founded in 1971.
