Founded on 21 May 2011, SG Leipzig Leutzsch took up the place of Sachsen in league play and moved into the ground at Alfred-Kunze-Sportpark.

[7] A new BSG Chemie Leipzig was founded in 1997 and the team began play in the lowest tier city competition, 3.

In their press release it was called among others: "No matter what decision the liquidator of SG Sachsen in terms of the insolvency proceedings: BSG Chemie Leipzig will ensure that children and young people can play football even after 30 June in the Alfred-Kunze-Sportpark!".

[8] The club had the overwhelming vast majority of the support of the traditional fans of Chemie, unlike the other attempted successor sides.

[9] The launch of the new BSG Chemie was mostly pushed ahead by younger fans of FC Sachsen Leipzig, especially the ultras group Diablos Leutzsch,[10] who are expressly anti-fascist and tend to hold left-wing views.

They were rejected by more seasoned FC Sachsen fans and the club management who described themselves as apolitical but were accused by Diablos and others from the younger, leftist field of being lenient toward racists.

The above-mentioned leftist and anti-fascist Chemie supporters and ultras are confronted with vocal groups of Lok fans from the right and far-right of the political spectrum.
