ASG Vorwärts Dessau is a German association football club based in Dessau-Roßlau, Saxony-Anhalt.

Consequently, the Armeesportgemeinschaft (ASG) Vorwärts Dessau was founded on 4 September 1974, taking over the league spot from Leipzig with the start of the 1974–75 season.

Vorwärts usually finished in the top third of the league and had a relatively strong following, considering the fact it was an army sports club.

In 1992, 1994 and 1999 Anhalt reached the final of the Saxony-Anhalt Cup, but suffered defeats against FSV Lok/Altmark Stendal (twice) and VfL Halle 96, respectively.

[1] Despite this success there were conflicts within SV Stahlbau which led to the majority of the football section founding their own club on 12 April 2005.
