After World War II Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of existing organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs. In the fall of 1945 the creation of new clubs was allowed and the team was re-formed as ZSG Industrie-Mitte. Playing in the Soviet-occupied part of the country that eventually became East Germany, the club underwent frequent name changes and mergers as was common there. In quick succession the team was known as Fahrzeugbau Leipzig-Mitte (1947), BSG Gohlis-Süd (1948), and then BSG Lok Nord (1951). In 1961 they merged with BSG Motor Gohlis (not the similarly named Motor Gohlis-Nord) to become BSG Motor Nord.
