Meuselwitzer Schachverein 1921 e.V. is a traditional chess club from Meuselwitz in the Altenburger Land district of Thuringia, Germany. Founded in 1921, the club looks back on more than a century of organized chess and today is part of the Thuringian chess structure, with teams regularly competing in regional leagues and championships. The club combines a strong sense of local identity with an open, welcoming atmosphere for players of all ages and playing strengths.
A key focus of the club is children and youth work. Regular training sessions and club evenings—often held in the Schüler-Jugend-Freizeitzentrum (SJFZ) and local community venues—give youngsters and beginners a friendly place to learn the rules, train systematically and play practice games. For many kids in the region, Meuselwitzer Schachverein 1921 e.V. is their first contact with tournament chess and a place where “brain jogging” goes hand in hand with teamwork, concentration and fun.
Beyond weekly club life, Meuselwitzer Schachverein 1921 e.V. organises a wide range of tournaments and special events, from city and district championships to youth tournaments and open events connected with regional festivals. With projects such as the International Altenburger Schachtage and jubilee tournaments around the club’s 100-year anniversary, Meuselwitz has become a familiar name on the Thuringian chess map, offering well-organised, family-friendly competitions in a pleasant small-town setting.
