SV Schott Jena (styled as SV SCHOTT Jena) is a German football club located in Jena, Thuringia. It currently plays in NOFV-Oberliga Süd. The team's colours are blue and white.

History

SV Schott Jena was founded in 1896 as TV Glashütte Jena by workers of Schott AG and the company's founder Otto Schott. In 1911 the gymnastics club added a football department and joined the Arbeiter-Turn- und Sportbund. Until 1933 the footballers were ATSB's Thuringian champions twice. In that year the club was renamed TSV Glaswerk Jena after a merger, and in 1937 as TuS Schott Jena.

After the Second World War football and other sports clubs were ordered dissolved; Schott Jena was among them, but was refounded as SG Jena Forst in 1946. Frequent name changes followed despite the financial support given by the glassworks company. By 1990, it had played under 10 different names, including BSG Otto Schott and BSG Glas Jena. On the sporting level, the club never gained a foothold in the higher-class football in the GDR. In 1950 the footballers joined the newly founded BSG Chemie Jena. In the late eighties Chemie repeatedly won the Bezirksliga Gera, but failed repeatedly in the promotion round to DDR-Liga (II).

After

Thuringia Cup qualified Schott Jena for the first round of the 2013–14 DFB-Pokal. Schott was beaten 0–4 by Bundesliga club Hamburger SV in front of 12,000 spectators at Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld, wherein the home side played without conceding a goal for 72 minutes.[1]
