SC Karl-Marx-Stadt was a sports club located at Karl-Marx-Stadt in the German Democratic Republic.
Established in 1945, the sports club went through a variation of name changes until 1 July 1963, settling with SC Karl-Marx-Stadt, which lasted until its dissolution around the end of 1990.
Sports Figure skating SC Karl-Marx-Stadt's figure skaters had won medals in Olympic, World, European, international and national competitions.
The coach for the club's singles' ladies and men's figure skating from 1960 through 1990 (the East German club's disestablishment) was Jutta Müller, who also coached her own daughter, Gabriele Seyfert. Seyfert, the first person Müller coached, won ten consecutive East German national championships from 1961 to 1970, three European Championships, two World Championships, as well as placing second in the 1968 Olympic Winter Games, becoming East Germany's first person to win an Olympic medal. Ladies figure skaters that Müller coached included Seyfert, Martina Clausner, Sonja Morgenstern, Simone Gräfe, Steffi Knoll, Anett Pötzsch, Marion Weber, Katarina Witt, Constanze Gensel, Evelyn Großmann, Simone Lang and Claudia Wagler. Men's figure skaters she coached included Günter Zöller, Klaus Purrücker, Jan Hoffmann, Nils Köpp, Rico Krahnert and Ronny Winkler. Jan Hoffmann was the most successful male figure skater from East Germany, having won four European Championship titles, two World Championship titles and a silver medal at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games. Anett Pötzsch won four European Championship titles, two World Championships and a gold medal at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games, the first Olympic gold medal in figure skating for the GDR. Pötzsch ended her career in 1980. Katarina Witt was the most successful East German with six Championship titles, four World Championship titles and two Olympic victories.
In addition to Jutta Müller, Irene Salzmann coached pairs figure skaters Sabine Baeß and Tassilo Thierbach for SC Karl-Marx-Stadt.
In late 1990, SC Karl-Marx-Stadt was succeeded by Eissportverein Chemnits (EVC), which itself was succeeded by Chemnitzer Eislauf-Club e.V. (CEC), in late 1998.
