Their best result in this period was third place Oberliga finish in 1970-71 that earned them a first-round UEFA Cup appearance.With German reunification in 1990, and the merger of the country's eastern and western leagues, the club entered the 2.Bundesliga as Hallescher FC.

Wacker had participated in the playoff rounds for the German championship in 1921, 1928, and 1934, when it won the Gauliga Mitte.As was common in the East at the time, the club would undergo frequent name changes, the first one was to SG Freiimfelde Halle in 1948.

The club played in the premier DDR-Oberliga as a middling side, with the occasional lapse that would drop them to the second tier DDR-Liga.

In the following year they won the eastern championship as ZSG Union Halle and repeated this success in 1952.A succession of further name changes followed: BSG Turbine Halle (1953); SC Chemie Halle-Leuna (1957); SC Chemie Halle (1958); and FC Chemie Halle (1966).The last name change reflects the separation of football departments from their parent sports clubs all across East Germany, forming football clubs, as sports bureaucrats strove to build a powerful national football team.

As BSG Turbine Halle the side won its first East German Cup in 1956, and a second one in 1962, this time as SC Chemie Halle.
