'Wiking' was dissolved after WWII by East German authorities and re-established by its members as a traditional club in Minden (West Germany) hosted by Mindener RV. After German reunion the club went back to Leipzig and became part of SC DHfK. DHfK is the "Deutsche Hochschule für Körperkultur", the womb of many olympic champions.
