The Berlin FC Frankfurt 1885 was a German football club founded on May 5, 1885.
history
The BFC Frankfurt was founded on May 5, 1885 by Georg Leux , the later founder of the Association of German Football Players. The Frankfurt in the name was chosen as a throwback to Leux's hometown, which came from an old Frankfurt sports family and had come to Berlin because of his profession as an artist. The club colors were blue and white, the BFC Frankfurt regularly competed with a white shirt with blue stripes and a blue and white field cap. Originally rugby football was played at BFC Frankfurt , but this was soon abandoned in favor of association football .
The BFC played in various early Berlin football leagues, first in the German Football and Cricket Association (DFuCB), which excluded it in 1894, and from 1896 to 1898 in the General German Sports Association , where they were second in 1897 and Berlin champions of this association in 1898 .
BFC Frankfurt played their home games on the Tempelhofer Feld . The BFC Frankfurt was a pioneer club in many ways: On March 11, 1894, it played one of the still rare games that were played between two football clubs from different German cities against Bremen's FC Teutonia , who usually played rugby football. This game based on soccer rules (Soccer as short for Association Football) was won 5-0. However, the BFC Frankfurt was dissolved after a few years, as the majority of the members joined the later German football champions Union 92 Berlin , which later became Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin . Nevertheless, the BFC Frankfurt is considered one of the German football pioneers and in January 1900 was one of the 86 founding clubs of the German Football Association .
