Historically significant was the hockey department of the association from 1983 together with the Berliner Schlittschuhclub the BSC Preussen formed.
Soccer
In 1894, the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium students founded a football club, Friedrich-Wilhelm , which was re-established as BFC Preussen in order to avoid conflicts and played the first games in the same year.
In 1897 the BFC was one of the founding members of the Association of German Ball Game Clubs (VDB), later renamed the Association of Berlin Ball Game Clubs (VBB). Before the First World War, the Berlin championships in 1899 , 1900 , 1901 , 1910 and 1912 and also the runner-up in 1905 and 1906 could be achieved. In March 1901, BFC Preussen succeeded 8: 3 over the Surrey Wanderers, the first victory of a German team over a club from England. In 1909 a friendly game against Newcastle United took place with a visit from the Crown Prince couple.
After the Second World War, the BFC could not be re-established until 1949. In 1970 he was promoted to the Berlin amateur league and in 1972 he was promoted to the Berlin Regionalliga . In 1974 the qualification for the new amateur league Berlin was unfortunately missed, in which the BFC Prussia rose in 1975 with the achievement of the amateur league championship. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the club was one of the strongest in West Berlin. In 1977, 1980 and 1981 the club took first place in the major league, which in addition to winning the Berlin soccer championship also meant participating in the relegation games for promotion to the second division . However, the Prussians each missed the rise. In addition, in 1978 and 1979 the runner-up in the major league and between 1978 and 1981 the final of the Paul Rusch Cup four times in a row were achieved, with the BFC leaving the field three times as the winner.
In 1991 the Oberliga Berlin was dissolved and the clubs were incorporated into the new NOFV Oberliga. This league could only be held for one year, and in 1992 the BFC was a founding member of the new Association League Berlin. Here, too, one had to cope with two temporary relegations (1993 and 1999) before moving up to the fourth-class Oberliga Nord-Ost / Nord in 2005 when the Berlin championship title was once again achieved. In the 2008/09 season, the Prussians played , through the introduction of the new 3rd division, in the now fifth-class Oberliga Nordost . There the club could not keep the class and played in the Berlin League since the 2009/10 season . After two years in the Berlin League, the club was relegated to the Landesliga Berlin at the end of the 2011/12 season. At the beginning of the 2014/15 season, a well-known coach, former Bundesliga professional Andreas Neuendorf , was signed; Under Neuendorf's leadership, the team separated from the rest of the field early in the season and returned as champions in the Berlin League. With a 3-2 win after extra time against SC Staaken, the club reached the final of the Berlin State Cup on May 28, 2016, which was won 1-0 against SV Lichtenberg 47 . This enabled them to qualify for the 2016/17 DFB Cup , in which they lost to 1. FC Köln in the first round. In the 2018/19 season, he was relegated from the Berlin League again.
