The BSG KWO Berlin was founded in 1949 as a company sports association of the VEB Kabelwerk Oberspree from Berlin-Oberschöneweide . In the initial phase, the Berliners acted exclusively on the regional level of Berlin. In 1951 the company was renamed BSG Motor Oberspree Berlin . Six years later, Motor Oberspree Berlin briefly joined local rivals TSC Oberschöneweide and until 1959 was dissolved as TSC Oberschöneweide / Oberspree or TSC Oberschöneweide III .
It was not until 1975 that the national sports team that had existed within the BSG was replaced by a newly established soccer section. The sports officials had ambitious goals and brought KWO Berlin with considerable financial resources within a very short time between 1976 and 1979 from the 2nd district class to the third class Berlin district league . The first player- coach after the start-up was Peter Pera , who made a significant contribution to the team's steep rise. A cooperation with 1. FC Union Berlin made a significant contribution to the success. In the 1978/79 season KWO won the Berlin championship for the first time with a narrow lead over BSG EAB 47 Lichtenberg and rose to the GDR league . In the first year of the second division, the Berliners were able to prevent relegation, in the following season KWO came second behind 1. FC Union Berlin . After a total of four seasons in the second division, KWO Berlin rose in the 1982/83 season together with Bergmann-Borsig Berlin and Semiconductor Factory Frankfurt back into the district league.
In the period that followed, KWO made immense efforts again to achieve a rapid ascent. The longstanding KWO trainer Dieter Fietz played a key role . Fietz had excellent relationships with the stationed Soviet armed forces, which meant that KWO temporarily ran up with up to four Russian players from SASK Elstal , some of whom had first-class experience. These players were brought up from their army bases especially for the KWO games. KWO won the East Berlin championship several times, but failed again and again in the promotion games. "The suspicion solidified in the scene that the prospect of an adequate existence in the district league significantly reduced the athletic ambition of some players to prove themselves one floor higher," says Sascha Stolz in the football week on February 5th 2007 an accurate résumé.
In 1988, the new rise succeeded. In the GDR league, the Berliners were able to hold their own for two seasons. The club was dissolved after the 1989/90 season due to the suspension of payments by the sponsoring company .
Women's soccer
When they first took part in the determination of the best in 1985, the soccer players of the BSG were able to record their greatest success. With a 2-0 win over BSG VEM Zörbig, the team finished third after they clearly lost the semi-finals against BSG Turbine Potsdam with 0: 6 and 1: 3. In 1987 they missed the finals only because of the poor goal difference against the BSG rotation Schlema . After the formation of two league seasons, the team belonged to the top clubs, but did not come close to the finals. After the club was dissolved in 1990, the women's football section changed completely to 1. FC Union Berlin .

badminton
At the beginning of the 1980s, the club achieved its first successes in badminton in the youth field. The continuous youth work paid off at the end of the decade when the now grown-up talents, supplemented by a few veterans of the club, fought their way up to the top division of the GDR . However, it was never enough to win a medal in the team title fights: In 1989 the team came in sixth, in 1990 fifth. In the individual disciplines, Michaela Junker won the silver medal in women's doubles in 1988 together with Petra Schubert . In the following two years, on the other hand, they only achieved bronze.
