The Berliner SV 1892 ( BSV 1892 , Berliner Sport-Verein 1892 eV ) is a traditional sports club from Schmargendorf , a part of the Berlin district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf . The club was founded in 1892 as BTuFC Britannia 1892 ( Berlin Thor and Football Club Britannia 1892 ), between 1945 and 1948 the club was called SG Wilmersdorf ( sports group Wilmersdorf ).

With over 3000 members, the BSV is one of the major Berlin associations. Popular and competitive sports are practiced in 20 departments, with the ball sports departments in particular - in addition to several Berlin association championships - also achieving major national successes:

The BSV became three-time German handball champions and was among the top teams in German indoor handball from 1947 to the 1970s, the hockey players became German hockey champions in 1940 , the rugby department was defeated in the first post-war final for the German rugby championship in 1948 Final and became runner-up, the footballers made it to the final of the German football championship in 1904 and qualified for the championship finals several times until the 1950s.

Historical club names

The BTuFC Britannia 1892 ( Berlin Thor and Football Club Britannia 1892 ) is one of the oldest German football clubs, founded on July 2, 1892 . While “Thorball” - briefly a German-language term for cricket at the end of the 19th century - remained a marginal sport in Britannia, as in Germany in general, football was the most important sport in the club's first decades. The other departments were founded later.

On December 10, 1914, in connection with the anti- British sentiment in World War I, Britannia was renamed Berliner SV 1892 . After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Allies in Berlin initially banned all sports clubs. Instead, there were individual district sports groups, behind which, however, the old clubs were usually hidden. The SG Wilmersdorf ( sports group Wilmersdorf ) consisted mainly of the departments of the Berliner SV 1892; In 1948 the club was re-approved under this name.

Soccer

Britannia was one of those 86 football clubs that founded the umbrella organization of German football on January 28, 1900 in Leipzig at the founding meeting of the German Football Association . And the first 50 years of the club were very successful in football. Although it never made a big hit in the finals of the German championship, at the top division level before the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, Berliner SV 1892 won ten Berlin championships between 1897 and 1954 : 1897 ( ADSB ), 1898, 1903, 1904 (each. VDB / VBB ), 1936, 1938, 1943, 1946, 1949 and 1954; The club won the Berlin State Cup twice : in 1930 and 1946. The greatest national success was qualifying for the final of the 1904 German soccer championship.

The youth teams were also able to celebrate great successes at association level: the BSV was Berlin champion of the B-Youth in 1975, the C-Youth in 1964 and 1973, the D-Youth in 1960, 1968 and 1971, and the Berlin B-Youth Cup winner in 1969.

In the 2019/20 season, the first men's team of BSV 1892 will play in the eight-class district league, coached by René Zampich.

Britannia's successes - 1896–1914

Four years after the club was founded, Britannia took part in the newly founded Allgemeine Deutscher Sport Bund for the first time in the league game in the 1896/97 season and immediately won the championship unbeaten. The following season ended with second place in the table. At the same time Britannia also joined the newly founded Association of German Ball Game Clubs (VDB) and also played for the championship there. After two playoffs due to a tie, Britannia was the first champion there too.

The home games of Britannia during these years, like the majority of the Berlin clubs, were played on the Tempelhofer Feld . In 1901 the Britannia changed its domicile and played for the next few years in the interior of the cycling track in the Sportpark Friedenau . After the Friedenauer Radrennbahn was torn down in April 1905, it was not until October 1906 that a new permanent home could be moved into the Steglitz Radrennbahn . Until the outbreak of the First World War , the club experienced unsteady times: In the 1908/09 season, Britannia played their home football games on the Viktoria sports field on Eisenacher Strasse in Mariendorf . A season later, the venue changed again, from now on they played on the Britannia sports field in Forckenbeckstrasse in Schmargendorf .

In the 1902/03 season Britannia was again able to win the championship of the largest Berlin association, which has now been renamed the Association of Berlin Ball Game Clubs (VBB). The club had thus qualified as one of six teams for the first final round of the German soccer championship 1902/03 , but was eliminated in the quarter-finals on its own against the later first German champions VfB 1893 Leipzig .

In the following season, the players did better when, as the renewed VBB title holder in the championship finals in 1903/04, they first threw out the Karlsruher FV 1891 and then the SC Germania 1887 (a predecessor of today's Hamburger SV ). The team was thus in the final against the reigning champions VfB 1893 Leipzig , which was to be played on May 22, 1904 on the occasion of the DFB Bundestag in Kassel . But because the DFB game committee, contrary to its own statutes, had scheduled Britannia's quarter-final game against Karlsruhe instead of a neutral pitch on Britannia's home pitch, the Karlsruhe team protested the result. This objection was upheld, so on the morning of the final the match was canceled and the final round was annulled altogether. In 1904 there was no German master.

After many successful years in the Berlin Association, the 1913/14 season ended for the first time with Britannia's relegation from the top Berlin soccer division. Shortly after the outbreak of World War I , BFC Fortuna joined the club's football division in 1894 .

Sporting renaissance - 1935–1954

It was not until the 1935/36 season that the BSV was able to build on its early successes and won the championship in the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg . This enabled the team to take part in the final round of the German soccer championship 1935/36 , but was eliminated in the group games of the preliminary round. This success was repeated two years later, but again the opponents in the group stage of the 1937/38 finals were too strong. In the final round of the 1942/43 German championship , which was severely affected by the war , the team made it to the second round.

Under the name SG Wilmersdorf , the BSV became the first Berlin city champion after the war in 1946 . In 1949 the next championship title followed in the top Berlin division, which has now been renamed the Berlin Contract League. As Berlin champions, the BSV took part in the final round of the German championship in 1949 , but lost the quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund 5-0. In 1954, the BSV succeeded in gaining the Berlin championship title for the last time in 1892, combined with renewed participation in the final round of the German football championship in 1953/54 . The later champions Hannover 96 (1: 2) and VfB Stuttgart (0: 3) proved to be stronger in the group games . The time of national success was over for the BSV footballers.

From the regional league to the district league - development since 1970

After the Bundesliga was founded in 1963, the BSV played - with the exception of the 1970/71 season - in the Regionalliga Berlin , the second-highest German division at the time. In 1971 they became Berlin amateur champions and took part in the German amateur championship as a Berlin representative . In the last regional league season 1973/74 , the BSV could not qualify for the new 2nd Bundesliga and remained in the now third-class Berlin city league , from which the team finally relegated in 1979.

The last time the BSV rose in 1995 to the top division in Berlin, which was only sixth at the time, the Berlin League , which the BSV was only able to hold for one year. After the first men's team of the club had meanwhile crashed into the district league A, succeeded in the 2009/10 season, the direct promotion to the eight-class district league and in the following season again a short excursion to the seventh-class national league.

In the meantime, the team spent a few years in the ninth-class district league A before being promoted to the district league again in 2017. The second team now plays in the district league A.

Handball

After the end of the Second World War, the handball department became the figurehead of the BSV 1892. For two decades the BSV played at the highest level of the association for the Berlin championship, which was also the regional championship and thus entitled to participate in the finals of the German handball championship between 1966 and 1969 led to promotion to the newly founded handball Bundesliga .

In 1947 the team became the first Berlin handball champions in the hall, under the name SG Wilmersdorf , and the handball players won a total of nine Berlin championship titles in the following years: 1947, 1948, 1950, 1957, 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1964. With that The BSV qualified a total of eleven times to take part in the final round of the German championship, only the Palatinate club TSG Haßloch with 14 participations was represented more often in the tournament. The BSV's track record is crowned by three German championship titles.

The "eternal rival" of the first decades of indoor handball in Berlin, the Reinickendorfer Füchse (since 2007 Füchse Berlin ), have now overtaken the BSV 1892 as the first address in Berlin handball, at least since they established themselves as the top club in the Bundesliga after 2007 . The BSV 1892 is still the only club from the Berlin handball association that was able to achieve championship and runner-up honors from the German Handball Federation.

In the 2013/14 season 1st men's team of the BSV played in the sixth class Landesliga Berlin. In the following years, the first men's team made it to the top twice within two years and is at home in the Oberliga Ostsee Spree (4th division) in the 2016/2017 season.

German Championships - 1948/1956/1964

The German handball champion in 1964 was the Berliner SV 92

With the win of the final game against the police SV Hamburg at the German handball championship in 1948 , the BSV 1892 (as SG Wilmersdorf ) became the first ever winner of a German handball championship in the hall; this final round was held as an open zone championship of the British zone of occupation . The title is not officially recognized in the list of winners of the later founded DHB . Two years later, the club had its first official success: in the 1950 final tournament , the BSV team only had to admit defeat to the later champions Police SV Hamburg (4: 6) and brought the first runner-up to Berlin.

In the following five years, the BSV was unable to qualify for the final round, but in the sixth year after the runner-up at the final round in the Berlin Sportpalast, the Berlin Sports Club 1892 became German champion in 1956 after a narrow victory in Final against THW Kiel (3: 2 after extra time), against whom the preliminary round match could already be won (5: 4). Two years later, the team reached the second runner-up in the championship finals in 1958 , here in the final Frisch Auf Göppingen had the larger reserves (5: 8) in extra time after the regular time had ended in a draw (5: 5).

The BSV continued to play high-class handball with good placements at German championships, and again six years after the second runner-up championship the title was won for the third time in the championship tournament in 1964 : again the THW was the opponent, in their home ground , the Kieler Ostseehalle has been. And again it was extremely close: BSV 1892 won 4: 3. The two final games against THW Kiel in 1956 and 1964 are the finals with the lowest goals in German handball history.

The BSV was initially not qualified for the two-track handball Bundesliga that was introduced in 1966 .

Bundesliga or regional league - 1966–1991

After the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1966, the BSV team made two leaps into the southern season of the handball upper house, for the 1967/68 season and the 1974/75 season , but in both cases they were relegated immediately. Apart from these two short flights of fancy, the handball department of the BSV 1892 commuted between the second highest division (regional league or since 1981 2nd handball league ) and the third highest (regional league after 1981), until 1991 relegation from the regional league meant the departure from the high-class handball competitive sport.

Field handball

In field handball , too , which was by far the more popular sport until the 1960s, the BSV was one of the top teams in Berlin in 1892:

The club has won a total of nine Berlin championships since 1948 (1948, 1949, 1951, 1952, 1956, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1966), which - as in indoor handball - was associated with qualifying for the final round of the German championship. But here the really great sporting successes failed to materialize; the BSV remained largely unsuccessful in the finals before the introduction of the field handball Bundesliga . The BSV was qualified for the first season of the new Bundesliga in 1967 , but was relegated directly.

Well-known former handball players

rugby

The rugby department of the BSV was founded in 1936 when the rugby team of the then Berlin champions Tennis Borussia entered the BSV in 1892 because Borussia could not provide adequate training and playgrounds. The "new" department was able to win the Berlin championship in 1937 in the very first year of its existence.

After the Second World War, the BSV was able to build on these successes with renewed Berlin championships in 1947 and 1948 (under the name Sportgruppe Wilmersdorf ), in 1948 the team only failed in the final of the German rugby championship with 30: 0 against TSV Victoria Linden . With the re-establishment in 1949 as a department of the main club BSV 1892 , all Berlin championships from 1947 to 1954 and 1956 were won. After that, the rugby department had to survive a long dry spell with no sporting success. The reorganization of the youth department has been successful since the early 1970s: in 1978 the C-class youths became German champions, a success that could be repeated in the same age group exactly ten years later.

The first men's team played after continuous development work - in 2007 promotion from the Regionalliga Ost to the 2nd Bundesliga, again in 2010 - in the meantime even in the rugby Bundesliga .

Well-known former rugby players

hockey

The greatest - and unique - success of the men's team of the Berliner SV 92 was long ago: in 1940 the BSV became German field champions in hockey with a 5-0 final over TV Sachsenhausen in 1857 from Frankfurt .

Due to an extensive league reform of the top divisions in indoor hockey, 14 teams from the third division leagues were promoted to the four regional groups of the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2000/01 season , and BSV 1892 in the eastern group was one of them. Surprisingly, this season succeeded then the next promotion to the top division, due to the better goal difference compared to the Berlin SC with the same number of points . BSV was able to stay in the midfield of the Bundesliga for one season , but the 2002/03 season turned into a debacle: without having scored a single point, the club had to relegate. The BSV withdrew its team and waived the right to start in the following season of the 2nd division.

In the 2013/14 season the first men's indoor hockey team plays in the Berlin Oberliga, on the field in the 1st Association League.

basketball

The basketball players of the Berliner SV 92 played several seasons in the basketball league from the 1969/70 season .

Cricket

The cricket department takes part in Bundesliga-Ost games under the name Britannia 1892 Cricket Club Berlin (as of 11/2013). The club became Berlin cricket champions in 1900, 1903 and 1911 and champions of the East German Bundesliga in 2017.

ice Hockey

The BTuFC Britannia 1892 was one of the pioneers of German ice hockey. He took part in the Berlin State Championship, the first ice hockey championship in Germany, which was played from 1909 . Even after the First World War, the Berliner SV again took part in the Berlin League in 1892, with third place in 1927 being the best result. In 1934 relegation from the Berlin League could no longer be prevented. The club then no longer took part in championship games.
