The Berlin Football Week was a German football magazine from Berlin , which was published by Sportverlag Berlin from 1949 to 1951 towards the end of municipal sport . It contained official announcements of the sports committee Greater Berlin, division football and then went into the new football week of the GDR .

In contrast, the football week is another football magazine from Berlin, the first edition of which appeared on September 24, 1923 and which was re-established in 1950. For a few months both leaves appeared in parallel. The journal was supposedly conceived "1921 on the Danube steamer between Budapest and Pressburg "; The founder was the then 30-year-old journalist Kurt Stoof.

From 1924 to 1944 the journalist Ernst Werner was editor-in-chief for many years from the start-up phase . The football week was mainly spread in Berlin, but had other regional editions besides the Brandenburg one. In 1934 gymnastics, games and sports became part of the FuWo . Since then, Walter A. Cordua has been editor for their north German part. In 1944 the magazine - most recently "Official organ of the NS-Reichsbund for physical exercises in Berlin / Brandenburg, Northern Germany and Western Germany" - was discontinued due to the war.

After Stoof returned from Soviet imprisonment in 1950, he re-founded the magazine in West Berlin, again with Werner as the editor in charge. It carried the old title Football Week and was the official organ of the VBB . No. 1 appeared with 24 pages on September 11th, the week after the 1st day of the contract city ​​league .

The focus was - and is currently again - on Berlin football, from the top clubs to the local level. In 1950 there was no report on the clubs in East Berlin , only the results from the "Oberliga Ost" were reported.

A Football Week (spelling sic) was published in northern Germany in 1949, before Stoof's re-establishment. In the summer of the same year, the paper was dedicated to football in all four national associations of the NFV on 16 pages . In the absence of an imprint, the publisher and place of publication are uncertain.
