history
The association was founded on April 17, 1994 by dissatisfied members of the SSV Turbine Potsdam . A-youth coach Fred Hagedorn and some of his players saw no sporting perspective for young players in this club and then founded the Potsdamer Kickers. In April 1996, the football department of PSV Potsdam / Eiche joined the kickers.
Since the association was founded, the members have had to struggle with difficult conditions. In addition to a soccer field that is normally too small for games, the club does not have its own functional building. In April 2016, the members of the Potsdamer Kickers caused an uproar in the Brandenburg state capital. With an organized photo campaign and an urgent request, they turned to the Potsdam City Council and pointed out the extremely unsuitable for competition conditions in the middle of one of the largest football clubs in Potsdam.
