In the 1909/10 season, Germania lost the deciding game on October 17, 1909 for the 2nd class championship against the second team from SV Prussia-Samland Königsberg 3: 4, but since the second team was not eligible for promotion, Germania rose Königsberg in the first class. The 1910/11 season ended with the last place in the table, the relegation game against the second team of VfB Königsberg was lost 4-1. Again, Germania was lucky, since second teams were still not allowed to move up to 1st class, the club remained in the league.

The SC Brandenburg Königsberg was placed in 2nd class for the 1910/11 season. After the merger to form Ostmark Königsberg, the club remained in the top division until the First World War. In 1915/16 the first place in the Königsberg League was achieved.

Lawn Sports Prussia Koenigsberg

In 1920 the merger to the game association Lawn Sports-Prussia Königsberg took place, the club took over the starting place in the first division from its predecessor clubs. In 1920/21 and 1922/23 the club came second in Koenigsberg without seriously competing with the series winner VfB Koenisgberg . Although the club missed the qualification in the top East Prussian league, which was newly introduced for the 1926/27 season , the third place in the table from the 1925/26 season entitled to participate in the promotion games of 1926/27, which were successfully designed. In the 1927/28 season , however, SV Rasensport-Preußen Königsberg withdrew its team after ten game days for economic reasons from the East Prussian League and moved to the second-rate Königsberg district league . After the East Prussian League was dissolved in 1930 and replaced by three regional leagues, Lawn Sports Prussia Königsberg made the leap back to first class. Here the club achieved midfield placements until the association was dissolved.

After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the football associations were dissolved and replaced by football districts. The four best teams from the Königsberg division league, originally intended for the Baltic football finals in 1933/34 , qualified for the newly introduced East Prussian Gauliga . Since Lawn Sports Prussia Königsberg reached second place, the club qualified for the Gauliga East Prussia 1933/34 . In this, the Königsbergs reached fourth place. In the following season , Lawn Sports Prussia Königsberg was last, relegation was only avoided because the Gauliga East Prussia was increased from 14 to 28 teams for the coming season and consequently there was no relegated team this season. After a third place in the 1935/36 season in the Königsberg district, the Königsbergs' greatest success followed when they were first in their Gauliga group in 1936/37 before VfB Königsberg and Prussia-Samland Königsberg and were thus able to move into the Gauendrunde. After six games, Königsberg was just second behind SV Hindenburg Allenstein and thus just missed the Gauendspiel. In the 1938/39 season , Lawn Sport-Prussia Königsberg was last and was relegated for the first time from the Gauliga. The rise again succeeded in the 1940/41 season , but due to the war, the Königsberg family withdrew before the start of the season.

After the Second World War , Königsberg, which had been German until then, was annexed by the Soviet Union . Lawn Sports Prussia Königsberg was, like all other German clubs and institutions, forcibly dissolved.
