Football section
On June 25, 1920, Franz Emberger (emerged from BSV 92) founded the association "SC Berliner Amateure". Even if there was no professionalism in German football at that time, there were already efforts to organize football as a business enterprise. This decisive reorganization did not take place, but the strict amateur regulations were bypassed by some clubs by disguised donations. It came from different clubs ( Berliner SV 92 , BFC Preussen and VfB Pankow) some avid football fans and players together. There was no shortage of like-minded sports comrades, so that a very strong first team could be provided. But when various players who had previously belonged to the upper league learned that they had to start in the lower division, some lost their interest in the new company. New players were added and the point games began in 1920/21. They won three championships in a row, so the Berlin amateurs were already in the district league in 1923. In the Berlin Association Cup in 1925, the club reached the quarter-finals against the eventual finalist 1. FC Neukölln .
In 1945 the association was dissolved by the Allies and had to start over under the name SG Kreuzberg-Ost . On August 1, 1949, the SC Berliner Amateure was re-established. The most successful time for the amateurs was their successful promotion to the Berlin Amateur League at the end of the sixties. In the first season the club reached third place behind Sportfreunde Neukölln and TuS Wannsee . The Berlin amateurs held the amateur league for a total of three seasons until 1971, although there was no realistic chance of promotion to the Berlin Regionalliga. In the period that followed, the club could no longer keep up and disappeared into the lowlands of West Berlin local football. In the 1990s and 2012 the first team played in the district league. The amateurs were no longer able to return to higher-class Berlin football. The current division is the district league A Berlin.
