The SG NARVA Berlin is a sports club from Berlin .
history
Various company sports groups developed from the Osram AG in Friedrichshain, which was established at the beginning of the 20th century . In connection with the construction work in preparation for the 1936 Olympic Games - the actual location was outsourced - a sports field (today Bruno-Bürgel-Weg 99) was created and inaugurated. After the Games in Berlin, the athletes of the OSRAM Group continued to use large parts of the area, which was barely destroyed even after the Second World War. In the course of the turmoil during the post-war period, the sports facility was left to the newly founded sports group Niederschöneweide . In 1947 it was renamed the Oberspree sports community , which merged with BSG Motor Friedrichshain-Ost in February 1949 . The adult athletes of the BSG were almost exclusively employed by the VEB Berliner Glühlampenwerk ( NARVA ).
Restructuring of the host company followed and also brought changes in the name. The names of the company sports association Mechanik Friedrichshain (from November 15, 1950), BSG Motor Friedrichshain-Ost (from 1951) and BSG Motor Berliner Glühlampenwerk (from 1954) led to the final name BSG NARVA Berlin in 1969 , which remained valid until the fall of the Berlin Wall. Subsequently, the East Berlin location ( Berlin-Friedrichshain ) of the lighting manufacturer NARVA was closed, whereby the status as a company sports association was lost. Since then the association has been called Sportgemeinschaft NARVA Berlin .
Sporting development
In the period from its founding until 1990, the association grew to around 2500 members and up to 15 departments. The handball and soccer divisions were the most successful in terms of sport and each reached the GDR league (second highest division). The footballers of SG Niederschöneweide played 1945/1946 in the season D of the then first-class Berlin city league , but missed the qualification for the single-track city league. The BSG footballers belonged to the GDR league in both 1974/75 and 1978/79 in season B, but were each 11th of twelve teams back in the district league.
In the course of the reunification of Germany, the number of members fell to a fifth, but has initially remained stable since 2002 (approx. 500). After the footballers joined FC Treptow , the handball players (numbered 548 in 2019) are to be regarded as the club's figurehead and make up almost three quarters of the members, after the rowing department and the rowing club split off from the parent club on April 13, 2005 Narva-Oberspree eV had founded. In the handball division, the first men's team won the Berlin runner-up in 2003 and 2005, before the Berlin championship in 2006 could be celebrated. The team kept the class (Oberliga Berlin-Brandenburg) sovereign in the following years, but rose in the course of restructuring in 2010 to the Association League Berlin (top division of the capital). In the meantime, the necessary regeneration from one's own youth was forced through the use of almost all available means. This undertaking has been successful over the past 15 years, so that in 2012 and 2014 the male and 2016 female A-youth Berlin championships were awarded, which led to supraregional qualifications (Oberliga-Ostsee-Spree). The association has received several awards for exemplary youth development. The handball department currently has 35 teams in play, 27 of which are youth teams.

Chess Department
The chess department was founded as a division on July 1, 1950, about a year after the company sports association Berliner Glühlampenwerk was founded (April 1, 1949). The Chess Department had its “best years” around 1990. Up to five teams were played in the city. The 1st team measured itself at a high level in the Berlin City League. Successful youth work, which in 1989 led to two Berlin masters (age group 7/8 m and age group 9/10 m) and two runners-up for girls, was initially unsustainable because the number of members went downhill in the years that followed. In 1993 only a “tribe” of eight adults and seven children / adolescents remained. Since 1994/95 the number of members has increased again. Since 2003 3 teams have been playing in the Berlin classes again, successes have been achieved in youth tournaments and top places in individual tournaments. The number of members is currently around 50.
