The association is one of the few in the former East Berlin , which the GDR could keep away their traditional club name -time and not, as it was politically desired, under the umbrella of a support operation as a company sports club existed.

In addition to football , the club also offers gymnastics . Field handball , billiards and bowling can also be found in the history of the club .

history

The club was founded in 1930 as Sportfreunde Schöneweide -Johannisthal by O. Sabo, Franz Tolinski, Paul Kohl, A. Schmidt and Gustav Pirsich in the Fliegerheim restaurant . The club colors were initially green and white.

In the same year one was accepted into the Association of Berlin Ball Game Clubs (VBB). From the 1930/31 season onwards the game was played in the eastern district of Gauklasse B.

Over the following years, many of the footballers from ASV “Fichte” Johannisthal joined the club, as the club also offered its athletes professional opportunities thanks to its good contacts with the local industry near the Johannisthal airfield . In addition, after the National Socialists seized power in 1933, the ASV "Fichte" was banned as a workers' sports club. In addition, in 1933, under political pressure, the merger with the older Johannisthaler Ballspiel-Club 08 took place. The joint club was initially formed under the name Spielvereinigung Johannisthal. The club colors were changed to green and black. In 1934 the name was changed to SG Sportfreunde Johannisthal.

In 1945 after the Second World War, due to the reorganization of sport on a purely communal basis by the Allied Control Council, one had to compete under the name Sportgruppe Johannisthal , since "civil" club names were forbidden. The active soccer players had to compete for the sports group in whose catchment area they lived. All assets of the association were confiscated. The SG Johannisthal was classified in the highest possible Berlin league, the league class, for the 1945/46 season . The success as table seventh of the season D was rather moderate, the qualification for the single-track Berlin city league, which from the season 1946/47 formed the highest Berlin league, was clearly missed. In the 1946/47 season SG Johannisthal was bottom of the table in 1st class and was relegated to 2nd class.

The association ban was lifted in 1948, after the division of Berlin, sports associations (SG) and company sports associations (BSG) were created in the eastern part of the city instead. Therefore, in 1948, it was decided to revive the old club name Sportfreunde Johannisthal. Unlike in the western districts of Berlin, the year the association was founded was not allowed to be part of the association's name, since the Soviet occupation forces disliked the traditional leadership before 1945 . After the 1948/49 season, as a 2nd class champion, you rose again to 1st class. A second place was achieved in the 1949/50 season. The season ended with the sporting division of Berlin.

In the 1950/51 season Johannisthal entered the newly formed state class Berlin as the BHW Johannisthal company sports club and reached 9th place. The carrier company was the VEB Berliner Halbzeugwerk (BHW) (formerly Deutsche Messingwerke Carl Eveking AG ), which was merged into the VEB Berliner Metallhütten und Halbzeugwerke in 1951 . The team also reached the first main round of the FDGB Cup in 1950 , in which they lost 3: 4 to BSG Lokomotiv Cottbus . In the 1951/52 season the club came back as Sportfreunde Johannisthal and again reached 9th place in the national class. The company sports association of the Berliner Metallhütten und Halbzeugwerke existed under the name BSG Stahl Schöneweide and decades later made a name for itself in the boxing sector up to numerous, also current German and international championships.

In 1952, the five regional leagues in GDR football were abolished and replaced by 15 district leagues. As a result, the Sportfreunde Johannisthal came from the Berlin state class in the new Berlin district league, from which they were relegated as bottom of the table after the 1952/53 season. A year later succeeded as the leader of the rise, but in 1959 it went down a class again in the district class.

The Sportfreunde Johannisthal rose again in 1976 to the district league, but were relegated a year later. With the rise in 1981, the last return to the GDR district league in Berlin could be achieved; In 1985 you had to accept relegation to the district class again.

After the reunification of Berlin in terms of football, the Sportfreunde Johannisthal went down several times to the low point in 1996/97 in the district league B (9th league), but were able to return to the district league A at least one season later. Through a restructuring of the classes in Berlin football, one got into one of the new seasons of the one class higher BFV district league in 2000, but was relegated to the district league A one year later. In 2003 they managed to get promoted to the BFV district league, where they could establish themselves from then on. Sportfreunde Johannisthal narrowly missed promotion to the BFV regional league in 2006 as third. This was then successfully achieved a year later in the 2006/07 season. In the state league, the team under promotion coach Detlef Schneider was massively strengthened by higher-class experienced players and a place in the top third of the table was targeted. However, the team proved to be too inconsistent and could not achieve more than to secure relegation on the penultimate match day of the season.

For the 2008/09 season, Michael Koch, a coach, was hired, who last looked after the women's Bundesliga team at Tennis Borussia Berlin and was also active in the first Chinese league . On the last day of the match the class could be held again due to the better goal difference.

In the following seasons, a place in the top five with the prospect of promotion to the Berlin League was sought. For the latter, however, it was not enough due to injury-related player failures in the second half of the season with a 4th, 5th and 7th place.

In the 2012/13 season, Sportfreunde Johannisthal signed Dirk Bastian as a new coach. After a mediocre start, the team won 19 games in a row on September 30, 2012, remained undefeated after that, and was able to make their first promotion to the Berlin League three game days before the end of the season . In the following season, however, you immediately descended again. Two years at the top of the national league followed. From the 2016/2017 season, Mario Langner took over the position of coach, for the 2017/2018 season the club decided to hire another coach in the form of Marten Gutkäß, both of whom will also form the coaching team for the 2020/21 season.
