In his first season with FCZ, von Bergen played 36 games and thus contributed to the first title win since 1981. The championship was defended in the following season. When Favre moved to Hertha BSC in Berlin in the summer of 2007, he took the central defender with him. Von Bergen made his debut in Germany's top division against Arminia Bielefeld on matchday two .

After relegation in the 2009/10 season, he left Berlin and was initially without a club for a month before signing a two-year contract with the Italian club AC Cesena on August 4th .

For the 2012/13 season , Bergen initially moved to CFC Genoa , but was transferred to US Palermo in August 2012 . A year later, von Bergen announced that he had signed a five-year contract with the Bernese Young Boys .

In preparation for this tournament, however, he injured himself (he broke his hand) and had to cancel his participation. After the European Championship, von Bergen returned to appearances for the national team (nine in all) and was finally appointed to the squad for the 2010 World Cup . After regular player Philippe Senderos injured himself in the opening game against Spain in the 23rd minute, Steve von Bergen was used for the first time in his national team career in a major tournament and finally celebrated a historic victory with Switzerland (1-0).
