history

Main article: History of Union Oberschöneweide

Union Oberschöneweide is the subsidiary of Union 92 . The FC Olympia Oberschöneweide, founded on June 17, 1906, ran between 1907 and 1909 as the youth team of Union 92 and then took over the name "Union" and the blue and white game colors. In 1910, Union Oberschöneweide opened up for other sports, including bowling. In 1920 the footballers inaugurated the stadium at the Alte Försterei and became Berlin champions for the first time . Three years later they were able to win this title again and advanced to the final of the German championship in 1923 , where they had to admit defeat to Hamburger SV 3-0.

After the end of the war, the players of the SC Union Oberschöneweide competed as SG Oberschöneweide and since 1948 as SG Union Oberschöneweide. The bowling department was re-registered on January 21, 1951. Participation in the German championship in 1950 was forbidden by the GDR government, whereupon a large part of the team withdrew to the FRG and founded the SC Union 06 Berlin . In the following league season , the weakened SG Union Oberschöneweide reached only one relegation place. For the 1951/52 league season , the best players were lost again, as they were delegated to BSG Motor Oberschöneweide (a predecessor of 1. FC Union Berlin ) by order of the GDR government , while the rest of them had to compete in the third-class state class Berlin . There occupied Union Oberschöneweide last place and formed the following season with the SVGG Grüna and a syndicate . From the season 1953/54 both clubs went their separate ways and Union Oberschöneweide was integrated into season A of the Berlin city class. With a circular to the members of the SC Union 06 Berlin who remained in the GDR, the football section head Paul Zimmermann triggered the "Zimmermann Affair" in 1961. In 1972 the venue was to be relocated from the Ernst-Thälmann-Stadion (today the Berlin-Brandenburg model park ) to Gosen , and the soccer department was then dissolved. The bowling, table tennis, artistic gymnastics and acrobatics departments will remain in the SG Union Oberschöneweide. Since the reunification in 1990, the association has been called SG Union Oberschöneweide 1910 eV
