Berliner FC Alemannia 1890
Initially the club played cricket which, alongside football and rugby, were English sports becoming popular in continental Europe at the time.They did not qualify to play in the new first division Gauligen formed that year in the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich and remained out of top-flight competition for the duration of World War II.After the war, Allied occupation of Germany ordered most organizations in the country disbanded, including sports and football clubs, as part of the process of denazification.They played out their turn in the first division as a mid-table side until relegated in 1956, followed by a single season re-appearance that ended in a last-place finish in 1957–58.The newly combined side played in the Landesliga Berlin (V) and enjoyed a brief surge of success, moving from the lower half of the table to two consecutive second-place finishes.
