Weißenseer FC
Encyclopedia
Weißenseer FC is a German association football club
from district of Weißensee
in the city of Berlin. The clubs roots go back its founding on 8 September 1900, while more recently it has been linked with Sportverein Prussia Berlin and Pankower Fußball Verein Bergmann-Borsig
.
They won their way back to top-flight city competition in 1922 and, with the exception of the 1926–27 season, stayed there until 1931. The club grew during this time to include departments for athletics, boxing
, and hockey
. German football was reorganized under the Third Reich in 1933 and 16 regional top-flight divisions were formed. WFC found they were no longer competitive and they failed to break into the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg
.
It was standard practice in East Germany for clubs to have a sponsorship relationship with a local industry, service or government body as a Betriebssportgemeinschaft
and in 1956 Blau-Weiss became BSG Einheit Weißensee. They played under that name until 1990 at the Bezirksliga (III) and Bezirksklasse (IV) levels.
(V). The club's sponsorship deal with Eumako was only good for two years and ended in 1993. The season ended with Weissensee relegated after a 15th place finish.
In June 1993, the decision was made to join SV Prueßen Berlin, a large sports club without a football department. They played the 1993–94 season as SV Prueßen and earned a 9th place Landesliga result. Shortly after becoming part of Prueßen, that club merged with bankrupt side PFV Bergmann-Borsig which was part of fourth tier competition in the Oberliga Berlin
. The footballers had the choice of either taking the place of PFV in the city fourth division or leaving the club. A number of players left and the team slipped to lower division play.
Now once again part of the Landelsiga Berlin/2 and playing as Prueßen Berlin they earned a ninth place result in 1993–94. Shortly afterwards the bankrupt club PFV Bergmann-Borsig also joined SVP. The footballers had the choice of either taking the place of PFV in the city fourth division or leaving the club.
