[edit] History
Alba Berlin traces its history back to BG Charlottenburg, which was founded in 1989. When in 1991 the waste management company Alba AG agreed to significant basketball sponsorship, BG Charlottenburg changed its name to Alba Berlin.
Only six years later, Alba Berlin won its first out of seven consecutive German Championships (1997 to 2003). The club has also won six German Cups in the years 1997, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2006, and 2009. Alba won its eighth German Championship in 2008.
