SV Stern-Britz is a German football club in Britz which is part of the city district of Neukölln in southcentral Berlin. The club was established on May 3, 1889 as Berliner Fußball Club Stern and was one of the founding clubs of the DFB (Deutscher Fußball Bund or German Football Association) at Leipzig in 1900.
History
The club played in Berlin's early city competition, capturing a title in 1904. Their achievements were modest with their highest advance being to the Berzirksliga Berlin in 1939, roughly equivalent to fifth division play today. The association collapsed and nearly disappeared in the aftermath of World War II but managed to re-establish itself on July 8, 1950 as 1. FC Neukölln Stern. They earned promotion to the Amateurliga (Verbandsliga) Berlin (III) in 1953 with their best result coming the following season when they finished in third place. Neukölln were relegated after the 1957-58 season after crashing to 15th place and disappeared into lower division competition.
Stern merged with SV Britz Süd 49 on June 15, 1973 making the transition from football club to a more broadly based sports club called SV Stern-Britz that also included departments for dance, darts, and swimming. Today the association offers its members aeobics, cheerleading, dance, and American football while still fielding its traditional football side. Much of the football department's focus has turned to its youth sides.
The American football team was founded as an independent club known as the Berlin Thunderbirds in 1992 and joined SV the following year. By 2002 it had grown into Berlin's largest American football team with close to 300 members.
