Before the reunification of Germany, Turbine Potsdam were one of the predominant teams in East German women's football.

In 2020, Turbine Potsdam entered into a three-year cooperation agreement with the men's football club Hertha BSC in the neighboring Berlin.

The club was an "enterprise sports community" (Betriebssportgemeinschaft) (BSG), supported by the local energy supplier.

On New Year's Eve 1970, Bernd Schröder, an employee of the energy supplier, discovered a strange piece of paper on the company's blackboard.

Each player received 50 East German mark and Schröder was awarded the title "Activist of socialist work".

Their success was recognized in the rest of Europe and Turbine was invited for tournaments in the Netherlands and Italy.

The club wasn't even allowed to travel to tournaments in other communist countries in case some teams from western Europe participated.

Many players retired, and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the company who supported the club ran into financial difficulties.

The first Bundesliga match ended in disaster after Turbine lost 0–11 at home to FC Rumeln-Kaldenhausen.

Schröder told Rheine's manager Alfred Werner that Lange would be fired if Turbine lost the match.

Schröder wanted to discuss the situation in private with Lange, but the two were surrounded by journalists and players.

Strengthened by players from Tennis Borussia Berlin, the defense was much better but the team again finished in sixth.

On 12 March 1999, the women's section of the SSV Turbine Potsdam decided to establish a separate club.

For the third time, the team reached the cup semi-final but failed in the penalty shootout against FFC Flaesheim-Hillen.

They acquired striker Petra Wimbersky from Munich, young international Navina Omilade from Brauweiler and the highly talented Anja Mittag from Aue.

The season started with a shock first cup round exit to second division side Hamburger SV.

On the last day of the season, titleholder Frankfurt went to Potsdam's Karl Liebknecht Stadion for the final showdown.

Frankfurt was two points clear at the top so Potsdam had to win the match to clinch the title.

Nadine Angerer, Ariane Hingst, Viola Odebrecht and Conny Pohlers went on to become world champions.

Hamburg led 1–0 until the dying minutes of the game until Viola Odebrecht equalized with a desperate shot.

In the second leg, early goals by Conny Pohlers and Petra Wimbersky secured a 3–1 win and Turbine's biggest triumph to date.

Turbine then won 6–2 at Frankfurt (with four goals scored by Conny Pohlers) and a comfortable 2–0 win over Duisburg.

In the cup final, Potsdam won 2–0 against Frankfurt thanks to two late goals by Isabel Kerschowski and Petra Wimbersky.

After a poor start into the season and an early cup exit to Duisburg, Turbine was far from defending their title.

At the beginning of 2008, Turbine signed the Norway international Leni Larsen Kaurin, the only Norwegian woman footballer playing in Germany.

At the end of the 2008/09 season, Turbine won a bit surprised the hard and close contest to the championship against Bayern Munich and Duisburg.
