From 1904 to 1906 BTuFC Elf was part of the Märkischen Meisterschaft, one of two competing top-flight city leagues, where they earned only lower table finishes.

Kickers finished the 1926–27 campaign atop the Oberliga's Staffel B and played Hertha Berlin for the overall league title and were beaten (1:4, 2:6) although both clubs advanced to take part in the national playoffs.

Kickers were eliminated in the quarterfinals by defending champion SpVgg Fürth (0:9), while Hertha continued on to the second of what would be six consecutive final appearances.

After World War II, occupying Allied authorities disbanded organizations throughout the country, including sports and football clubs.

They re-adopted their historical identity as Kickers in 1949 and remained a second division club through most of the next two-and-a-half decades with single season appearances in the Oberliga Berlin (I) in 1953–54 and 1960–61.
