However, the team only came away victorious in one of those title matches when they finally defeated VfB Königsberg (3:2) in 1912 after being beaten by that club in 1908 and 1909 (0:11, 0:1).

Following the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich into sixteen top-flight divisions, BuEV became part of the Gauliga Ostpreußen (I).

BuEV disappeared with the end of World War II when the city of Danzig and surrounding territory became part of Poland.
