Their stay in the top flight was only for a single season, but the team went on to capture DDR-Liga titles in each of their next two campaigns and won their way through the promotion playoffs in 1974 to return to the Oberliga.

After another single season turn in the Oberliga Stralsund captured another pair of DDR-Liga titles over the next seven years, while finishing as runners-up five times.

Throughout this period from 1968 to 1989 ASG took part each year in FDGB-Pokal (East German Cup) play, but was never able to do better than an advance to the quarter-finals on four separate occasions.

On 17 July 1990, on the eve of the reunification of Germany, BSG became part of the resurrected traditional side TSV 1860 Stralsund.

The team played a final season in the DDR-Liga – delivering a poor 16th-place result and going out in the opening round of the FDGB-Pokal – before the football competitions of East and West Germany were combined.
