The club was formed on 1 July 2013 from a merger of BFC Viktoria 1889 and Lichterfelder FC.

It was the dominant club in Berlin in the early 1900s and won the German championship in 1908 and 1911.

The club led 2020–21 Regionalliga Nordost when the Northeastern German Football Association (NOFV) decided to end the season prematurely after eleven rounds played due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

BFC Viktoria 1889, on the other hand, played its home matches at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stadion in the locality of Tempelhof of the borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg.

[12] The club was finally allowed to play at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark in the locality of Prenzlauer Berg in the borough of Pankow.

The operating permit for the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Stadion originally expired on 31 December 2020 and the complex is awaiting a major redevelopment.
