[1] FV fielded strongly competitive sides in the early 1900s until the club briefly split in two with the formation of TuFV Helvellia Berlin.

Both Brandenburg and Lichterfeld were playing second-tier football through this period with SCB winning promotion to the top-flight for a two-year turn that ended in 1925 after which BBC again became an independent side.

At the outbreak of World War II FV formed a partnership with Rot-Weiß-Schöneberg in order to be able to continue to field a team during the conflict.

At war's end in 1945 occupying Allied authorities ordered the dissolution of all organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs.

VfB won promotion to the Oberliga Berlin (III) in 1989, became a founding member of NOFV-Oberliga in 1991, and played there continuously until being demoted in 2004 after a 16th-place finish.
