BFC 93 became one of the founding clubs of the DFB (Deutscher Fussball Bund, en:German Football Association) at Leipzig in 1900.

They played top flight city football in the Märkischer Fussball Bund from 1904 to 1907 before slipping to lower-tier competition.

The team then played as BSC Eintract-Borussia vom Jahre 1893 Berlin until the end of World War II when, like most other organizations in the country including sports and football clubs, it was dissolved by occupying Allied authorities.

SGN joined East German competition and took part in just a single season of top flight postwar play.

The club narrowly missed promotion in 1984 on goal difference and then went through a difficult period as it struggled financially.
