The club dropped the name FV Dresden-Nord on 1 July 2007 and adopted its current name to help encourage new sponsorship support.

The club was formed as Fußballverein Dresden-Nord on 15 August 1991 out of the merger of the football sections of Motor TuR Dresden-Übigau and FS Dynamo Dresden-Heide.

The latter had long served as a farm team supplying talent to the city's number one club Dynamo Dresden.

The combined side quickly established itself, advancing out of the Bezirksliga Dresden (VI) to play in the Landesliga Sachsen (V) in 1993.

Although their play was generally un-distinguished, the footballers did manage four final appearances in the city cup competition (1967, 1972, 1990, 1991) coming away victorious only in the last of these contests.
