Stern remained a lower circuit team through to the end of World War II.

Following the conflict, occupying Allied authorities banned organizations throughout the country, including sports and football clubs, as part of the process of de-Nazification.

They earned promotion to the Amateurliga Berlin (III) in 1953 with their best result coming the following season when they finished in third place.

Stern merged with Spielvereinigung Britz Süd 1949 on 15 June 1973 making the transition from a football club to a more broadly based sports club called Sportverein Stern Britz 1889 that also included departments for dance, darts, and swimming.

The American football team was founded as an independent club known as the Berlin Thunderbirds in 1992 and joined SV the following year.
