SC Teutonia Berlin
Encyclopedia
SC Teutonia Berlin was a German association football club
from the city of Berlin
. Established in 1899, the club was lost in 1944 in the late stages of World War II
.
The team first came to note following a merger with Berliner Sport Club Hansa 01 which was followed by its participation in the Märkische Meisterschaft
, one of several first division circuits active in the city early in the 20th century. Teutonia earned consecutive seventh place finishes over two seasons in 1908-10 before being relegated. In 1913, the club merged with VfV Berlin to play as VfV Teutonia 1899 Berlin.
In June 1933, VfV Teutonia was joined by Berliner FC Alliance-Colombia 08 (established 29 December 1908) in a short-lived merger as VfV Teutonia-Colombia 1899 Berlin. Alliance-Colombia was the product of the earlier 15 August 1928 union of SC Alliance 06 Berlin and Berliner FC Colombia 08. Many of the former members of Alliance-Colombia immediately left VfV in July 1933 to form Berliner FC Britannia. This was the start of a thread that over the course of six decades would see the tradition of that club become part of present-day side Weddinger FC Corso 99/Vineta
. Their departure left VfV 1899 Berlin which was active from 1934 until lost in 1944.
