History
The club was founded on 12 July 1919.[4][5] During this time, Hans Berndt played for the club as a youth player. In 1937, the club merged with MTV 1906 Staaken and formed TSV Staaken 1906. The club then merged again in 1942 with BSG Klüssendorf and formed KSG Staaken/Klüssendorf until the end of World War II.[6]
After the war ended in 1945, Lufthansa SG Berlin dissolved and joined the team to create SG Staaken.[7] The team was able to win Group C of the 1945–46 Oberliga Berlin,[8] but finished in 3rd place behind SG Wilmersdorf and SG Prenzlauer Berg-West in the championship stage. They stayed in the league for another season but were relegated to the 1. Amateurliga.[9]
The club split in 1948 and parts of the club became MTV 06 Staaken. SC Staaken then spent many years in the Regionalliga Berlin and the amateur leagues. The club made it to the 4th round of the 1981/1982 Berliner Landespokal but were defeated by FC Wacker Lankwitz, 5–0. The club earned promotion to what is now called the Berlin-Liga in 1986 and were eventually relegated to the 7th tier Landesliga Berlin. In 2017, they earned promotion into the 5th tier league, NOFV-Oberliga. As of January 2023, the club currently competes in the NOFV-Oberliga Nord.[10]
