BFC Preussen

Berliner FC Preussen 1894 e. V. (shortened to BFC Preussen) is a sports club in Berlin, Germany. It was founded in 1894. The club formerly had an ice hockey section, but it merged with Berliner Schlittschuhclub to form BSC Preussen in 1983.

Alongside Berlin Schlittschuhclub and the SC Charlottenburg, BFC Preussen was one of the pioneering clubs in the German ice hockey at the dawn of the 20th century. They won the Berlin Championship in 1910 and 1911. In 1928 and 1940 the team took part in the German Championship. The 1940 squad was combined with Zehlendorfer Wespen, forming KSG Preussen/Wespen.

After World War II, the club was reactivated and played exclusively in the lower-level leagues, namely the Oberliga and the Regionalliga.

The hockey club was dissolved in 1971. It remained dormant until 1975, when the merger of FASS Berlin and EHC Nord Berlin led to the re-establishment of BFC's hockey section. It began playing in the Oberliga North in 1975-76. After declining to participate in the qualification round in 1977-78, Preussen was relegated directly to the Regionalliga. After only one season in the league, they were promoted back to the Oberliga, where they played until 1983.

In the 1982-83 season, Preussen achieved promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. After that, a merger with Berliner SC took place to create BSC Preussen, which started the 1983-84 season in the 2nd BL.
