Fußballclub Askania Forst first came to prominence in the 1909–10 season, advancing to the regional Südostdeutschland final where they were beaten 1:3 by VfR Breslau . [1]
The following year, Askania again advanced to the final and this time came away victorious with a 3:2 win over Germania Breslau .
