History

The club was founded in 1893 and formed an ice hockey section in 1908, who won the City of Berlin Championship in 1910. When the German Ice Hockey Championship was introduced in 1912, the club dominated, winning seventeen titles between 1912 and 1937. In 1923, Berliner SC played the final of the first-ever Spengler Cup in Davos, losing 3-7 to Oxford University team, [2] and won the very next tournament in 1924, beating HC Davos in the final. [3] Another German title was added in 1944 in the final season contested during the Second World War, by a wartime combined team of Berliner SC and SC Brandenburg Berlin playing as Kriegsspielgemeinschaft Berlin.

After the Second World War, the club played under the name of EG Berlin-Eichkamp, before being renamed Berliner Schlittschuchclub again in 1951. As EG Berlin-Eichkamp, they finished as runner-up in the German Championships in 1947 and 1949.

In the 1958–59 season, the club continued playing in the Oberliga, but did not qualify for the newly founded Ice hockey Bundesliga. They remained in the second tier Oberliga for most of the 60s, except 1966–67, before they were promoted to the Bundesliga for the 1972–73 season.

Berliner SC won the ice hockey Bundesliga title in 1974, for the first time since 1944, and won the title again two years later, in 1976.

In 1981 the ice hockey section was split from the main club, as Berliner Schlittschuh-Club Eishockey e. V. After just one season, BSchC had to withdraw from the Bundesliga due to financial problems. The club's team switched to the newly founded BSC Preussen that was formed together with the ice hockey section of BFC Preussen. BSC Preussen started in the 2nd Bundesliga and later played in the Bundesliga and Deutsche Eishockey Liga before dropping to lower leagues and folding in 2005.

BSchC remained as a club and started a new ice hockey section in 1983, in the fourth tier Regionalliga Nord. Winning promotion in their first season, they played in the Oberliga until they withdrew after the 1986–87 season. The team continued in lower divisions. In 1991, the ice hockey section of Berliner SV Akademie der Wissenschaften who had earned a place in the Regionalliga Nord joined BSchC. In 1992, the ice hockey section was once again split from the main club as Berliner Schlittschuh-Club Eishockey and played in the Oberliga and 2. Liga (both third tier at the time) in some of the following years. Later the ice hockey club rejoined the main club BSchC. In 2004, BSchC entered a cooperation with the BC Preussen, the former Berlin Capitals who played in the Oberliga after filing for bankruptcy, for the 2004–05 Oberliga season. The combined club played as BSC Preussen once again before folding after just one season. BSchC continued on its own in 2005.

In 2007, the main club Berliner Schlittschuhclub expelled its ice hockey section which was therefore reformed as a new club, first as Berliner Schlittschuh-Club 2007 Eissport, then as Eissport- und Schlittschuh-Club 2007 Berlin (ESC 2007 Berlin). ESC played in the Verbandsliga, Regionalliga (4th tier), and since 2018 Landesliga Berlin (fifth tier). In summer 2020, ESC changed its name to Berliner Schlittschuh-Club. In 2020, the unofficial successor of BSC Preussen, ECC Preussen, went bankrupt and folded. Their seconds side switched to BSchC. Starting in the 2020–21 season, BSchC has therefore fielded two sides in the Landesliga Berlin. [4] [5]
