Blue-White 90 Berlin

--- CONTENT ---
Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin (officially: Sportliche Vereinigung Blau-Weiß 1890 e.V.) was a German sports club from Berlin-Mariendorf. He gained notoriety through his football department, which participated twice in the final round for the German Football Championship and in 1986 in the Bundesliga. After the license was withdrawn in 1992, the association had to file for bankruptcy and was dissolved. After the dissolution, the SV Blau Weiss Berlin was founded as an unofficial successor association, which since 2015 again bears the traditional name Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin.

History

The parent clubs

The association Blue-White 90 Berlin was founded on 27. July 1927 by merger of Berliner FC Vorwärts 1890 with the Berlin TuFC Union 1892. The BFC Vorwärts 90 was founded on 2 November 1890 and became 1902 and 1903 March and 1921 Brandenburg football champions. The club's biggest success was entering the final match for the German Football Championship 1920/21, which the team lost in Düsseldorf with 0:5 against 1st FC Nuremberg. With Walter Fritzsche, Georg Schumann, Albert Weber and Karl Wolter, Vorwärts produced four German national players.

The second main club was the Berlin TuFC Union in 1892, which was founded on 8 November. June 1892 was founded. Union was won in 1905 by a 2-0 final over the Karlsruhe FV German champion. Like merger partners Vorwärts 90, Union 92 produced four German internationals with Paul Eichelmann, Otto Hantschick, Ernst Poetsch and Hans Ruch. Both clubs could no longer build on their sporting successes in the mid-1920s and wanted to counter the sporting downward trend with the merger.

After the merger (1927 to 1945)

The hopes placed in the merger association could not be fulfilled at first. Blue-White 90 retired in the first season after the merger from the Berlin Oberliga and did not return until 1930. Three years later, the Mariendorfers were among the founding members of the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg. After two fourth places, blue and white slipped in the table and had to descend in 1937. A year later, due to the better goal quotient compared to BSG Lorenz Berlin, the direct revival succeeded. At the same time, the most successful phase of the club's history before the Second World War was initiated. After a 1-0 victory on the last match day against the SV Elektra Berlin, the blue-whites immediately secured the Gau Championship due to the better goal quotient over Hertha BSC.

The Mariendorfers started the final round for the German championship with a 3:3 against the Hamburger SV and a 2:1 at the SV Hindenburg Allenstein. From the following four games, however, only one point was added by a 1:1 at VfL Osnabrück and Blue-White was group last. A year later, the team missed the title defense when they lost in the finals for the Gau Championship Union Oberschöneweide. From 1940 onwards, the deu
