History
The team was made up of former members and players of the club ''SG Union Oberschöneweide'', predecessor of current-day club ''
1. FC Union Berlin
1. Fußballclub Union Berlin e. V., commonly known as 1. FC Union Berlin () or Union Berlin, is a professional German football club in Köpenick, Berlin.
The club's origins can be traced to 1906, when its predecessor FC Olympia Oberschöneweid ...
'', who left the
Soviet-occupied eastern half of the city when clubs located there were denied the opportunity to take part in citywide and national championships and were instead made part of the
separate football competition that was emerging in
East Germany. Originally based in the
Poststadion in Moabit, the club soon took up residence at Wrangelstraße to better accommodate club members living in Kreuzberg and Köpenick.
The team first advanced to the
Amateurliga Berlin (II) in 1954 for a three season turn. They were absent from upper level play through the 1960s until returning to now third tier Amateurliga play in 1969. They delivered their best performances in the early 1970s when the side included a number of former players from one time
Bundesliga (I) club ''
Tasmania Berlin'', who were nearing the end of their careers. The team captured the Amateurliga title in 1973 and won promotion to the Regionalliga Berlin (II). That title also earned ''BBC'' a place in the opening round of the national amateur championship where they were put out (1–4, 1–1) by ''
Büdelsdorfer TSV''.
The team's Regionalliga season ended with a 9th-place finish and relegation. After two poor Amateurliga campaigns, ''Südost'' slipped out of sight into lower level play before being disbanded in 1990.
