Bonner SC is a German football club based in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia. The club was formed in 1965 through the merger of Bonner FV and Tura Bonn.
Bonner FV was founded in 1901 and was known early on as the "Club of Academics" because many of its leaders and members were teachers and professors. The side achieved good results as a tier II team prior to World War II. In 1959, FV won the Verbandsliga Mittelrhein (III) championship and moved up to 2.Liga West (Division Two West).
Tura was formed in 1925 through a merger of the clubs FC Normannia and FC Borussia and drew its membership from the working class. The new side's lineage also includes the club FC Regina Bonn founded in 1904. Like Bonner FV, Tura played as a tier II team and their greatest success was in winning the 1962 west German amateur championship and their subsequent appearance in the national amateur final, which they lost 0:1 to SC Tegel.
Since its founding in 1965, the new club has played as a tier III or IV side except for a handful of seasons spent in various level II leagues between 1966-67 and 1976-77. In 2000-01, they fell as low as Verbandsliga Mittlerhein (V), but are currently playing in Oberliga Nordrhein (IV).
