[edit] History
Through the early 20s the club went through other mergers and played football in the Oberliga Berlin-Brandenburg (I) as Union-SCC Charlottenburg - through its association with FC Union Halsensee (1898) - with their best result coming in 1921 when they finished as vice-champions after losing a two game final to Norden-Nordwest Berlin (2:4, 0:1). The club changed its name to SC Charlottenburg in 1927 and was relegated that same year. SCC returned to the Oberliga for a single season in 1928-29.
Charlottenburg played lower tier football throughout the 30s and most of the 40s. After World War II it was one of a number of sides that was part of a single association known as SG Charlottenburg representing the district. The combined side re-appeared in the top flight in the Oberliga Berlin in 1946, promptly capturing the division title.
SG Charlottenburg soon began to break up into its original separate clubs and in 1949 SC Charlottenburg re-emerged to play third tier football. They were promoted to the Amateurliga Berlin in 1950 for a three season turn before being relegated. In 1963, the same year that the Bundesliga, Germany's new professional league, was formed, SCC made a single season appearance in the Amateurliga before slipping from sight into lower division play.
Charlottenburg enjoyed a brief resurgence in the early 80s, rising quickly through the Landesliga Berlin (IV) and the Amateur Oberliga Berlin (III) to play the 1983-84 season in the 2. Bundesliga. That campaign ended in the failure of an 18th place finish and relegation. The team remained competitive, earning a second place result in the Oberliga in 1985 and another title in 1986. SCC took part in the subsequent promotion round for 2. Bundesliga play, but finished behind St. Pauli and Rot-Weiß Essen, before crashing disastrously to a last-place finish the following season. The club competed in the third and fourth division through the balance of the 80s and well on into the 90s before finally slipping to the fifth tier Verbandsliga Berlin where they play today.
[edit] Other activities
Today one of Berlin's largest sports clubs, SCC offers a wide variety of activities to its membership including American football, baseball and softball, basketball, handball, ice hockey, field hockey, athletics, tennis, swimming, and volleyball.
SCC's volleyball team captured nation titles in 1993, 2003, and 2004, as well as German Cups in 1994, 1996, and 2000.
[edit] Stadium
The football side plays its home matches in the Mommsenstadion (capacity: 11,500, ~1,700 seats) which was built in 1930 and known originally as SCC-Stadion.
