VfB Germania Halberstadt is a German association football club from Halberstadt, Saxony-Anhalt.

History

The club was founded on 26 October 1949 as BSG Reichsbahn Halberstadt before being re-named BSG Lokomotive Halberstadt in 1950. Through the 1970s the team played in the East German third division DDR-Bezirksliga.

After German reunification in 1990 the team was re-established as ESV Halberstadt and spent two seasons in the Verbandsliga Sachsen-Anhalt (IV) before slipping to the Landesliga Sachsen-Anhalt in 1992. The club was twice re-named (as VfB Halberstadt in 1993 and as FC Germania Halberstadt in 1994) before taking on its current identity in 1997.

A third place result in the Landesliga Sachsen-Anhalt Mitte (VI) and successful promotion playoff returned Halberstadt to the Verbandsliga in 2000 and after winning the division title in 2003 advanced to the Oberliga Nordost-Süd where they play today. The club earned its best result in 2008–09 with a 5th place finish.
