History

The earliest roots of the association go back to the founding of the football club ''Neustrelitzer Fußball Club'' which soon grew into a more general sports club known as ''Neustrelitzer Sportverein''. The sports club failed after 1919, but the football department immediately re-established themselves as ''Ballspielverein Neustrelitz''. A second local football club known as ''SV Viktoria Neustrelitz'' was formed in 1925 and was joined by ''BV'' the following year. ''Viktoria'' in turn merged with ''SG Corso Neustrelitz'' in 1931 to form '' SG Corso Viktoria Neustrelitz'' which played through to the end of World War II when occupying Allied authorities ordered all organizations in the country, including sports and football associations, disbanded. A successor was created in 1946 as ''SG Neustrelitz'', and as was common in

The club took on its current name in 1975 after being disassociated from its industrial sponsor. The club made several ascents to the second division DDR-Liga, but was never able to firmly establish itself at that level of play. In 1963 it appeared that ''BSG'' had won its way through a playoff round to the DDR-Liga, but found itself disqualified over the use of an ineligible player. After being promoted in 1964 ''Neutrelitz'' would play its way to the 1/8 final of the
