Union Berlin

Please see below.

1. FC Union Berlin was used by two clubs of football which shared a common root such as FC Olympia Oberschoneweide, founded in 1906 in Oberschoneweide which at the time was an area of Berlin. The club was given its current name SC Union 06 Oberschoneweide in 1910. Union is one of the top clubs in Berlin in the period between wars and regularly won local championships as well as playing in the National League, with participation during the 1923 German championship final, which they lost by a score of 0-3 in the final to Hamburger SV.

In the beginning, the team was dubbed "Schlosserjungs" (English"metalworker-boys") due to their blue and all-blue uniforms, similar to the traditional dress code worn by workers in the factories in that industry-based Oberschoneweide district. The most popular chant of Union supporters"Eisern Union! "Eisern Union!" (Iron Union) has also been heard around this point. The club was founded in 2005. the club has always had an image of working class as opposed to other clubs in the area with more middle-class backgrounds like Viktoria 89 Berlin, Blau-Weiss 89 Berlin, BSV 92 Berlin or Tennis Borussia Berlin.

The year 1933 was the time when German soccer was organized under Third Reich into 16 top-flight divisions, known as Gauligen. Oberschoneweide was incorporated into the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg league, where they usually had average and unexceptional results. They were cut in 1935 before returning to the first division in 1936, after a single season's absence. They placed first in the Group B within the division. They was then able to beat Blau-Weiss (1-2 3-1) to claim the overall title of division. This allowed the team to progress into the national tournaments in which they were eliminated to Rapid Wien in the opening round of the group (2-3 3-1, 3-1).). Union returned to its position as a mediocre team. They were then relegated 1942 and played in the last war-shortened Gauliga season between 1944 and 1945.

The club is acknowledged for its inventive and enthusiastic fan base as well as its song "Eisern Union" (Iron Union).

Following World War II, occupying Allied authorities declared the end of all associations in Germany which included football and sports associations. A new sports community, dubbed SG Oberschoneweide was established in the latter half of 1945. It was part of the City League organized immediately after the war. It was comprised of 4 regional divisions. The team didn't make it for the newly-created Oberliga Berlin (I) in 1946, following an inexperienced season. However, it received promotion in the year 1947. They winning the division title straight immediately and then regained its club status with the name SG Union Oberschoneweide in 1948-49.

The team finished the 1949-50 season with a second place in Berlin and was able to compete in the national finals. However, the escalating Cold War tensions led Soviet authorities to deny the team's travel permit to participate. Two Union teams were then formed as the majority of players and coaches left to the west , forming Sport-Club Union 06 Berlin which played in the playoff game scheduled at Kiel in the playoff match against Hamburger SV, losing 0-7.

The remaining players from the east played in the form of SG Union Oberschoneweide. A number of players who left to the west to join SC formed a third team called the Berliner Ballspiel-Club Sudost. The Western team was a formidable team until the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, which attracted huge crowds to games at the Olympiastadion. The city's division caused a change in the fortunes of BBC Sudost which plays today in the lower divisions in front of tiny crowds.

The branch in the eastern region of the club was subject to various names: Union Oberschoneweide (1950), BSG Motor Oberschoneweide (1951), SC Motor Berlin (1955), TSC Oberschoneweide (1957), TSC Berlin (1963) and finally, changing its name to football club 1. FC Union Berlin in 1966.

1. FC Union Berlin was founded as part of the reorganization of East German football in December 1965 and January 1966 when ten football clubs were established. The department of football of TSC Berlin was originally not included. Two clubs were initially scheduled to be established in East Berlin, to be created from the departments of football ASK Vorwarts Berlin and SC Dynamo Berlin. This was in direct contradiction to the initial plan, which planned only one football team in each district. The football team of TSC Berlin was only playing in the second division of DDR-Liga in the year.

1. FC Union Berlin was allegedly was founded by an influential Herbert Warnke. Herbert Warnke was the chairman of the national state-controlled trade union FDGB and was a participant in the SED Politburo. The two organizations ASK Vorwarts Berlin and SC Dynamo Berlin were part of the organs that were armed (German: Bewaffnete Organe der DDR). Warnke was adamant about the establishment of an additional "civilian club" for the poor who lived in East Berlin. He would later become a fervent supporter of 1. FC Union Berlin and a sponsorship member to the football club. 1. FC Union Berlin was established in the middle of one of the biggest industrial areas located in East Germany. The goal to the SED to secure the support of FDGB to support 1. FC Union Berlin was likely to be well-thought out. The FDGB unites all workers of East Germany and therefore was most likely to be the correct identity of an organization of workers. The club was established with a ceremony at the clubhouse of the VEB Transformatorenwerk Oberschoneheide "Karl Liebknecht" (TRO) in Oberschoneweide on the 20th of January, 1966. The club's founding was initiated by then-SED first Secretary of Kopenick, Hans Modrow. Similar to Herbert Warnke, Hans Modrow was also an active sponsor and a member of the group.

1. FC Union Berlin was the only football club that was not in the DDR-Oberliga league at the moment of its formation. As a football club that was dedicated it was elevated to the elite tier of elite clubs. The club's first presidency was that of the VVB's director general Highspannungsgerate and Kabel, Werner Otto, and his deputy was SED Second Secretary of East Berlin, Hans Wagner. 1. FC Union Berlin was state-funded and every club decision were made available to the central agency for sports, the DTSB. The DTSB was under the direct supervision under the SED Central Committee. 1. FC Union Berlin was the state-owned group VVB Hochspannungsgerate und Kabel. The club was originally sponsored through the FDGB. However, support from the FDGB was cut off in 1975 when Herbert Warnke was replaced by Harry Tisch as the chairman of the FDGB in the year 1975. Tisch began the political life of Rostock and subsequently offered his support to F.C. Hansa Rostock. The incident was significant because it showed the enormous influence that top politicians had on the sport during the time of East Germany.

1. FC Union Berlin would be supported by the district leaders and the ruling SED party. After the end to sponsorship of the FDBG the primary sponsor will be the local state-owned companies VEB Kabelwerk Oberspree (KWO), VEB Transformatorenwerk Oberschoneweide (TRO) and VEB Werk fur Fernsehelektronik (WF). 1. FC Union Berlin developed a fierce competition with BFC Dynamo and was backed through the Stasi. As their arch-rivals won 10 titles in succession, Union yo-yoed between the DDR-Oberliga and the DDR-Liga without much success. Union did be the winners of their first East German Cup in 1968 after they defeated FC Carl Zeiss Jena 2-1 but they lost in their second appearance in 1986, losing 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig by a score of 1-5.

The East German state-owned film studio DEFA made a documentary about the fans of 1. FC Union Berlin in 1989. The documentary is titled "And on Fridays, we go to the Green Hell" and is a story of a group of fans of 1. FC Union Berlin to both home and away matches throughout 1988-87 season.

Following German reunion in 1990 The team continued excel on the field but was close to crashing financially. They were able to get to the end of the tunnel and even get sponsors and a new sponsor, but only after they won their division twice in 1993 and 1994, as well as each time, being denied a licence to participate in the 2. Bundesliga because of their financial issues. The club also had a close encounter with financial ruin in 1997.

Union once again was close to making it into the 2. Bundesliga in 1999-2000 and 1998-99 however, they were disappointed. They did win in 2000-01 in the hands of Bulgarian director Georgi Vasilev, taking the Regionalliga Nord (III) and going up a division, to become the second most well-known side. In the same year, they played in the semi-finals of the German Cup where they lost 2 in the final to FC Schalke 04, and made it to the second round of UEFA Cup before being put out by Bulgarian team PFC Litex Lovech. The club was relegated into the Regionalliga Nord (III) in 2004-05 before moving to an NOFV-Oberliga Nord (IV) in 2005-06, before returning to third division play following winning their first Oberliga title. From 2008 to 2009, Union was one of the clubs that founded the 3. Liga and also its inaugural champion was crowned, taking the top spot and advancement into the 2. Bundesliga on 10 May.

An uproar erupted in 2011 , when it was made public knowledge that the club's president Dirk Zingler had been a participant in the Felix Dzerzhinsky Guards Regiment for three years in his service in the military. Two years earlier, Zingler had cancelled a sponsorship agreement with the company International Sport Promotion (ISP) due to the fact that the president of the company's board was an ISP Stasi officer. It was the Felix Dzerzhinsky Guards Regiment was the paramilitary branch that was part of Stasi. Zingler said that he planned to complete his time in Berlin and did not know that the regiment was a part of the Stasi. But, it was clear that the Felix Dzerzhinsky Guards Regiment was an elite regiment It was not possible to simply apply to the regiment. The Stasi chose those it believed would be the best fit in the regiment, [24] choosing only recruits who are "loyal to the regiment".

The team was in the second division until the season of 2018-19, when they received their first ever promotion to the Bundesliga after beating VfB Stuttgart in the relegation play-offs. Fans flooded the field after the win however, no one was injured.

Union Berlin became the first Bundesliga club from the former East Berlin and the fifth from the former East Germany, after Dynamo Dresden, Hansa Rostock, VfB Leipzig and Energie Cottbus. Union Berlin is the sixth team to be promoted to the 2. Bundesliga by beating the 16th Bundesliga squad in the playoffs beginning in the 1981-82 season. the other teams included Bayer Uerdingen, 1. FC Saarbrucken, Stuttgarter Kickers, 1. FC Nurnberg and Fortuna Dusseldorf. Prior to the start of Union Berlin's first campaign in the Bundesliga the club brought in Neven Subotic Anthony Ujah and Christian Gentner in addition to signing Marvin Friedrich, who had scored a crucial goal against Stuttgart in the play-offs the previous season, securing promotion to the club. The first Bundesliga score was scored by Sebastian Andersson in a 1-1 draw against Augsburg. On the 31st of August the club won its first Bundesliga victory, beating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 at home in a game. The club ended the season 11th and had Sebastian Andersson scoring 12 goals.

On the 22nd of May in 2021 in the second Union Berlin Bundesliga season it was confirmed that the club would be a part of the first UEFA Europa Conference League after finishing seventh following an 2-1 victory at home over RB Leipzig, with Max Kruse confirmed the club's debut European campaign in 20 years and scoring in the 92nd minute.

In 1920, SC Union Oberschoneweide (forerunner of the present 1. FC Union Berlin) had to locate an alternative home since its old ground was being redeveloped by developers who had constructed residential structures. The club was relocated far away from its city, to the northern part of the Borough of Kopenick. The stadium was inaugurated in August 1920, with the first game between Oberschoneweide and the German champions 1. FC Nurnberg (1-2). The first match the Alte Forsterei had already been played on the 17th of March when Union faced Viktoria the 89ers of Berlin.

When Union was promoted in the DDR-Oberliga (the highest level of football within East Germany) in 1966 The stadium then needed to be increased in size. The stadium was initially extended in the year 1970, after it was reconstructed. Gegengerade terrace was elevated, and further expansions to the terracing on both ends during the latter part of 1970 and into the early 1980s increased capacity to 22,500. The sparse facilities in Alte Forsterei had quickly begun to age and began to experience a severe decline.

Following German reunion, in which Union were allocated to the German Football Association to play in the third division, the stadium that was in disuse proved to be to be only one of issues that hindered the club's efforts to move to the top leagues.

At the beginning of the 2008 season, the team took the decision to modernize the stadium, which was the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei (Old Forester's House). It was a difficult time for money and the fans constructed the stadium by themselves. Over 22,000 Union supporters worked 140,000 hours to construct what is now thought of as the largest stadium specifically designed for football in Berlin. [33] During the redevelopment, Union played at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark. In the stadium, an array of beer kiosks outside and open-air grills serving bratwurst and pork steaks in the rear of the stadium are the mainstays of the food scene. The stadium's official opening, on 12 July 2013 was marked with the opening of a friendly match in the match against Scottish Champion Celtic. The stadium can accommodate 22,012 people and 3,617 seats. The rest are an area for terracing.

In 2014 the club had an idea to invite their supporters to bring their couches to the field during the entire World Cup, in order to watch live games in the company of other fans. Over 800 sofas were positioned on the field in rows before an enormous screen. The event was later honoured by the Fan Experience Award at The Stadium Business Summit 2015 in Barcelona.

1. FC Union Berlin is recognized as one of Europe's "cult" clubs, built on numerous innovative fan and club initiatives in the past two decades.

The club's nicknames is Eiserne (the Iron Ones) or Eisern Union (Iron Union). The names evolved from the previous name Schlosserjungs (metalworker guys) in reference to the blue shirt that the Union was a part of, since it was in reference to the overalls worn by local laborers.

The first time this happened was in May 2004. supporters raised enough funds to get the club's licence for fourth division football by an initiative called "Bleed for Union'. The slogan was not intended to be a metaphor. One aspect to the campaign's message was the fact that the fans offered blood donation to Berlin hospitals, and then donated the funds they received at the hospital's bloodbank to the clubs.

In the years following the year 2010, Union Berlin became increasingly appealing to new Berliners, and even internationals who were attracted to the atmosphere and atmosphere of the club.

In the East German era, 1. FC Union Berlin was known for its competition with BFC Dynamo and was thought to be associated to the powerful state security services that was part of East Germany (Stasi). Union was backed by the district leaders of the ruling SED party, and was backed by local state-owned businesses. The club played a significant role in the opposition that was not officially against the ruling authorities of the communist regime. Between 1979 between 1979 and 1989, BFC Dynamo was awarded a string of ten East German league titles, with a plethora of allegations of sports infractions fueling the rivalry. Likewise, tensions between both sets supporters took place. BFC Dynamo was seen as the ultimate representative of the security services, having advantages in the selection of players, financial backing and the influence associated with Erich Mielke. The supporters of Union created an image for their team as an forever underdog and was embedded within the class of workers. Union became the most well-known football club of East Berlin.

It is reported that fans from 1. FC Union Berlin often chanted "The wall must come down! " in allusion in reference to the Berlin Wall, when the players were able to create an obstacle when they played free kicks during the the 1980s. But some sources claim that this is an oversimplified myth. The supporters of Union considered themselves to be stubborn and rebellious. This image must not be misinterpreted as resistance in the real sense. For some people who are supporters of Union the reputation of dissidents is a mythology that was created following Die Wende. The honorary the president of Union Gunter Mielis stated: "Union was not a organization of rebels However, we had to face the economic and political opposition repeatedly. We were able to rely on our members". Political issues were not the forefront. The majority of the people who voted for Union were ordinary football fans. There was no political group at Union. One fan of Union in during the East German era has said: "With the best of intentions, Union fans did not help in the dismantling of GDR. There was no way we were attracted by football. There's a cliche that says the club being for the people who were enemies of the state but we weren't one of them". The supporters from Union during time to East German era have testified that Union had the highest importance. It was also said that the association with Union was in part with Kopenick.

In spite of 1. FC Union Berlin and Hertha BSC being the two largest clubs in Berlin the rivalry between the two clubs has been much less evident. The bonds of friendship between both clubs emerged within the dividing walls of Berlin. The first contact between the supporters of both clubs began during the 70s. Fans of Hertha went to Hertha's Stadion An der Alten Forsterei and those of Union joined the supporters of Hertha during times when Hertha was playing in Eastern Bloc countries, such as the quarter-finals of the 1978-1979 UEFA Cup against Dukla Prague. The slogans and chants included "Ha-Ho-He There is only two teams in the Spree - Union and Hertha BSC" (German: Ha-Ho-He, there are only two Mannschaften an der Spree - Union und Hertha BSC) and "Hertha and Union - one nation" (German: Hertha und Union - A Nation) was a hit with the two sets of supporters. The two sets of supporters came together for the first time after the opening of the Berlin wall during the first edition of the indoor tournament "Internationales Berliner Hallenfussballturnier" in the Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle on 18-20 January 1990. The supporters from Union and Hertha have since also sung the xenophobic and nationalist songs.

On January 27, 1990, just 79 days after that fall of the Berlin Wall, Hertha hosted Union Berlin at the Olympiastadion in a friendly match in front of 52,000 people. Fans from both clubs paid for their tickets in East and West Germany's currencies, and sung songs about German reunion as Hertha defeated Union Berlin by a score of 2-1. Two decades after, on the 17th of September 2010, the two teams played each other for the second time, for their first match in competition on the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei and drew 1-1 in the 2. Bundesliga. 2 November 2019: Union Berlin faced Hertha at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the first match between the two clubs of the top division in German football. A 87th minute Sebastian Polter penalty secured a 1-1 win for Union in a match that was briefly stopped by the referee Deniz Aytekin following the incident of fireworks shot by Hertha fans that landed among Union Berlin fans, as also on the field. 1100 police officers were on duty during the game as Hertha supporters torching Union Berlin shirts, flags and scarves in the course of the match. The Hertha supporters Hertha were with 20-25 supporters from BFC Dynamo in the guest block. At the end of full time, Union Berlin goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz received praise from media and fans alike for escorting Union Berlin ultras from the field of play after a minor pitch invading designed to target Hertha supporters.

Union Berlin also holds rivalries with Hansa Rostock, Dynamo Dresden and Magdeburg that date back to the time when the teams played with each other in the DDR Oberliga.

Recently the club has also developed an adversary against RB Leipzig, following the transfer of teams and licenses from the fifth division team SSV Markranstadt financed by Red Bull GmbH and the move of Leipzig in Bundesliga. Bundesliga system. In 2011 Union Berlin ran adverts against the club's investment and also cancelled an official pre-season match against the team. On the 21st September 2014 Union Berlin fans staged an uninvolved protest during the first 15 minutes of a two. Bundesliga home match with RB Leipzig, labelling RB Leipzig as a "marketing product that is pushed through financial interest" with "brainwashed fans in the seats". Union Berlin won the game 1-1. On the 18th of August the first ever Bundesliga match, played in the home stadium in a match against RB Leipzig, the club's oldest ultras group known as the Wuhlesyndikat was able to successfully call for a 15-minute silence before the team's 2019-20 opening.

"The official Union Berlin song is "Eisern Union" by German punk artist Nina Hagen. The song has been recorded by the band in 1998. Four versions were made available on a CD single issued by G.I.B Music and Distribution GmbH.

The well-known supporters' chant "EisernUnion" (Iron Union) bounces back and forth between terraces dubbed Waldseite as well as the Gegengerade which is then immediately followed by a mutual acknowledgement applause.

Union Berlin is also well famous for its Christmas festivities that are celebrated at their stadium. In 2003, the annual Union Weihnachtssingen started as an informal gathering, to which only 90 people attended. As of 2013, 27500 were in attendance, including players and fans of other teams from Germany as well as Europe. The fans consume Gluhwein (mulled alcohol) as they wave candles around lighting flares, and sing a mixture of Christmas carols as well as football chants.

Ritter Keule (Literally: Cudgel the Knight) is the mascot of Union Berlin. He was first introduced in 2000.
