History

FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin was formed in a merger of BFC Viktoria 1889, one of the oldest football clubs in Germany, and Lichterfelder FC, a club which had gone through a number of name changes and mergers before.
Since the merger, Viktoria Berlin has been playing in the Regionalliga Nordost, courtesy of a 2012–13 title in the NOFV-Oberliga Nord won by BFC Viktoria 1889.
The club won the Berliner Landespokal, the local cup competition in Berlin, in 2014 and thereby qualified for the first round of the 2014–15 DFB-Pokal where it lost 2–0 to the Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.
