After the end of the World War II, most organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs, were ordered to be disbanded by the Allied administration as part of the process of denazification. BSV was re-formed as Sportgeminde Wilmersdorf and resumed playing in the Berlin league in 1945. They won Gruppe A and then took the league title in a four-team playoff. The Berlin league became the Oberliga Berlin (I) the next season and Wilmersdorf earned two consecutive second-place finishes. The club took on its old name for the 1948–49 season and as Berliner SV went on to capture divisional titles in 1949 and 1954 before once again going out early in the national playoffs.
The team did not seriously challenge again through the late 1950s and early 1960s. When the Bundesliga, Germany's new professional football league, was formed in 1963, the club found itself playing in the second division Regionalliga Berlin. 1974 brought the beginning of a slide that would see the team descend through the Amateurliga Berlin (III) to the Landesliga Berlin (IV) by the end of the decade. By the turn of the millennium BSV was playing seventh-division football in the Bezirksliga Berlin. Today the team plays in the Kreisliga Berlin A, Staffel 2 (IX).
