BSG Stahl Brandenburg is a German association football club based in Brandenburg an der Havel, Brandenburg.
History
The club was formed in 1950 as BSG Einheit Brandenburg and played its earliest seasons in the II division of
By the end of the 90s they found themselves mired in financial difficulty. The club declared bankruptcy in 1998 and quickly re-formed as FC Stahl Brandenburg, but continued to stumble. In 2002, in a desperate move to save something of the club, a merger with crosstown rival Brandenburger SC Süd 05 to form FC Brandenburg was put into the works, but only went as far as the union of the clubs' youth sides. Fan protests from both sides – and more money problems – caused the merger to unravel the next year.
On 1 June 2022, the club was renamed BSG Stahl Brandenburg and plays in the tier seven Landesliga as a lower table side.
Rugby department
During the East German era, the club also had a rugby union department, which now is separate club, the Stahl Brandenburg Rugby.
