History of Berliner FC Dynamo (1954–1978)

The history of BFC Dynamo began with the founding of sports club SC Dynamo Berlin in 1954. SC Dynamo Berlin entered the 1954-55 DDR-Oberliga after taking over the first team of SG Dynamo Dresden and its place in the league. The relocation was designed to provide the East German capital with a competitive team that could rival the teams from West Berlin. Prominent players in the team were Günter Schröter, Johannes Matzen, and Herbert Schoen. SC Dynamo Berlin captured its first trophy in the 1959 FDGB-Pokal. The team then finished the 1960 DDR-Oberliga as runners-up. However, the team of SC Dynamo Berlin in the 1960s would be relatively weak. It would be overshadowed in the capital by ASK Vorwärts Berlin.

The football department of SC Dynamo Berlin was reorganized as football club BFC Dynamo in 1966. BFC Dynamo was relegated to the second tier DDR-Liga after the 1966-67 DDR-Oberliga. The club then began a process to rejuvenate the team. Harald Schütze and Norbert Johannsen were among the young players that were given the opportunity to make appearances with the first team in the 1967-68 DDR-Liga. Other young players from the youth department that would join the first team over the next seasons were Peter Rohde, Frank Terletzki and Bernd Brillat. BFC Dynamo finished the 1970-71 FDGB-Pokal as runners-up and thus qualified for its first UEFA competition. The team reached the semi-finals of the 1971-72 European Cup Winners' Cup before losing to Dynamo Moscow in a penalty shoot-out; BFC Dynamo became the first and so far only football club in Berlin to have reached the semi-finals of the most prestigious European club competitions.

The successful 1971–72 season was followed by a decline. However, BFC Dynamo developed a highly successful youth academy in the 1970s. The club gained access to a nationwide scouting network supported by numerous training centres (German: Trainingszentrum) (TZ) of SV Dynamo across East Germany. Young talented players from the youth department were continuously integrated into the first team. BFC Dynamo had the youngest team in the 1975-76 DDR-Oberliga, with an average age of only 22.5 years. BFC Dynamo eventually established itself as one of the top-teams in the DDR-Oberliga from the mid-1970s. Prominent players in the team in the late 1970s were Frank Terletzki, Wolf-Rudiger Netz, Reinhard Lauck, Hans-Jürgen Riediger, Lutz Eigendorf and Norbert Trieloff.

BFC Dynamo began as a football department of SC Dynamo Berlin. SC Dynamo Berlin was founded as a sports club in East Berlin on 1 October 1954.[1][2][nb 1] As all clubs bearing the name Dynamo, it was part of SV Dynamo, the sports association for the security agencies. The president of SV Dynamo was Erich Mielke, at the time Deputy State Secretary of the State Security Service, commonly known as the Stasi. Mielke was a football enthusiast, who saw football as a way of aggrandizing East Germany and socialism.[5][6]

In order to establish a competitive side in Berlin the first team of SG Dynamo Dresden and its place in the DDR-Oberliga was transferred to the new sports club SC Dynamo Berlin. The team played its first match for SC Dynamo Berlin on 21 November 1954 against BSG Rotation Babelsberg in the 10th matchday of the 1954-55 DDR-Oberliga. Political factors and pressure from Mielke were probably the main reasons behind the relocation.[7][8][4][9][nb 2] The relocation was designed to provide the capital with a team that could rival Hertha BSC, Blau-Weiß 1890 Berlin and Tennis Borussia Berlin, which were still popular in East Berlin and drew football fans to West Berlin.[17][8][4][9]

Among the players delegated from SG Dynamo Dresden were Johannes Matzen, Herbert Schoen and Günter Schröter. The trio had only a few years earlier been delegated from SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam to SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden had been chosen as an ideologically acceptable replacement for the popular SG Friedrichstadt. SG Friedrichsstadt was dissolved by the authorities after the 1949-50 DDR-Oberliga and its place in the Oberliga was transferred to SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden.[18][13][19][nb 3] SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden soon became a dominant side in East German football and was reformed as SG Dynamo Dresden in 1953. Dresden had two sides in the 1953–54 DDR-Oberliga. Berlin had no representation in the highest competition, which did not please Mielke.[13] Berlin was the capital of the republic and he thought it needed a strong football team to represent it.[6]

SC Dynamo Berlin finished its first season in the DDR-Oberliga in seventh place. Matzen and Karl-Heinz Holze became the best goalscorers for SC Dynamo Berlin in the league. SC Dynamo Berlin was then successful in the transitional 1955 DDR-Oberliga, but suffered relegation to the DDR-Liga after the 1956 DDR-Oberliga. SC Dynamo Berlin immediately secured promotion back to the DDR-Oberliga, but would have difficulty establishing itself in football in Berlin.[7] The team rarely drew crowds larger than 5,000 spectators at the Walter-Ulbricht-Stadion.[7] The team would finally secure its major trophy in the 1959 season. SC Dynamo Berlin reached the final of the 1959 FDGB-Pokal. The team defeated SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt in the two-legged final and won the cup.[22] The first match ended 0–0, but the replay was won 3–2, with two goals scored by Christian Hofmann and one penalty goal scored by Günter Schröter. However, the team was not allowed to participate in the 1960–61 European Cup Winners' Cup. The German Football Association of the GDR (German: Deutscher Fußball-Verband der DDR) (DFV) instead found local rival and league runners-up ASK Vorwärts Berlin to be a more suitable representative of East Germany in the competition.[23] The team instead went on a friendly tour to China and North Korea in July 1960.[24]

Günter Schröter was a key player of SC Dynamo Berlin during the 1950s. He was the second best goal scorer in the league in the 1955 and the 1959 DDR-Oberliga. Schröter scored all five goals for SC Dynamo Berlin in the 5–0 victory over SC Lokomotiv Leipzig in the ninth matchday of the 1959 DDR-Oberliga on 10 May 1959.[25] Schröter and Herbert Maschke would still be central players in the team in the early 1960s. But the players of the former SG Dynamo Dresden team had aged by the late 1950s.[26] The team would now instead be shaped by players such Martin Skaba, Werner Heine and Waldemar Mühlbächer. The three were recruited in 1955–1956 and belonged to a new generation of players who did not come from SG Dynamo Dresden. Other central players who had joined the team in the late 1950s were Hermann Bley and Konrad Dorner. The team was then joined by Romanian-born forward Emil Poklitar from BSG Rotation Babelsberg an forward Wilfried Klingbiel from BSG Lokomotive Stendal for the 1960 season.[27] Poklitar immadiately proved to be a very promising goal scorer during the 1960 DDR-Oberliga, scoring 14 goals in 19 league matches.[28][29]

SC Dynamo Berlin had some success in the first seasons of the 1960s. The team finished the 1960 DDR-Oberliga as runner-up. As many as six players from SC Dynamo Berlin were included in the starting line-up of the East Germany national football team in the match against Denmark in front of 45,000 spectators at Idrætsparken on 28 May 1961: Werner Heine, Martin Skaba, Waldemar Mühlbächer, Herbert Maschke and Günther Schröter.[30] SC Dynamo Berlin was a top team also in the also in the 1961-62 DDR-Oberliga.[31] The team stood at second place in the league by the summer-break. SC Dynamo Berlin was then allowed to participate the 1961–62 International Football Cup. The team defeated Wiener SC 3–5 on 18 June 1961, in its first competitive international match.[32] However, the team's top goalscorer Emil Poklitar and teammate Rolf Starost defected to West Berlin after a friendly match against Boldklubben af 1893 at Idrætsparken in Copenhagen on 13 August 1961.[29][33] SC Dynamo Berlin nevertheless remained a top-team in the league and was again on its way to success in the FDGB-Pokal. The team reached the final of the 1961-62 FDGB-Pokal after defeating SC Empor Rostock by a whopping 5–1 in the semi-finals. SC Dynamo Berlin was eventually defeated 3-1 by SC Chemie Halle in the final.[34] The team finished the 1961-62 DDR-Oberliga in third place.

However, SC Dynamo Berlin found itself overshadowed in the capital by the army sponsored ASK Vorwärts Berlin. ASK Vorwärts Berlin had captured the league title in the 1958 and 1960 DDR-Oberliga and would go on to capture several more titles in the coming years.[12][35][36] SC Dynamo Berlin had moved its home matches to the Dynamo-Sportforum after the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961.[7] The average attendance dropped to 3,000 at the Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum in the 1962–63 season.[7] The team of SC Dynamo Berlin in the 1960s would eventually prove relatively weak.[36] SC Dynamo Berlin had become a lower table side by the end of the 1962–63 Oberliga. After further seasons of poor results, a second relegation to the DDR-Liga would later occur.[26]

A bitter dispute erupted between Dynamo Berlin and SG Dynamo Schwerin in 1965, over the delegation of three players from SG Dynamo Schwerin to SC Dynamo Berlin. The disparity between sports club SC Dynamo Berlin and sports community SG Dynamo Schwerin was significant. The wage bill of officials and players was 315,559 Marks at SC Dynamo Berlin in the 1964–65 season, compared to 19,428 Marks at SG Dynamo Schwerin in the same season. Local SED politicians and local SV Dynamo functionaries in Bezirk Schwerin aspired to transform Schwerin into a major footballing centre. When SC Dynamo Berlin tried to exercise its right as a sports club to draw talented players from SG Dynamo Schwerin, they put up stern resistance. Mielke and SV Dynamo officials were conscious of the mass appeal of football and the role of SC Dynamo Berlin in the reputation of the Stasi.[36] The delegation was eventually cancelled, but the dispute caused antipathy between the two Dynamo clubs.[37][38][39]

East German football was reorganised in 1965–1966 when the football departments were made independent from their sports clubs. Ten football departments were reorganized into ten designated football clubs. The ten football clubs formed the elite of East German football. They were meant to provide stability to the game at the top level and to supply the national team with talent. Promising players would be ordered to play for them. As part of this reorganization, the football department of SC Dynamo Berlin was separated from the sports club in 1966 and reorganized as football club BFC Dynamo.[40][41][4][42][9] The football department of sports community SG Dynamo Hohenschönhausen was also disbanded after the 1965–66 season. The players of SG Dynamo Hohenschönhausen joined the reserve team of BFC Dynamo, the BFC Dynamo II, and the place of SG Dynamo Hohenschönhausen in 1966–67 Bezirksliga Berlin was taken over by BFC Dynamo II.

Founding and first seasons (1966–1971)

Founding (1966)

BFC Dynamo was founded on 15 January 1966 as one of the new designated football clubs in East Germany.[43] The new club was presented by the president of SV Dynamo Erich Mielke at a ceremony in front of 1,400 guests in the Dynamo-Sporthalle in Hohenschönhausen in East Berlin.[7][44] At exactly 19:40, the founding of BFC Dynamo was announced.[45] The last part of the club's founding motto was: "Berliner Fußballclub Dynamo - Our goal: Top achievements - worthy representation of the capital of the GDR ".[46] The first presidium consisted of the Head of the Volkspolizei in East Berlin Horst Ende, the Intendant of the Metropol theatre Hans Pitra, former DDR-Oberliga player Johannes Matzen and the Editor-in-chief of the East German football weekly Die Neue Fußballwoche (FuWo) (de) Klaus Schlegel.[45] Manfred Kirste was elected club president and Mielke was elected honorary president.[44][43] Kirste came from Berlin and was a certified sports teacher.[47]

The new football clubs were formed as centers of excellence in East German football and had the right to draw on talents within designated geographical and administrative areas.[4][48] All football clubs were assigned one or two regional districts as catchment areas at the time of their founding.[49] BFC Dynamo was assigned Bezirk Cottbus and a third of the districts of East Berlin as a catchment area.[49] The club immediately planned to increase the number of youth teams from 14 to 26 at its founding.[50]

However, the backing of a sponsor would also be crucial to the development of a club.[11] BFC Dynamo was officially a club of the Ministry of the Interior.[51][52][53] The club's official sponsor (German: Träger) was the Volkspolizei.[54][55] However, the club's honorary chairman Erich Mielke was the head of the Stasi and 96 percent of the sponsoring members of the club would eventuallly be members of the Stasi.[55][56] BFC Dynamo would come to receive personal, organizational and financial support from the Stasi.[56] Research by the Stasi Records Agency has showed that 31 employees of the Ministry of the Interior and ten employees of the Stasi would eventually be involved in the club.[57]

BFC Dynamo was formed from the football department of SC Dynamo Berlin. The former team of SC Dynamo Berlin thus continued as BFC Dynamo. BFC Dynamo played two friendly matches against Hungarian top teams Budapesti Dózsa SE and Ferencváros in Budapest during the winter break. The team lost the first match 3–1 against Budapesti Dózsa SE on 23 January 1966, but won the second match 2–3 against Ferencváros on 30 January 1966. [58] BFC Dynamo played its first competitive match as BFC Dynamo against BSG Motor Zwickau in the 12th matchday of the 1965-66 DDR-Oberliga at the Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum on 12 February 1966. BFC Dynamo won the match 2–0. Midfielders Waldemar Mühlbächer and Erhard Kochale scored one goal each in the match.[59] BFC Dynamo then defeated SG Dynamo Dresden 3–5 in extra time away in the round of 16 of the 1965-66 FDGB-Pokal at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion on 16 February 1966.

The team went on to defeat 1. FC Magdeburg 0–2 away on the 15th matchday on 19 February 1966. Joachim Hall and Michael Jakob scored one goal each in the match.[60] BFC Dynamo then played local rival FC Vorwärts Berlin on the 16th matchday on 26 February 1966 The team lost the derby 0–1 in front of 12,000 spectators at Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum. The winning goal for FC Vorwärts Berlin was scored by Jürgen Piepenburg.[61] BFC Dynamo was eventually eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 1965-66 FDGB-Pokal after losing 2–1 away to BSG Lokomotive Stendahl on 2 March 1966. The team lost 4–0 away to 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig in the 19th matchday on 19 March 1966. BFC Dynamo eventually finished 1965-66 DDR-Oberliga in ninth place after a generally weak season. Werner Heine left for 1. FC Union Berlin after the season.[62] Heine had joned SC Dynamo Berlin in 1956 and had played 12 seasons for the team.[63]

Relegation (1966–1967)

Hungarian Bela Volenik was the new coach for the 1966–67 season.[62] BFC Dynamo recruited goalkeeper Werner Lihsa from SG Dynamo Mansfeld-Kombinat Eisleben for the season.[62] Lihsa became reserve goalkeeper behind Jürgen Bräunlich. Peter Lyszcan was now also a regular player in the team. BFC Dynamo lost 0–3 at home to 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig in the opening match of the 1966-67 DDR-Oberliga on 6 August 1966. The team got off to a weak start of the league season. The team captured its first win in the league away against FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the 6th matchday on 24 September 1966. The team met 1. FC Union Berlin at home in the 9th matchday on 5 November 1966. The match drew 10,000 spectators at the Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum. Joachim Ernst scored 0-1 for 1. FC Union Berlin in the 23 minute. Gütner Aedtner equalized in the 68th minute. 1. FC Union Berlin eventually won the match 1-2 after a goal by Günter Hoge in the 76th minute.[64] BFC Dynamo was second to last in the league after the first half of the league season. The team was then eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 1966-67 FDGB-Pokal, losing 1–2 at home to HFC Chemie on 5 December 1966.

The results in the league saw a slight improvement during second half of the 1966–67 season. The team suffered fewer losses, but the number of matches won was still low. BFC Dynamo had one loss and four draws in the first five matches after the winter break. The team participated in a friendly tournament together with FC Vorwärts Berlin and the Swedish teams AIK and IF Elfsborg during Easter.[65] BFC Dynamo defeated IF Elfsborg 2–1 on 24 March 1967, and then played a 1–1 draw against AIK on 26 March 1967.[66] BFC Dynamo met local rival 1. FC Union Berlin away in the 22nd matchday on 26 April 1967. The team stood at 13th place in the league before the match, two points behind 11th-placed BSG Wismut Aue and 10th-placed BSG Chemie Leipzig.[67] BFC Dynamo still had a chance to retain its place the league. Supporters of 1. FC Union Berlin greeted BFC Dynamo with a banner saying "We greet the relegated".[68] 1. FC Union Berlin won the match 3-0 and the hopes of avoiding relegation were now minimal.[68] The match is seen as the starting point for the feud between the two clubs.[68] 19-year-old forward Peter Lyszcan made his debut for BFC Dynamo in DDR-Oberliga away against HFC Chemie in the 25th matchday on 10 May 1967. The team won the match 1–2, after two goals by Joachim Hall. BFC Dynamo was still in 13th place in the league, two points behind 12th-placed BSG Chemie Leipzig. But the chance to retain the place in the league was only theoretical.[69] The team lost 0–1 at home to SG Dynamo Dresden in the final matchday on 13 May 1967.[70] BFC Dynamo finished the 1966-67 DDR-Oberliga in 13th place and was eventually relegated to the DDR-Liga. Waldemar Mühlbächer retired from his player career after the season.[71] Mülbächer had joned SC Dynamo Berlin as early as 1956 and had played 11 seasons for the team.[63]

Rejuvenation (1967–1971)

Karl Schäffner returned as coach for the 1967–68 season.[71] BFC Dynamo started the 1967-68 DDR-Liga Nord with mixed results. The team had five wins, three losses and two draws after the first ten matchdays. However, BFC Dynamo would eventually come to dominate the league. BFC Dynamo captured the first place in the league in the 13th matchday, after a 1–1 draw away against BSG Chemie Premnitz.[72] The team then defeated SG Dynamo Schwerin 4–0 in the 14th matchday in front of 3,000 spectators at the Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum on 19 November 1967. Lyszczan scored two goals in the match. BFC Dynamo would remain in first place for the rest of the league season. BFC Dynamo faced local team SG Lichtenberg 47 away in the 6th matchday on 2 December 1967. The match had previously been postponed. It was now the last match before the winter break. BFC Dynamo lost 1–0 in front of 6,500 spectators at the Hans-Zoschke-Stadion.[72] However, BFC Dynamo still had one point down to scond-placed BSG Energie Cottbus and finished the first half of the season as Herbstmeister.[73]

BFC Dynamo would go through the second half of the league season undefeated.[72] The team met SG Lichtenberg 47 in at home in the 21st matchday. BFC Dynamo won match 1–0 in front of 6,000 spectators at the Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum. The winning goal was scored by Wilfried Trümpler.[72] The team was set to play the return match against SG Dynamo Schwerin in the 29th matchday. The match was played at the Sportplatz Paulshöhe in Schwerin on 26 May 1967.[72] BFC Dynamo had already secured promotion at this point. The team had eight points down to third-placed BSG Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt and 10 points down to fourth-placed SG Dynamo Schwerin.[74] The match ended with serious riots among the fans of SG Dynamo Schwerin. Emotions between the two clubs had been tense since the dispute over player delegations in 1965. But the decisive factor behind the riots was perceived manipulation of the match by referee Erwin Vetter. BFC Dynamo won the match narrowly by 1–2, after a winning goal by Detlef Weber in the 83rd minute. A Stasi investigation revealed that a sense of injustice was also shared by members of the Stasi in Bezirk Schwerin and that some members of the Stasi who had attended the match either left the ground or followed the events passively.[36][39][37] BFC Dynamo finished 1967-68 DDR-Liga Nord in first place and immediately returned to DDR-Oberliga. Lyszczan became shared top goalscorer in the 1967-68 DDR-Liga Nord with 19 goals.[75] Martin Skaba and Hermann Bley all retired after the season. Konrad Dorner was transferred to the reserve team and Günter Wolff left for FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt after the season. Veterans Skaba, Bley and Dorner had all joined SC Dynamo Berlin between 1956 and 1958. Skaba had played in a total of 343 matches for the team.[63] Wolff was a native of Erfurt and had joined SC Dynamo Berlin as a youth player from BSG Motor Weimar. The departure of Wolff was a loss to the team. The 25-year-old midfielder had played 130 matches for BFC Dynamo and was considered a great talent.[76]

BFC Dynamo aimed to create the basis for something that would last, through long-term planning. This included the formation of a high-performance youth department.[77][78] BFC Dynamo had won the majority of the youth competitions in East Berlin since the club's founding. The club's youth teams had been particularly successful during the 1966–67 and 1967–68 seasons.[78] A continuous process of rejuvenation began after the relegation from the DDR-Oberliga at the end of the 1966–67 season.[79] The club used the 1967-68 DDR-Liga Nord as an opportunity to integrate a number of young players in the first team. Forwards Harald Schütze and Norbert Johannsen and midfielder Werner Voigt were some of the young players who got to make a number of appearances with the first team during the 1967–68 season.[80]

BFC Dynamo fielded a young team in 1968–69 season. The team had an average age of 23 years at the start of the season.[77] Harald Schütze was now regular player in the first team.[79] BFC Dynamo defeated 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig 1–0 in the first home match of the 1968-69 DDR-Oberliga in front of 6,000 spectators at the Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum on 24 August 1968. The winning goal was scored by Harald Schütze.[81] However, this was followed by a 4–1 loss away to 1. FC Magdeburg in the third matchday and a 1–3 loss at home to F.C. Hansa Rostock in the fourth matchday. The young team had a difficult start to the 1968-69 DDR-Oberliga.[79][82] BFC Dynamo lost 2–0 away to HFC Chemie in the seventh matchday on 28 September 1968. The team was now in 12th place in the league.[82] BFC Dynamo came back with a 3–1 win at home against BSG Stahl Riesa in the following matchday. However, the team was then defeated 4–0 away by then defending champion FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the 9th matchday on 12 October 1968. A few changes was now made to the line-up. A slight turn came in the following matchdays. BFC Dynamo defeated FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt 1–0 in the 10th matchday, drew 1–1 away against rival 1. FC Union Berlin in the 11th matchday and defeated FC Karl-Marx-Stadt 1–0 at home in the 12th matchday.[79] BFC Dynamo finished the first half of the season in the 11th place.

Hans Geitel became the new coach during the winter break.[79] Geitel already had experience from the DDR-Oberliga as former coach of SC Turbine Erfurt. He had previously worked for the youth academy of BFC Dynamo for a number of years.[76] Geitel had been a successful coach of the BFC Dynamo junior team. He had led the BFC Dynamo junior team to a victory in the 1966-67 East German Junior Cup (Junge Welt-Pokal) (de), a second place in the 1967-68 East German Junior Cup and then a second place in the 1967-68 East German Junior Championship (de).[83][84][85] Geitel would eventually introduce a new tactic that included effective counterplay.[86] BFC Dynamo went on a friendly tour to Africa in January 1969. The team played friendly matches against local teams from Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam for the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the unification of Tanzania.[87] The positive trend in the league continued in the second half of the 1968-69 DDR-Oberliga.[82] BFC Dynamo defeated BSG Sachsenring Zwickau 1–2 away in the 19th matchday and HFC Chemie 1–0 at home in the 20th matchday. The team was now in eighth place in the league. Then came a difficult setback with a 4–0 loss away to BSG Stahl Riesa in the following matchday. However, BFC Dynamo then managed to defeat third-placed FC Carl Zeiss Jena 2–1 at home in the 22nd matchday on 19 April 1969. Peter Lyszcan and Günter Aedtner scored one goal each in the match. BFC Dynamo reached the semi-finals of the 1968-69 FDGB-Pokal. The team lost the semi-final 1–2 at home to 1. FC Magdeburg on 7 May 1969. BFC Dynamo eventually finished the 1968-69 DDR-Oberliga in 10th place and was able to successfully retain its place in the league. Forward Rainer Gesereich, Erhard Kochale, Michael Jakob and Werner Voigt were transferred to FSG Dynamo Frankfurt after the season.[88]

BFC Dynamo recruited young forward Ralf Schulenberg from FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt for the 1969–70 season.[88] The recruitment of Schulenberg was probably a compensation for the loss of Günter Wolff to FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt after the 1967–68 season.[76] BFC Dynamo defeated SG Dynamo Dresden 3–1 in the fourth matchday of the 1969–70 DDR-Oberliga in front of 8,000 spectators at Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum on 6 September 1969. Team lost 5–2 away against FC Vorwärts Berlin in the fifth matchday and then 1–4 at home against HFC Chemie in the sixth matchday. BFC Dynamo continued to integrate youth players into the first team. Young midfielder Peter Rohde from the youth department made his debut for BFC Dynamo in the DDR-Oberliga against FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the seventh matchday on 20 September 1969. Rohde would henceforth be a regular player in the team.[89] Also the match against FC Carl Zeiss Jena ended in a loss. The disappointing trend was finally broken with a 3–0 win at home against 1. FC Magdeburg in the eighth matchday on 24 September 1969. BFC Dynamo was in seventh place in the league after the first half of the season. The young midfielder Frank Terletzki from the youth department was given the opportunity to make his debut for BFC Dynamo in the DDR-Oberliga away against FC Karl-Marx-Stadt in the 15th matchday on 21 March 1970.[90][nb 4] Terletzki would make several further appearances in the DDR-Oberliga during the spring. BFC Dynamo won the return match against FC Vorwärts Berlin 1–0 in the 18th matchday in front of 5,000 spectators at the Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum on 11 April 1970. Rohde scored the winning goal for BFC Dynamo. It was the first victory over local rival FC Vorwärts Berlin since the 1965-66 DDR-Oberliga.[93] The team then played a 0–0 draw at home against F.C. Hansa Rostock in the 22nd matchday on 2 May 1970. 19-year-old defender Bernd Brillat from the youth department made his debut for BFC Dynamo in the DDR-Oberliga in the match against F.C. Hansa Rostock, as a substitute for Norbert Johannsen. BFC Dynamo finished the 1969-70 DDR-Oberliga in sixth place.

Werner Lihsa was the new first-choice goalkeeper for the 1970–71 season. Norbert Johannsen would also make recurring appearances with the first team during the season. BFC Dynamo started 1970-71 DDR-Oberliga with three consecutive wins. The team then met SG Dynamo Dresden in the fifth matchday on 19 September 1970. SG Dynamo Dresden had now managed to re-established itself as a top team in the DDR-Oberliga. SG Dynamo Dresden, followed by 1. FC Magdeburg, would come to dominate East German football in the 1970s. BFC Dynamo lost the match 0–1 in front of 11,000 spectators at Dynamo-Stadion im Sportforum. Young forward Dietmar Labes from the youth department made his first appearance with the first team in the match against SG Dynamo Dresden, as a substitute for Günter Aedtner. The team then met defending champion FC Carl Zeiss Jena away in the following matchday on 26 September 1970. BFC Dynamo lost the match 5–1, after a hat trick by Peter Ducke.[94] The team came back with a 2–1 win over second-placed 1. FC Magdeburg inte the following match day.[95][96] Manfred Becker scored both goals for BFC Dynamo in the match.[96] BFC Dynamo was in seventh place in the league after the first half of the season.

The young defender Bernd Brillat would be used as a regular player during the second half of the season. BFC Dynamo met second-placed FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the 19th matchday on 17 April 1970.

This time, the team would also be allowed to participate, unlike in 1959. BFC Dynamo was thus finally ready for its first participation in an UEFA competition.[100]

Rise (1971–1978)

Focus club in East Berlin and talent factory (1971)

A number of football clubs in East Germany became specially promoted focus clubs (German: Schwerpunktclubs) in the 1970 DFV Football Resolution (German: DFV-Fußballbeschluss).[101][102] The focus clubs were meant to be strengthened through player transfers. Players in teams that had been relegated from the DDR-Oberliga should also switch to focus clubs.[103] The focus clubs would receive additional financial support from the German Gymnastics and Sports Federation (DTSB) and other advantages.[104][105] They would be equipped with more staff as well as better material and technical conditions.[106] FC Vorwärts Berlin and BFC Dynamo became focus clubs in East Berlin.[104][107] Additional advantages would then be given to focus club in the 1976 DFV Football Resolution. The focus clubs would then be allowed to delegate youth players from other football clubs. They would also be provided with more youth coaches from the DFV and have the right to delegate twice as many students to their affiliated Children and Youth Sports Schools (KJS) every year, compared to other football clubs.[108][109]

The football landscape in East Berlin then changed dramatically before of the 1971–72 season. The Ministry of Defence decided to relocate FC Vorwärts Berlin to Frankfurt an der Oder on 31 July 1971.[110][111][112] The exact reasons for the decision have not been fully clarified.[113] The relocation was probably the result of political intrigues by the Stasi and the SED.[114] The German author Hans Joachim Teichler writes that all speculation ends up with Erich Mielke. Teichler believes that Mielke must have somehow have convinced the Minister of Defence Heinz Hoffmann that two clubs of the armed organs (German: Bewaffnete Organe der DDR) in East Berlin were one too many.[115] Mielke regarded FC Vorwärts Berlin as a competitor to the BFC Dynamo in the capital, while his colleague in the Politburo and the SED First Secretary in the Bezirk Frankfurt Erich Mückenberger expected a boost for the Frankfurt an der Oder area.[3]

BFC Dynamo and 1. FC Union Berlin were now the only major football clubs in East Berlin.[116] The districts of East Berlin had been divided between BFC Dynamo, FC Vorwärts Berlin and 1. FC Union Berlin when the football clubs were founded. Each club could recruit young talented players from training centers (German: Trainingszentrum) (TZ) in its own districts.[117][116] The districts were redistributed when FC Vorwärts Berlin was relocated to Frankfurt an der Oder. BFC Dynamo was allowed to take over all districts in East Berlin that had previously belonged to FC Vorwärts Berlin.[117][116] DTSB officials allegedly saw more potential in BFC Dynamo than in 1. FC Union Berlin.[116] BFC Dynamo now had access to two thirds of all training centers (TZ) in East Berlin.[49][117] 1. FC Union Berlin also had to hand over its catchment area in Bezirk Potsdam to FC Vorwärts Frankfurt, as compensation for the districts that FC Vorwärts Frankfurt had lost in East Berlin.[49][118][116] The relocation of FC Vorwärts Berlin also meant that BFC Dynamo would get the opportunity to play more home matches at the larger and more centrally located Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark in Prenzlauer Berg, which led to increased interest in the club and growing attendance numbers.[119]

"Football success will highlight even more clearly the superiority of our socialist order in the area of sport."

Erich Mielke[5]

BFC Dynamo would eventually be developed into a flagship team of sports association SV Dynamo. The team stood out among other teams within SV Dynamo. BFC Dynamo was located at the frontline of the Cold War. It was also a representative of the East German capital. This meant that the club had to be well equipped.[120] The most influential so-called sponsor association behind SV Dynamo was the Stasi.[120] Supported by Erich Mielke, BFC Dynamo would get the best training facilities, equipment, coaching staff and talent.[5][4] The team was destined to compete on European level, boosting East German self-confidence and international prestige, and the players were meant to become socialist heroes.[121][122][123][124]

BFC Dynamo would eventually get access to a nationwide scouting network, which included numerous training centers (TZ) of SV Dynamo across East Germany.[125][126][127] The club would get access to a total of 38 training centers (TZ) across East Germany.[128] By comparison, 1. FC Union Berlin only had access to 6 training centers (TZ), all of which were located in the Berlin area.[128] BFC Dynamo would be able recruit young talented players from the youth departments of all sports communities (German: Sportgemeinschaft) (SG) of SV Dynamo in East Germany, except those in the Bezirk Dresden and a number sports communities in the southern regional districts that belonged to the catchment area of SG Dynamo Dresden.[107][nb 5] The youth department at BFC Dynamo would eventually be developed into a talent factory under the leadership of Egon Rohde.[132] Egon Rohde had joined the youth department of BFC Dynamo as a youth trainer from SG Dynamo Rostock-Mitte in 1969 and became the head of the extensive youth department of BFC Dynamo.[133][134] Egon Rohde was also the father of four players in various teams of BFC Dynamo: Peter Rohde, Jürgen Rohde, Rainer Rohde and Frank Rohde.[89][133]

Explanatory notes
  1. The founding of SC Dynamo Berlin was part of a general reorganisation of sport in East Germany in the middle of the 1950s, when 21 sports clubs (German: Sportclub) (SC) were set up under different sports associations (German: Sportvereinigung) (SV), such as SV Dynamo and SV Lokomotive, entirely separate from the older enterprise sports community (German: Betriebssportgemeinschaft) (BSG) system. The sports clubs were envisioned as centres of excellence (German: Leistungszentren) for the promotion of elite sport. Membership in any of these designated sports clubs was only possible through delegation by the appropriate sports association.[3][4]
  2. This was not the first or last relocation or transfer of entire football teams in East Germany. Sports association SV Deutsche Volkpolizei relocated its three second-tier teams SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam, SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Weimar and SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Schwerin to sports communities in larger cities during the summer of 1952. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was relocated to Berlin, SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Weimar to Erfurt and SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Schwerin to Rostock.[10] The team of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Schwerin and its place in the DDR-Liga was thus transferred SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Rostock in 1952. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Rostock would later be known as SG Dynamo Rostock-Mitte (de). The team of SV Vorwärts der KVP Leipzig was relocated to East Berlin in 1953. The team continued the 1953-54 DDR-Oberliga as SV Vorwärts der KVP Berlin. SV Vorwärts der KVP Berlin was later known as ASK Vorwärts Berlin. The football department of ASK Vorwärts Berlin later became FC Vorwärts Berlin.[11][4][12] The relatively successful team of BSG Empor Lauter and its place in the DDR-Oberliga was transferred to sports club SC Empor Rostock in 1954. The football department of SC Empor Rostock later became FC Hansa Rostock.[13] Then SED First Secretary in Bezirk Rostock Karl Mewis and SED funcionary Harry Tisch were instrumental in the relocation of BSG Empor Lauter to Rostock.[14][13] The team of BSG Turbine Halle and its place in the DDR-Oberliga was transferred to sports club SC Chemie Halle-Leuna in 1954. BSG Turbine Halle was the champions of the 1951-52 DDR-Oberliga. The football department of SC Chemie Halle-Leuna later became HFC Chemie.[15] The football department of BSG Wismut Aue was transferred to sports club SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1954. However, due to protests in Aue, the team would eventually be able to continue playing at the Otto-Grotewohl-Stadion.[16] The football department was later transferred back to BSG Wismut Aue when SC Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt was dissolved in 1963. However, some players joined successor club SC Karl-Marx-Stadt instead. The football department of SC Karl-Marx-Stadt later became FC Karl-Marx-Stadt.
  3. SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden had existed since October 1948.[19] When SG Friedrichstadt was dissolved after the 1949–50 DDR-Oberliga, the playing right in the DDR-Oberliga was transferred to SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden.[19] SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden was thus able to enter the DDR-Oberliga without having to progress through divisions.[18] In order to put together a strong team for SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Dresden to the 1950-51 DDR-Oberliga, the 40 best players of the various Volkspolizei teams in East Germany were brought together for a training session in Forst in July 1950. Coaches Fritz Sack (de) and Paul Döring (de) picked out 17 players from 11 different cities who were delegated to Dresden to form the team.[20][21][19] SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam lost five players.[18] SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Potsdam was severely weakened by the delegations to Dresden.[7]
  4. Terletzki had made his first appearance with the first team of BFC Dynamo in the first match against FC Hansa Rostock in the round of 16 of the 1969-70 FDGB-Pokal on 29 November 1969.[91][92]
  5. German sports historian Hanns Leske writes that BFC Dynamo was able to recruit young players from the youth departments of all sports communities (SG) of SV Dynamo in East Germany, except those in Bezirk Dresden.[129] German author Anne Hahn writes that the training centers (TZ) of SV Dynamo across East Germany were divided between BFC Dynamo and SG Dynamo Dresden. She writes that the catchment area of BFC Dynamo included the SV Dynamo sports communities (SG) of Rostock-Mitte, Neustrelitz, Fürstenwalde, Schwerin and Berlin. The best talents were brought together in these sports communities (SG) and then selected in a central, multi-day screening course.[130] Also German sports journalist Horst Friedemann claims that the catchment area of BFC Dynamo included the SV Dynamo sports communities (SG) of Rostock-Mitte, Neustrelitz, Fürstenwalde and Schwerin. According to Friedemann, the SV Dynamo sports communities (SG) of Eisleben and Halle/Neustadt instead belonged to the catchment area of SG Dynamo Dresden. That was the "southern line", where Dresden had access.[131]
