93/SSV Berlin. Postwar play Following the war, occupying Allied forces disbanded most organizations in the country, including sports and football clubs, as part of the process of denazification. Football clubs were soon reformed and the former membership was reorganized as SG Tiergarten which played in the postwar Stadtliga Berlin, Staffel C in 1945–47. As SG Tiergarten-Minerva the team was part of the Landesliga Berlin in 1947–48 where they finished atop Staffel A and moved on to the restored Oberliga Berlin (I) to play a single season that ended in relegation. Now playing again as SC Minerva 93 Berlin, they won another second division title in the Amateurliga Berlin and returned to the Oberliga for another 8 seasons. Their best results were second-place finishes in 1954 and 1956. At the end of the 1950s, Minerva slipped out of top-flight competition into the Amateurliga Berlin (II) where they remained until disappearing into lower tier city competition in the mid-1960s. Today the team plays in Berlin's Kreisliga B (X). The club fielded successful youth sides through the 1980s and in 1987 were awarded the Sepp Herberger Prize by the DFB (Deutscher Fußball-Bund; German Football Association) in recognition for their youth work. However, by 2000, Minerva did not have a single youth side remaining. They have since renewed their commitment to youth and again have an active youth department. References Grüne, Hardy (2001).
