KWO Berlin was a German association football club from the city of Berlin. The club was active in the separate East German football competition that emerged in the Soviet-occupied eastern half of the country after World War II. It was established in 1949〔Grüne, Hardy (2001). Enzyklopädie des deutschen Ligafußballs 7. Vereinslexikon. Kassel: Agon-Sportverlag. ISBN 978-3-89784-147-5.〕 as the factory club, or Betriebssportgemeinschaft, for VEB Kabelwerk Oberspree, a major state-owned industrial firm specializing in the manufacture of electrical cable and wire. ==History== In 1951, the club was renamed ''BSG Motor Oberspree Berlin'' and on 1 September 1957 joined ''TSC Obenchöneweide'' to play briefly as ''TSC Obenchöneweide/Oberspree'' before disappearing within ''TSC'' in December of that year, and playing as ''TSC Obenchöneweide III'' until 1959. A separate ''KWO'' side was re-established in 1975 with the ambitious support and significant financial resources of the factory. By 1979, the team had risen out of lower level Kreisklasse competition into the Bezirksliga Berlin (III). They captured the city championship by a narrow margin over ''BSG EAB Lichtenberg 47'' and advanced to play in the DDR-Liga (II). In their second season there ''KWO'' finished behind ''1. FC Union Berlin'' before fading over the next two years and slipping back into Bezirksliga competition in 1983. Manager Dieter Fietz had a friendly relationship Soviet forces stationed in the area and was able to augment his club with experienced Russian players. While this helped ''KWO'' in capturing a string of Berlin-Pokal (East Berlin Cups) and FDGB-Pokal (East German Cup) district titles in the late 1980s, the team was unable to immediately win its way back to second division play. The club finally won promotion in 1988 just before German reunification in 1990 for two seasons. Between 1981–1990, ''KWO'' made frequent appearances in FDGB-Pokal (East German Cup) play where they typically were put out in the opening two rounds. Their furthest advance was in 1982 when they contested an eighthfinal match ''Dynamo Dresden'' which they lost 0:2. The club disappeared with German reunification in 1990, becoming part of ''1. FC Union Berlin''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KWO Berlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
