Wikipedia - FSV 63 Luckenwalde
FSV 63 Luckenwalde is a German football club based in Luckenwalde, Brandenburg, currently playing in the Regionalliga (IV).
History
The earliest forerunner of FSV 63 Luckenwalde was founded in 1906 as BV 06 Luckenwalde, which became SG Luckenwalde-Süd in 1945 and BSG Motor Luckenwalde in 1951. After the Berlin Wall was erected, the club was re-founded in 1963 as TSV Luckenwalde and after unification renamed itself FSV 63 Luckenwalde.
The club was twice runner-up in the Berliner Landespokal during the 1920s and was a founding member of the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg (I).
After a number of seasons in the Brandenburg-Liga the club won the league in 2009 and earned promotion to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord. After a season there it was moved to the southern division of the league but returned to the north in 2012 where it played as an upper table side. A third-place finish in the league in 2015 qualified the club for the promotion play-offs to the enlarged Regionalliga Nordost against SSV Markranstädt, which Luckenwalde won and moved up.
