Ice hockey

History

SG Dynamo Berlin had an ice hockey department until 1954. The ice hockey department originally began as an ice hockey department of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Berlin.^[13]

SV Deutsche Volkpolizei Berlin

The ice hockey department of SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Berlin was created in 1950 and made its debut in a friendly match against BSG Einheit Berliner Bär in the Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle on 9 June 1951.^[13][14] SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Berlin managed to win the Berlin championship the same year and qualified for the promotion round for the 1951-52 DDR-Oberliga. The qualification round was cancelled due to lack of participation from other teams, and SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Berlin was thus promoted to the DDR-Oberliga. However, its stay in the DDR-Oberliga was to be short and the team was relegated after only one season.

SG Dynamo Berlin

SV Deutsche Volkspolizei Berlin was reformed as SG Dynamo Berlin after the founding of SV Dynamo on 27 March 1953.^[13] The team immediately qualified for a new promotion round for the DDR-Oberliga after an unbeaten 1952–53 season. SG Dynamo Berlin won the promotion round and thus had the right to participate in the 1953–54 DDR-Oberliga. However, its participation in the 1953-54 DDR-Oberliga was prevents as sports authorities decided that the team was going to be merged with competitor BSG Chemie Weißwasser to form SG Dynamo Weißwasser. The best players of SG Dynamo Berlin, such as Hans Frenzel and Wolfgang Nickel, was thus delegated to SG Dynamo Weißwasser. The players that were not delegated to SG Dynamo Weißwasser continued to play under their old name, but had to start over in the Bezirksliga. The ice hockey department of sports community SG Dynamo Berlin then became the ice hockey department of sports club SC Dynamo Berlin in 1954.^[13][15]

Die Anfang 1953 in SV Dynamo umbenannte Mannschaft konnte in der Liga ihre Staffel gewinnen und sich damit den sofortigen Wiederaugstieg in die Oberliga erkämpfen. Doch dann entschied die Sportführung, dass Dynamo Berlin mit DDR-Meister Chemie Wei ßwasser zu Dynamo Weißwasser vereinigt wurden. Die nicht nach Weißwasser delegierten Spieler konnten zwar unter dem bisherigen Namen weiterspielen, mussten aber ganz unten in der Bezirksliga wieder anfangen. Der SC (1954 war der Sportclub als Leistungssportszentrum gebildet worden) Dynamo Berlin wurde auf Anhieb Bezirksmeister und stieg in die Liga auf. Dort setze die Mannschaft den Höhenflug fort und wurde sofort Staffelsieger. Damit hatte sich Dynamo wieder die Qualifikation für die Oberliga 1955/56 erkämpft.
