'''SC Charlottenburg''' (also known as '''SCC Berlin''') is a German sports club based in the [[Charlottenburg]] district of Berlin and founded in 1902 as ''Charlottenburger Sport-Club 1902''. In 1911, they merged with ''Sport-Club Westen 05'' and changed their club colors from yellow and blue to black and white.

The club is known for its [[Association football|football]] section who played in [[2. Bundesliga]] in [[1983–84 2. Bundesliga|1983–84]], its [[Sport of athletics|athletics]] section that organises among others the [[Berlin Marathon]], and its men's [[volleyball]] ([[Berlin Recycling Volleys]]) and [[American football]] ([[Berlin Rebels]]) teams, both of whom play in the top divisions of their sports.

== Football ==
Through the early 1920s the club went through other mergers and played [[Association football|football]] in the Oberliga Berlin-Brandenburg (I) as ''Union-SCC Charlottenburg''&nbsp;– through its association with ''FC Union Halensee'' (1898)&nbsp;– with their best result coming in 1922 when they finished as vice-champions after losing a two-game final to ''[[SV Norden-Nordwest|Norden-Nordwest Berlin]]'' (2–4, 0–1). The club changed its name to ''SC Charlottenburg'' in 1927 and was relegated that same year. ''SCC'' returned to the Oberliga for a single season in 1928–29.

Charlottenburg played lower-tier football throughout the 1930s and most of the 1940s. After World War II it was one of a number of sides that was part of a single association known as ''SG Charlottenburg'' representing the district. The combined side re-appeared in the top flight in the Oberliga Berlin in 1946, promptly capturing the division title.

SG Charlottenburg soon began to break up into its original separate clubs and in 1949 ''SC Charlottenburg'' re-emerged to play third-tier football. They were promoted to the Amateurliga Berlin in 1950 for a three-season turn before being relegated. In 1963, the same year that the [[Bundesliga]], Germany's new professional league, was formed, ''SCC'' made a single season appearance in the Amateurliga before slipping from sight into lower division play.

Charlottenburg enjoyed a brief resurgence in the early 1980s, rising quickly through the Landesliga Berlin (IV) and the Amateur Oberliga Berlin (III) to play the 1983–84 season in the [[2. Fußball-Bundesliga|2. Bundesliga]]. That campaign ended in the failure of an 18th-place finish and relegation. The team remained competitive, earning a second-place result in the Oberliga in 1985 and another title in 1986. ''SCC'' took part in the subsequent promotion round for 2. Bundesliga play, but finished behind [[FC St. Pauli]] and [[Rot-Weiss Essen]], before crashing disastrously to a last-place finish the following season. The club competed in the third and fourth division through the balance of the 1980s and well on into the 1990s before finally slipping to the fifth tier [[Berlin-Liga]] and [[Landesliga]] Berlin. A runners-up finish in the latter in 2015 took the club back up to the Berlin-Liga but it was relegated back to the Landesliga in 2016.

The team played as '''SCC Berlin''' until 2011 and as '''Berlin Recycling Volleys''' since then.
