'''Berliner FC Preussen 1894 e. V.''' (shortened to '''BFC Preussen''') is a sports club in [[Berlin]], [[Germany]]. It was founded in 1894. The club formerly had an ice hockey section, but it merged with [[Berliner Schlittschuhclub]] to form [[BSC Preussen]] in 1983.

Alongside [[Berliner Schlittschuhclub]] and the [[SC Charlottenburg]], BFC Preussen was one of the pioneering clubs in the German ice hockey at the dawn of the 20th century. They won the [[Berlin Championship]] in 1910 and 1911. In 1928 and 1940 the team took part in the [[List of German champions|German Championship]]. The 1940 squad was combined with [[Zehlendorfer Wespen]], forming '''KSG Preussen/Wespen'''.

After [[World War II]], the club was reactivated in 1954 and played exclusively in the lower-level leagues, namely the [[Oberliga]] and the [[Regionalliga]].

The hockey club was dissolved in 1971. It remained dormant until 1975, when the merger of [[FASS Berlin]] and [[EHC Nord Berlin]] led to the re-establishment of BFC's hockey section. It began playing in the Oberliga North in 1975-76. After declining to participate in the qualification round in 1977-78, Preussen was relegated directly to the Regionalliga. After only one season in the league, they were promoted back to the Oberliga, where they played until 1983.

In the 1982-83 season, Preussen achieved promotion to the [[2nd Bundesliga]]. After that, a merger with Berliner SC took place to create BSC Preussen, which started the 1983-84 season in the 2nd BL.
