CLUB HISTORY: (wiki)
Eintracht Mahlsdorf is a German association football club from the eastern city district of Mahlsdorf in Berlin. Eintracht was inititally established in 1896 as a gymnastics club by local youth, but not formally registered until the following year. Football was popular within the club from its earliest days and a football department was organized in 1912 with the team taking part in established local competition by 1916. World War I resulted in play being suspended in most parts of the country and not resumed until 1919. In 1923 many of Eintracht's footballers abandoned the lilac-and-white to play in the black-and-yellow of newly formed Adler Mahlsdorf. With the rise to power of the Nazis in the 30s, many clubs, including Eintracht and Adler, were disbanded and their memberships organized into sports associations sanctioned by the regime.

Following World War II the club played in the football competition that emerged in Russian occupied East Germany. Prior to the isolation of East Berlin from the rest of the city Mahlsdorf advanced past Hertha Zehlendorf and Spandauer SV to the quarter finals of the 1949  Berlin Cup where they were put out by Berliner SV.
Beginning in 1955 the side played as Medizin Lichtenberg as it was identified with the larger city district that included Mahlsdorf and, like other East German clubs, associated with a specific industry. The club was renamed Medizin Mahrzan in 1982 – once again for a larger city district – and then in 1987 was dubbed Medizin Berlin 1896.

After German re-unification the club reclaimed its traditional name and registered as an independent entity on 3 June 1999. Following the merger of the two football competitions in Germanys 1991, Mahlsdorf played in the fourth tier Verbandsliga Berlin but was immediately relegated to the Landesliga Berlin (V) before slipping still further into local league play. The team eventually returned to the Landesliga and after a second place result in 2002–03 made their way back to what was now the fifth tier Verbandsliga Berlin. Mahlsdorf currently plays in the Verbandliga (Berlin-Liga) after being relegated in 2005 and then re-promoted in 2006.
