CLUB HISTORY: (wiki)
The RSV Waltersdorf 09 ( Rotberger Sports Club Waltersdorf 09 eV ) is a German football club based in the Schönefeld community in Brandenburg. Here calls Waltersdorf home and also has its historical roots in the village Rotberg.

The club was founded October 1905 and was based in Rotzis, renamed in 1937 to Rotberg. In 1909 the club formed a new men's gymnastics club 'Oak Rotzis 1909', and then in early 1910 a section of a football team. In later years, the football department became independent as 'Concord Rotberg'. This was disbanded after the war ended in 1945 because of the association with the Soviet occupying power. In this place, in 1946 a sporting community based in Rotberg dedicated itself to football training. In 1949 this group was renamed to BSG Traktor Nord Diepensee, because at that time, most independent sports communities had company sports teams (ESR) which were converted under the sponsorship of local businesses and institutions. In 1952 in addition to the BSG Rotberg Tractor Nord, there arose another football club with the name SG Rotberg . This was however closed again in 1956 and incorporated into the BSG Traktor Nord.
Other sports than football were played at the club such as handball, gymnastics and billiards. In 1961, in Rotberg, a new sports field was constructed. In 1970 there was the merger of several regional sports clubs in Diepensee, Rotberg, Kiekebusch and Waltersdorf (DRKW) and as such the BSG Traktor DRKW was formed, with headquarters in Rotberg. A few months later, on 20 June 1970 also the ASG Vorwarts Johannisthal was incorporated. Established as part of the merger was that training and meetings would be held in Waltersdorf, matches of the men in Rotberg, and the youth games to be played in Waltersdorf. With the end of the GDR the club was renamed from BSG Traktor DRKW to Rotberg SV 09 , which references the founding year of the MTV oak Rotzis club.

In 1992, the SV 09 Rotberg had two teams with 43 ​​members. The first team of football played in the first Circle class. Due to unclear ownership, the club had to give up their place at the sportsfields in Rotberg and found temporary accommodation in a not very busy facility in Schoenefeld. The efforts of the club head were directed towards finding a permanent new home ground. In 1994, the municipality Waltersdorf voted to build a new sports facility to which the SV should be located. In 1996, the new sports complex was opened with a club casino. 1997 brought the footballers of RSV Waltersdorf the runners up position in the Kreisliga. This was followed in 1998 by the rise in the Landeklasse. 2006 brought the biggest success so far the club's history came with the rise in the Landesliga. The first season of 2006/07 ended successfully with fifth place This was followed by a 4th and 3rd place. 2011 brought promotion as league champions to the Brandenburg League (VI). While the 2011/12 proved just as succesful with a runners up position gaining promotion to the Oberliga Nord (V)
