Stettin , Pomerania (todaySzczecin ,Poland ).__TOC__The club was formed in 1908 as "Athletik Sport-Club Stettin" and in 1911 adopted the name "Stettiner Sport-Club". [*Grüne, Hardy (2001). Vereinslexikon. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-89784-147-9]
"SSC" found itself embroiled in controversy at the end of a successful season in 1921 when it appeared they had won their first Baltenverband championship. "
VfB Königsberg " protested the result, and despite "Stettin" emerging victorious in a playoff arranged between the two sides, "VfB" was declared champion after filing an additional protest. The Stettiner side had in the meantime already played a scheduled national quarterfinal match and lost to "BFC Vorwärts 1890"; the decision to declare "Königsberg" champions came too late to allow them to take part in the national playoff. [*Grüne, Hardy (1996). Vom Kronprinzen bis zur Bundesliga. Kassel: AGON Sportverlag ISBN 3-928562-85-1]"SSC" came away as clear winners in 1926 and again took part in the national playoff round, this time bowing out to "
Holstein Kiel " (2:8) in a eighth-final contest. "Stettin" became part of the Pommern division in regional Berlin-Brandenburg play. They captured a series of division titles in the early 30s, but were then unable to turn those into regional championships and return to the national stage, repeatedly being eliminated in the end round of the regional Berlin-Brandenburg league.Following the 1933 re-organization of German football under the
Third Reich into sixteen top-flight divisions, "Stettin" joined the western group of theGauliga Pommern . They continued to have success within their group, but in three turns from 1934–36 were only able to get past rival "Viktoria Stolp " to capture the overall Gauliga Pommern championship once, in 1935. They earned a second title in a unified division in 1938 and thereafter slipped to become just a middling side. These division titles earned "SSC" a place in the Tschammerpokal tournament, predecessor to today'sDFB-Pokal (German Cup), where they were eliminated in the opening round in each of their appearances. AsWorld War II drew to a close, the team became part of a rump Gauliga Stettin and played only three games in a war-shorted 1944-45 season.Honours
