. The club was formed in 1965 through the merger of "Bonner FV" and "Tura Bonn".

History

"Bonner FV" was founded in 1901 and was known early on as the "Club of Academics" because many of its leaders and members were teachers and professors. The side achieved good results as a tier II team prior to World War II. In 1959, "FV" won the Verbandsliga Mittelrhein (III) championship and moved up to "2.Liga West" (Division Two West).

"Tura" was formed in 1925 through a merger of the clubs "FC Normannia" and "FC Borussia" and drew its membership from the working class. The combined side's lineage also included the club "FC Regina Bonn" founded in 1904. Like "Bonner FV", "Tura" played as a tier II team and their greatest success was in winning the 1962 west German amateur championship and their subsequent appearance in the national amateur final, which they lost 0:1 to "SC Tegel".

Since its founding in 1965, "Bonner SC" has played as a tier III or IV side except for a handful of seasons spent in various level II leagues between 1966-67 and 1976-77. In 2000-01, they fell as low as Verbandsliga Mittelrhein (V), but are currently playing in Oberliga Nordrhein-Westfalen (V).
