History

The association was founded on 29 March 1885 as the gymnastics club "Allgemeine Turnverein Bergedorf". It merged with another gymnastics club, "Arbeiter Turnverein Phönix Sande", to form "Freien Turnerschaft Bergedorf-Sande" in 1911. A football department was formed within this club the following year. The re-naming of the city district of Sande in 1929 led to the association adopting the name "Freie Turnerschaft Bergedorf-Lohbrügge".

as "ASV Bergedorf 1885".

The club enjoyed some success immediately after the war advancing out of fourth tier city league play into the second division Verbandsliga Alster by 1948. The team continued to play at that level in the Amateurliga Hamburg (II) until earning promotion to the top flight Oberliga Nord in 1958. The team earned lower table results there until the 1963 formation of the Bundesliga, Germany's first professional football league, when "ASV" became part of the new Regionalliga Nord (II). The club continued to earn lower table finishes here until finally relegated to the Verbandsliga Hamburg (III) in 1969. their slide continued as the Verbandliga became a fourth tier circuit in 1974 and fifth tier in 1994 through league re-structuring.
