SCC Berlin

What SCC Berlin does

SCC Berlin (Sport-Club Charlottenburg e.V.) is one of the five largest sports clubs in Berlin, Germany, founded in 1902 and operating as a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein). As of January 1, 2026, the club serves 9,554 members across 36 sports departments, ranging from American Football and Ice Hockey to Triathlon, with over 38% of members being children and youth. Its product portfolio includes structured sports programs across all disciplines, the SCC Feriencamp summer program for children, the "Das Schwarze C" club magazine, an online merchandise shop, and supplementary education and care (eFöB) youth welfare services operated free of charge at two Charlottenburg elementary schools.

The club's commercial engine is anchored by its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCC EVENTS GmbH, which organizes major international running, skating, and cycling events including the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON (the world's largest marathon with 54,280 finishers in 2024), the GENERALI BERLINER HALBMARATHON, the VITAMIN WELL Frauenlauf, and the ADIDAS RUNNERS CITY NIGHT. Revenue is generated through a combination of recurring annual membership fees (varying by department, with green/yellow card tiers for youth and adults), event organization and sponsorship, merchandise sales, and contracted youth welfare services.

SCC Berlin's distribution is community-led: members join via online application or in-person at the Geschäftsstelle at Mommsenstadion (Waldschulallee 34, Berlin), and growth is driven by word-of-mouth, marquee event participation, and youth programs. The club holds the Kinderschutzsiegel child protection certification from Landessportbund Berlin (first awarded in 2021) and operates with an elected Präsidium led by President Andreas Statzkowski, with Andreas Hilmer as Managing Director and Klaus Henk as Honorary President. In September 2025, the club opened a new Vereinsheim clubhouse to expand its event-hosting capacity, reinforcing its 120+ year institutional position in Berlin's amateur and competitive sports ecosystem.
