History
Established on May 5, 1896, the club is notable as the first side in the city and as a founding member of the DFB (Deutsche Fußball Bund or German Football Association) at Leipzig in 1900. The team played in the Mitteldeutschen Ballspiel-Verbandes as an anonymous local side through most of its history with few exceptions. BC took part in the 1909-10 playoffs and were put out 6:0 by VfB Leipzig in a semi-final contest. Their next league playoff appearance was in 1915-16, when they were eliminated 7:0 by Eintracht Leipzig.
In the 1944–45 season, they were united with Germania Mittweida as the wartime side (Kriegspielgemeinschaft) KSG Mittweida. BC was lost after World War II, while Germania re-emerged as SG Mittweida and appeared in the first division Landesliga Sachsen in 1948–49 before slipping to lower level play.
