History

[edit]

At the Technical University of Magdeburg top-flight basketball was played in the 1980s. The greatest successes were in 1988 and 1989, the DDR Championship. After the German Reunification the team played as USC Magdeburg in the northern group of the 2. Basketball League in which one only achieved a victory of the season and immediately descended again. Known players of that time, as Erik Hebold and Achim Grossmann, now playing at the BBC Magdeburg with the Oldies.

The BBC Magdeburg was founded in 2002. Since then, the club played until 2013 with the first men's team in the 1.Regionalliga Nord (4th Basketball-League in Germany). In addition, the dedicated team of youth work and had the oldie-team the second team and other teams in the league use. During this time the club acted as BG Magdeburg.

The restructuring of the 2011/2012 season meant that they are primarily focused on the 1st men's team. The Oldie team also played for the 2012/2013 season continues in league play and with an A-Youth in cooperation with the USC (Sportclub of the University in Magdeburg) involved one employs the game mode.[1] In cooperation with Subway were formed a "Subway Basketball Academy", which is to ensure the long term for the offspring receipt in Magdeburg.

With the second placement in the 2012/2013 season, the highest since 2003, does not ascend from the 4th League could be achieved from a sporting perspective. However, the club continued for a promotion to the ProB and ProA.[2] This was due to the economically justified termination, the Düsseldorf Basketball Association Düsseldorf Baskets[3] and a successful wildcard method.[4]

Since the 2013/2014 season in the ProA is called the first men's team of BBC Magdeburg, as part of the propagated action since 2010 "Otto Magdeburg", "Otto Baskets". This is to the closeness of the association strengthened with the city and its visibility can be further increased. Sporty but the team could not convince 2013/2014 and climbed the last to the table in the ProB from. On June 24, 2014 were significant financial difficulty explored.[5] On the same day a relicensingprocedure was initiated as a result of this process the previously issued license ProB was initially withdrawn. As part of the relicensingprocedure was found that was violated license conditions and has the economic situation compared to the original license application changed significantly.[6] However, it has upheld the opposition of the BBC Magdeburg against the license revocation on July 30, so that the ProB license for the 2014/15 season reissued[7]
