SC Westend 1901 is a German association football club from the city of Berlin. The club's greatest success has been promotion to the tier one Oberliga Berlin in 1950 where it played for two seasons. After the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963 the club made one more appearance in the second tier, playing in the Regionalliga Berlin in 1973–74.
The club also made a single appearance in the DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, in 1974–75, losing to 5–1 to Eintracht Nordhorn in the first round.
While the club traces its origins back to 1901 the current club, SC Westend 1901, was formed in 1933 when Charlottenburger FC 01 Concordia merged with Charlottenburger FC Viktoria to form Charlottenburger FC 1901. In 1945, after the Second World War, Charlottenburger FC became SG Charlottenburg-Nord which temporarily adopted the name SG Westend Berlin from 1946 to 1948. A year after reverting to its former name the club finally became SC Westend 1901 in 1949.
After the frequent name changes in the post-war era, the club finished runners-up in the tier two Amateurliga Berlin in 1950 and thereby earned promotion to the Oberliga Berlin. It played at this level for two seasons, finishing tenth out of 14 clubs but came second-last the season after and was relegated back to the Amateurliga.
Westend became a lower table side in the Amateurliga and was relegated from this level, too, in 1956. The club's absence from the league was a lengthy one, returning 16 seasons later in 1972 by which time the league had dropped to third tier. The club finished runners-up in the league in 1972–73 and thereby earned promotion to the tier two Regionalliga Berlin. Westend finished in fifth place in 1973–74 but the league was disbanded at the end of the season in favor of the new 2. Bundesliga and the club consequently had to drop back to the third tier.
