Since it was decided that there should be a first league football team in the former capital Berlin, Tasmania 1900 Berlin was promoted to the first league; only to become the worst team in Bundesliga history and be relegated after one season.

 German Football Teams - Review - Hamburg SV (HSV)
I have followed the fortunes of HSV for as long as I can remember (they are the closest league club to where my mum comes from), and they have always been good to watch and like most German teams like to play attacking football with a shoot on sight policy.
They are one of the biggest clubs in German football, and although they have had a lean time lately (their last trophy was the German Cup in 1987) they look as if they could be back to form.
The current German league came into being in 1963, before this it was played regionally with the regional champions playing off for the German title.
