The team was established 4 May 1907 as Turn- und Sportverein Süden Forst. They joined the Arbeiter-Turn- und Sportbund (ATSB or Workers' Gymnastics and Sports Federation) in 1919 and made two appearances in the league final after claiming the regional Ostdeutschland title. In 1920, they beat TSV Cassel-Waldau 5–1 in a semi-final match-up before losing to Tuspo Fürth 2–3 in the final. In 1926, they advanced to the final past TSV St. Leonhardt-Schweinau (2–0), where they dropped a 1–5 decision to DSV 1910 Dresden. The club was active until 1933 when worker's sports clubs were banned as politically undesirable under the Third Reich. After 1933, the club merges with VfB 1901 Forst (founded 1901 as FC Hohenzollern Forst) to SpVgg Forst and plays in the second division of Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg. The club was dissolved 1945.
