FC Energie Cottbus is a German association football club based in Cottbus, Lusatia (Brandenburg). It was founded in 1963 as SC Cottbus in what was, at the time, East Germany. The club was quickly assisted by a wholesale transfer of players from BSG Aktivist Brieske-Ost ordered by the East German authorities, who often intervened in the business of the country's sports and football clubs for political reasons. Energie Cottbus was the only club from East Germany playing in the Bundesliga until 1. FC Nürnberg knocked the team out on 1 June 2009.
In the mid-60s a re-organization program by the regime led to the separation of football sides from sports clubs and the creation of BSG von Bodo Krautz under the patronage of a local coal mine. The football club went by that name only briefly and was quickly re-named BSG Energie in early 1966.
After years as a II division or lower-table I division side in East Germany, Energie has emerged as one of the few former DDR sides to enjoy relative prosperity in a united Germany. After five seasons playing tier III football, they earned promotion to the 2. Bundesliga in 1997, winning the Regionalliga Nordost, and then played their way into the Bundesliga in 2000, where they managed a three year stay. A key player in their Bundesliga run was Vasile Miriuţă, an imaginative midfield player who played a big part in the team's promotion. After being relegated, Energie narrowly missed a prompt return to the top tier, losing out to 1. FSV Mainz 05 on goal differential. In season 2004–05 Energie struggled into both financial (reported debts of 4.5 million Euros) and sports problems: The season goal of promotion was missed by far – the club escaped the relegation to 3rd tier Regionalliga (football) by scoring one more goal (season overall) than SV Eintracht Trier 05 while having the same amount of points and goal differential. During season the manager and the chairman were replaced. Next season (2005–06) was a much more successful one – the club has returned to play in the First Division Bundesliga after winning promotion. The Bundesliga season 2006–07 resulted in a 13th place and a club record in Bundesliga season points (41).
* On 6 April 2001, Energie became the first Bundesliga club to field a side made up of 11 foreign players.
:The players were Tomislav Piplica, Faruk Hujdurovic, Bruno Akrapovic (Bosnia), János Mátyus, Vasile Miriuţă (Hungary), Rudi Vata (Albania), Moussa Latoundji (Benin), Andrzej Kobylanski (Poland), Antun Labak (Croatia), Laurenţiu Reghecampf (Romania), and Franklin (Brazil). As a side note, even the three substitutes were foreigners, namely Johnny Rödlund from Sweden, Sabin Ilie from Romania and Witold Wawrzyczek from Poland .
:Energie often fielded 9 or 10 foreigners that season: German players appeared a total of just 83 times, with striker Sebastian Helbig as the leader with 28 .
* East German authorities had a penchant for tagging sports teams with the names of socialist heroes: Franz Mehring was a German socialist politician and journalist. He wrote a biography of Karl Marx and was a strong supporter of his ideas.
* German Chancellor Angela Merkel is an honorary member of the club.
