History

MBC logo used until 2019

The club was founded as SSV Einheit Weißenfels in 1958 and has played in the Basketball Bundesliga since the 1999–2000 season. In 2003-04, Mitteldeutscher won the FIBA EuroCup Challenge, defeating JDA Dijon Basket in the Final. Later that season, however, the team filed for bankruptcy and the league relegated the team to the Regionalliga (third division).[1]

MBC won promotion to the second division after the 2004–05 season and earned promotion back to the Basketball Bundesliga after the 2008–09 season. In 2010 and 2016 the team relegated again, but promoted back the next season both times.
