==History==

The club was founded in 1951. The club was founded by Emil Horle.<ref>[https://www.bsvbern.ch/bsv-familie/unsere-geschichte?selected-categories=1950+%E2%80%93+1980 ''Unsere Geschichte. Saison 1951.''] BSV Bern, retrieved 13 March 2023</ref> The team was promoted to the first division in the 1959/60 season. The following year, the team became champions. In the 1979/80 season, the team won the Swiss championship title undefeated. No other team has managed to achieve this so far. BSV became champion again in the 1984/85 season. At the end of the 1998/99 season, the team was relegated from the first division after 39 years. In 2003, they reached the top flight again and have been playing there ever since. In 2002, BSV merged with Handball Muri Bern and continued under the name BSV Bern Muri. In 2018, they decided to go under the name BSV Bern again.
