History
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.
In the 2024–25 season, MBC won its first national trophy when they captured the BBL-Pokal, after defeating favored Bayern Munich and Bamberg in the final four, which was hosted in Weißenfels. Michael Devoe scored 27 points in the final and was named the tournament MVP. MBC became the first team from the new states of Germany to win the Cup title.[2]
