1. FC Breslau was a German association football club from the city of Breslau, Lower Silesia (today Wroclaw, Poland). It was established by the former membership of SV Stern Breslau, a workers' club that had been banned by the Nazis in 1933 alongside other left-leaning and faith-based clubs. Stern was notable as the losing side in the 1924 title match of the Arbeiter-Turn- und Sportbund, (ATSB or en:Workers Gymnastics and Sports Federation), a leftist national sports organization which organized a football competition and championship separate from that of the DFB (Deutscher Fußball Bund, en:German Football Association).

1. FC played in the regional top flight Gauliga Schlesien in 1938-39 and the Gauliga Niederschlesien in 1939-40. After the end of World War II, Breslau became part of Poland and all German football clubs were dissolved.[1] [2]
