Few years after German reunification, in 1995, the club was re-created with the current name, as the football department of the "KSC Strausberg",[5] the local association regarding sport and culture.

Since 2005, Strausberg played in the Brandenburg-Liga, which was held in the following years with midfield places. In the season 2012-13 it won the championship and reached the NOFV-Oberliga Nord.[6][7]
