About Hertha BSC II

Hertha BSC II is the reserve team of German club Hertha BSC, based in Berlin. It represents the club’s second squad and is mainly used to develop young players and give match practice to academy graduates and fringe first-team players. The team operates under the same club structure but competes separately from the main professional side.

The team has spent most of its history in the lower tiers of German football, including regional and amateur leagues, with occasional promotions and relegations between divisions. Its most notable historical achievement came in the early 1990s, when it reached the final of the German cup competition in 1993, becoming the only reserve team ever to do so.

In modern football, Hertha BSC II competes in the Regionalliga Nordost, the fourth tier of the German league system. It is not eligible for promotion above the 3. Liga and does not participate in national cup competitions, as reserve teams are restricted in Germany. The squad continues to focus on player development and acts as a stepping stone toward professional football within the Hertha system.
