Eisbären Berlin have won seven German championship titles since re-unification in 1990. Prior to that, the club were champions of East Germany 15 times under the name SC Dynamo Berlin. The team also finished 3rd at the 1983/84 European Cup. 

In light of the many successful years in the recent past and as the only former East German club in the DEL, Eisbären have built a huge fanbase in the former East Germany. A new era in the club's history began in 1999 when Anschutz Entertainment Group took over on the business side and set up new structures that provided the club with financial stability. This led to unprecedented success for the club, with seven titles in a nine-year span between 2004 and 2013. 

In the 2017/18 season, they made it to the DEL Finals but came up short against Red Bull Munich. 

2021/2 will be Eisbären's fifth campaign in the Champions Hockey League. In the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons, they advanced through the Group Stages and Rounds of 32 to reach the Round of 16 each time. They were the first German team to reach that stage of the tournament.
