BV Chemnitz 99, commonly known as Niners Chemnitz, is a German basketball club based in Chemnitz, Saxony. Ever since its foundation, the team has played in Germany’s lower divisions but moved up second division ProA in 2002. Its declared goal is to play in Germany’s prime league Basketball Bundesliga.[1]

History

The club was formed in 1999 as "BV Chemnitz 99" by the fusion of the clubs BG Chemnitz and Lok Chemnitz. In 2001, BV Chemnitz 99 began a cooperation with the Chemnitz University of Technology, which is why "TU" was added to the team name. In the summer of 2002, the division of the men's team (BV TU Chemnitz 99) and the women's team (Chemcats Chemnitz) followed. For the men's team, the nickname Niners evolved through the foundation year 1999.
