DSC Arminia Bielefeld is a German football club that plays in Bielefeld, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia. The side was founded in 1905 as 1. Bielefelder Fussball-Club Arminia and – a year after a failed merger with another local side, Bielefelder Turngemeinde – took on its current name, Deutscher Sportclub Arminia, in 1927.
