TSV Schwieberdingen is a German football club located in Schwieberdingen, a town in Baden-Württemberg. The club started on August 1, 1906, as a gymnastics club. For its first 40 years, gymnastics was its main focus. The club tried to start a football team in 1919, but it didn't last long. However, a second attempt in 1937 was successful.

Club History

Early Years and Growth

After World War II, like many groups in Germany, the club was temporarily closed. It reopened in July 1946 as Sport und Kulturverein Schwieberdingen. By late 1947, it went back to its original name, TSV Schwieberdingen.

In the years after the war, the club focused on both gymnastics and football. Football became more and more important. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, TSV grew a lot. It added ten new sports sections, including table tennis, handball, volleyball, swimming, and judo.

Football Team's Journey

From the late 1970s, the football team steadily moved up through different leagues. They went from the A-Klasse Enz-Murr to the 2. Amateurliga Württemberg, and then to the Landesliga Württemberg.

After a tough period, the team dropped down a league. But they worked hard and returned to the fourth-tier league in the mid-1990s. In 2002, they made it to the round of 16 in the Württemberg Cup, which was a great achievement.

In 2004, Schwieberdingen was promoted to the Verbandsliga Württemberg (which was the fifth-highest league at the time). They played there until 2007. That year, they finished second and won their promotion play-off games. This success moved them up to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg, an even higher league.

They stayed in the Oberliga for one season before being moved down again. After this, the club decided to move its team down to the Bezirksliga Enz-Murr, which was the eighth-tier league. They even dropped to the Kreisliga A for one season. However, they returned to the Bezirksliga in 2014 and have played there since.

Youth Team Success

The club's youth (younger players) division has also been very successful. They have won the Württemberg championship twice. They also won the South German championship two times. On top of that, they achieved third and fourth place finishes in the national youth finals, showing how strong their young talent is.
