TSG Weinheim
Encyclopedia
TSG Weinheim is a German association football club
from the city of Weinheim
, Baden-Württemberg. The origins of the club go back to the founding on 20 August 1862 of the gymnastics club Turnverein Weinheim.
Throughout its early history the Weinheim club remained an anonymous side in lower tier local competition. Following a 1994 Landesliga Nordbaden (V) title win TSG broke through to the Amateurliga Nordbaden (IV) where they played as a middling side over the next four seasons.
In 1998 another local club, FV Weinheim, failed financially and its football department subsequently became part of TSG. The new team took to the field under the name TSG Weinheim 62/09 and advanced to play in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg
(IV) in 1999. They were sent down after a 15th place result, and over the next four seasons repeated the cycle of promotion followed by immediate relegation. Between 2004–09 the team played as part of the Verbandsliga Nordbaden and returned to the now fifth tier Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 2009. The club was relegated from the Oberliga again in 2011.
