The first team of SV Südwest currently plays in the seventh-class regional league east.
history
In the hope of achieving the Bundesliga through a merger and pooling of forces, TuRa Ludwigshafen merged with SV Phönix 03 Ludwigshafen on May 29, 1964 to form SV Südwest Ludwigshafen . Both TuRa and Phönix were themselves the result of a merger. TuRa Ludwigshafen's roots lie with MTV 1882 Ludwigshafen (which emerged from TV Hemshof , which was founded in 1882 ), with SC Germania Ludwigshafen and with Ludwigshafener FG 03 , which merged into TuRa Ludwigshafen on May 20, 1938 . Just one year later, involuntarily under pressure from the National Socialists, the nationally known clubs FC Pfalz Ludwigshafen and FC Phönix Ludwigshafen merged with the TuFC Ludwigshafen , the TV 1861 Ludwigshafen , the Stemm- und Ringclub Ludwigshafen and the Canoe Club Ludwigshafen to form TSG 1861 Ludwigshafen . After this was dissolved after the Second World War , members of FC Pfalz and FC Phönix formed the SV Phönix 03 Ludwigshafen .
The hope of reaching the Bundesliga by joining forces did not come true for Südwest Ludwigshafen : The club remained in the highest southwest German division until 1996 - in the Regionalliga Südwest until 1974 , after which it was in the Southwest Amateur League for four years , after the amalgamation with the amateur leagues Rhineland and Saarland until 1994 in the amateur Oberliga Südwest and after the introduction of the new regional league for two years in the Oberliga Südwest. At the end of the 1995/1996 season, SV Südwest rose as table 17. and thus penultimate in the Football Association League Southwest.
The closest to promotion to the Bundesliga was SV Südwest in 1971 under coach Georg Gawliczek , when the club missed the promotion round by just one point and Borussia Neunkirchen and FK Pirmasens had to give way. It did not become similarly tight again in the following years. In the DFB Cup 1978/79 , the team reached the quarter-finals and defeated, among other things, the Bundesliga club 1. FC Kaiserslautern . The quarter-finals were lost 2-0 to 1. FC Nürnberg .
At the end of the association league season 2013/14, SV Südwest rose as fourth in the table in the Landesliga Ost, in which he competed in the 2014/15 season. After this season was finished fifteenth in the table, there was relegation to the district league Vorderpfalz, in which they have been competing since 2015.
In the summer of 2018, SV Südwest Ludwigshafen set the clocks to 0 and started a completely new beginning. The district league team signed a total of 24 new players, as well as a new coaching team. Erdem Kar as 1st coach as well as Sebastian Schulz and Timo Muser will from now on hold the reins in their hands. The aim of the newly formed team is to form a unit in the 2018/2019 season. In the long term, the association should be brought back to its old successes. The two board members Torsten Heger (1st board member) and Christian Wippert (head of the soccer department) have been responsible for this since summer 2017.
From the 2019/2020 season, Frank Wieschalla took over the 1st team and he immediately achieved a coup. After 5 years in the district league, SV Südwest rose again to the regional league east in summer 2020.
