On October 1, 1908, the club was founded as FC Villingen 08 . The merger with the athletes' club Germania Villingen on October 4, 1920 was resolved again in the 1920s.

First men's team

Years of excellence

The first men's team was one of Baden's top teams from the mid-1920s to the late 1930s. From 1927 they played in the then first-class Baden district class, from which they were relegated in 1931. However, they remained a top team in the second-rate district class of Upper Baden. During this time, the club also produced the three-time national player Hermann Gramlich . Another good player of his time was Willi Armbruster (called "Knöpfle"), but he could not achieve the status of Hermann Gramlich. After the team failed in the promotion round to the Gauliga Baden in 1934 and 1936 , they not only became sovereign champions of the district class in 1939, but also rose to the first-class Gauliga. Only a year later, however, after a league reform caused by the war, they rose again. In the first post-war season you were in the top division, the league . The club came second in the Südbaden-Ost group.

Relegation to third class

After the dissolution in June 1946, the club was re-established as ASV Villingen . This played from 1948 also in the league and was there third. On December 22, 1949, the name was renamed FC Villingen 08 and at the end of the 1949/50 season as a table ninth under the relegation to the third division of the South Baden amateur league caused by a reform of the league system and the accession of the southern Baden clubs to the southern regional association .

Supraregional importance in the Regionalliga Süd

The return was made in 1966. As champions of the Black Forest-Bodensee amateur league , the club also won the promotion round to the Regionalliga Süd . For six years, the club was also able to compete with big teams such as the multiple German champions SpVgg Fürth and Freiburg FC and, after being relegated from the Bundesliga , 1. FC Nürnberg or TSV 1860 Munich . Between 4,441 and 6,206 spectators came to the home games on average during these years and even reached ninth place in the table at the end of the 1969/70 season.

Up and down between the amateur league and the association league

After relegation to the Black Forest-Bodensee amateur league in 1972, they failed in the promotion round as well as in 1976, against local rivals BSV 07 Schwenningen of all places . When the league was re-established as the highest amateur league in Baden-Württemberg in 1978 , it was classified in this but was relegated two years later. Since then, the club has managed to return to this league five times, which has only been fourth class since 1994 and only fifth class since 2008. But in 1984, 1986, 1995 and 2005, they were relegated after just one year. Only from 2001 to 2003 you played two years in a row in the amateur league.

In the 2005/06 season, in which she was coached by former Bundesliga professional Kristijan Djordjević , the team played in the fifth-rate association league South Baden . Surprisingly, on the last day of the match, the sovereign leading Bahlinger SC was intercepted and the promotion to the league was made perfect.

Return to the big leagues

With Djorđjević a notable fourth place in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg was achieved in 2006/07 . In the same season, the team managed to move into the DFB Cup with a 2-0 win in the South Baden cup final against third-class SC Pfullendorf ( Regionalliga Süd ) . In the first round of the DFB Cup, Villingen lost 3-1 to the then second division club SC Freiburg in the Derby in southern Baden .

On May 9, 2008, coach Djordjevic resigned at the end of the season, and then on May 10, 2008 with immediate effect from his contract as coach of FC 08 Villingen, which ran until 2011.

In the following seasons, the FC moved mostly in the middle of the table until the end of the 2015/16 season under coach Jago Maric as table 16. had to relegate from the Oberliga to the Association League South Baden . In the following season, again with Maric, the sovereign rise again succeeded with only one defeat and 85 points. Since the 2017/18 season Villingen-Schwenningen has been active again in the Baden-Württemberg Oberliga.

Second men's team

During the successful phase, when the 1st team played in the Regionalliga Süd for six years , the 2nd men's team also managed to move up to the third division in 1970.

FC 08 Villingen played in the Waldstrasse stadium from 1920 to 1960. The Friedengrund Stadium was inaugurated on October 15, 1960, with a roofed main grandstand (800 seats) offering space for 16,000 spectators (2,500 covered standing room). During the cup game against Hamburger SV (1: 3) on January 4, 1970, the Friedengrund Stadium had its best visit to date with 15,149 paying spectators. Since 2011 the Friedengrund Stadium has been called the ebm-papst-Stadion and from 2019 the MS-Technologie-Arena.

Fan scene

The average of around 1,100 spectators per home game (as of May 2008) is quite good for the major league, but very low compared to earlier times. Nevertheless there is an active fan scene organized in the traditional “Black & White” fan club and the ultra-oriented “FC 08 Supporters Club”, which has existed since 2004 . In the course of time, two new groups split off from the Supporters Club: the “Scene VS” and the “Wild Boys Villingen”. The number of fans for away games can be described as above average, although the size of the active block varies greatly.
