history

The beginnings of football in Tiefenort can be traced back to 1913. After the end of the Second World War, the Tiefenort team became Eisenach district champion in the 1947/48 season and then played under various names in the newly founded Thuringia regional class from the 1948/49 season . This was formally initially the highest division and from the 1949/50 season became the second highest and from the 1950/51 season the third highest division in the GDR. In the 1951/52 season , the Tiefenort team won the title of Thuringian national champion as BSG activist Kaiseroda-Tiefenort and thus rose to the second highest division of the GDR league . However, the team could not hold in the GDR league and rose after the 1952/53 season in the third-class district league Suhl , which became the fourth highest division after the introduction of the 2nd GDR league in 1955.

The term “activist” served as an indication that the local potash works acted as a carrier company , which financed the BSG and offered the players jobs. To make this even clearer, the name of the community was changed to BSG activist Kali Werra Tiefenort in 1956. 1958 Kali Werra qualified with a third place in the district league for the expanded to five seasons II. GDR League and was thus again third class. When the II. League was abolished in 1963, Kali Werra played again in the Suhl district league. You stayed in third class, but could only compete with opponents from your own district. The win of the district championship in the 1967/68 season and the successful participation in the promotion round entitled to promotion to the GDR league, which the team was again second class after a long break. Interrupted by two relegations in 1972/73 and 1984/85 , each of which was followed by immediate resurgence, the potash miners held their own in the GDR league until they were relegated in 1987/88 . They achieved the best placement in 1976/77 and 1979/80, each with a third place.

After German reunification, it became possible again to found civil associations in East Germany. In 1990 the footballers of the previous BSG used this and founded the FSV Kali Werra Tiefenort. Following the last promotion to the second highest division in the 1989/90 season, the club missed qualification for the newly created NOFV Oberliga Süd in the 1990/91 season as the penultimate of the NOFV league . By adopting the DFB game rules in the new federal states, Kali Werra was now only fourth class. After a further descent in the following year, 1995 succeeded in returning to the now fifth-class Thuringia League, in which Tiefenort played until 2000. Another double relegation washed the club into the lowlands of the now eight-class district league. In 2012 they were relegated to the ninth-class Bad Salzungen district league. In 2014 he was promoted to the regional league West Thuringia, where they missed relegation in the 2016/17 season. The Tiefenorter currently play in a syndicate with SV 1930 Frauensee in the ninth-class district league West Thuringia.
