history

The Augsburg Gymnastics Club was founded in 1847, but soon had to deal with considerable difficulties. During the revolution of 1848/49 he was threatened with dissolution by the government of the Kingdom of Bavaria . With the resignation of some members of the TSV, the MTV (Men's Gymnastics Club) Schwaben Augsburg was created in 1863 , but this was reintegrated in 1868. The same thing happened again in 1889 and 1919. The football department of TV 1847 Augsburg was established in 1907.

The club was also able to survive the First World War relatively well. From March 29, 1919, the team played under the name Schwaben Augsburg . In 1922 the South German Cup was won. In the course of the clean divorce in 1924 u. a. the football department of the gymnastics club and became independent under the name SV Schwaben Augsburg, after a merger that took place shortly thereafter, the club was called SSV Schwaben Augsburg. When the National Socialists came to power, however, the independence was initially over; together with other Augsburg clubs, they had to merge in 1941 to form the new large club TSV Schwaben Augsburg. Meanwhile, you were first class as a member of the Gauliga Bayern and Südbayern 1933–35 and 1937–45. The forced marriage broke up again after the war and the athletes and gymnasts decided to continue their clubs independently.

As a member of the Oberliga Süd 1945–52, 1954–57 and 1961–63, Schwaben Augsburg belonged to the top division. The best placement was rank 5 in the Oberliga 1946. In 1958, the Swabians slipped through relegation from the II. Division to the third division , but managed to return to the II. Division in the 1960/61 season and there as a newcomer the march through Oberliga together with local rivals BC. After the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963, the Swabians were assigned to the Regionalliga Süd and held this class until 1969.

On July 15, 1969, the licensed players department joined forces with local rivals BC Augsburg to form FC Augsburg in order to bundle forces in Augsburg football. The TSV Schwaben, however, continued to provide an amateur team, but committed themselves according to the statutes to exclude a future promotion to the professional area. After all, in 1981 they made the leap into the then highest amateur class, the Bayern League . After that, the Swabians led the existence of an elevator team between the Bayern and Landesliga , with the better (ie Bayernliga) years 1981-84, 1988-90, 1991/92, 1998-2001 and 2002/03 being. In 2007 the team was relegated to the regional league (6th league) and had to cope with another severe blow with the death of long-time head of department Josef Schmucker. Schmucker, who headed the football division for 37 years, died of a heart attack on the night of December 5, 2007. During the long term of office, his name became a national synonym for TSV Schwaben and was inextricably linked to the successes of the Swabians in recent decades. In the 2007/08 season the class could not be held again, which meant the fall in the district league (then 8th league). In addition, the 2nd team from the district class had to be canceled before the start of the 2008/09 season.

On June 7, 2009, TSV Schwaben succeeded in immediately returning to the regional league Swabia with a 1-0 win in a relegation game against TSV Dinkelscherben.
