history
The club was founded in the spring of 1909 as the Bad Hersfeld swimming club . After the members had decided to play football in winter , the club called itself from June 1910 FC Britannia Hersfeld . This merged on May 31, 1919 with FC Teutonia Hersfeld, founded in 1908, and Victoria Hersfeld to form Hersfelder FV 10 . On July 7, 1921, this merged with the football department of TV Hersfeld 1848 to form SG Hessen Hersfeld. This merged in 1935 with Reichsbahn Hersfeld to form Reichsbahn-SG Hessen Hersfeld . After the Second World War , all Bad Hersfeld sports clubs merged to form the Hersfeld sports community . On August 18, 1948, this split into SG Hessen Hersfeld, TV Hersfeld 1848 and SpVgg Hersfeld . On May 23, 2018, the association took on its current name. From 1981 to 2004 the club also had a chess department , which then became independent in the form of today's SK-Turm Bad Hersfeld .
Soccer
The footballers of the SG Hessen played for the first time from 1922 to 1924 in the top division. Only after the rise in 1930 was the team able to establish itself in the top class and qualified three years later for the newly created Gauliga Hessen . There the team first played against relegation before the SG Hessen was runner-up behind SV 06 Kassel-Rothenditmold in the 1936/37 season . Two years later , the Hersfeld team took third place again before the team withdrew from the Gauliga in the summer of 1940 despite being relegated to the sport.
After the end of the war , the SG Hessen rose to the amateur league Hessen in 1950 , but rose again three years later. In 1960 and 1963, the team failed in the promotion round to Kickers Obertshausen and Eintracht Wetzlar , before the Hersfelder qualified for the newly created North Group League in 1965 and immediately became runner-up behind Hermannia Kassel . Six years later, SG Hessen was relegated and did not return to the Landesliga Hessen until 1976 . There the relegation succeeded in 1979 only after a decider win over the OSC Vellmar .
In 1981, the team prevailed in a decisive round against the tied teams of VfB Schrecksbach and Hermannia Kassel and rose to the then third-class Oberliga Hessen . After only one year in the Hessian upper house, the direct relegation followed. In 1985, the Hersfelder managed again the league promotion. Even if the direct relegation followed again, the league season 1985/86 brought a surprising 3-2 victory at the eventual champions Kickers Offenbach .
The SG Hessen stayed in the state league for a few years before relegation to the regional league in 1993. In the meantime, the team has slipped into the district league and has been playing in the Fulda group league since 2007 and forms a syndicate with SpVgg Hersfeld . In 2016, the team rose from the group league as bottom of the table.
Handball
The handball players of SG Hessen were promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga South in 1995 . Three years later , the team became undefeated champions and rose to the Bundesliga. There the women from Hersfeld reached their sporting zenith in the 1999/2000 and 2001/02 seasons with ninth place each. A year later , the chapter of the Bundesliga handball in Bad Hersfeld was over. For financial reasons, the team was withdrawn from ongoing match operations on April 1, 2003. Two years later, the handball department joined TV Hersfeld in 1848 .
