Success in the 1970s
In 1972 SSV Dillenburg was promoted to the Hessen League . After winning the Hessen Cup in 1976 , the SSV achieved another great success a year later with the runner-up. At the German Amateur Championship , in which the team was allowed to participate based on this result, the fifth place was achieved. In the 1976/77 season (1: 3 against the amateurs of FC Bayern Munich ) and 1978/79 (2: 4 against FSV Frankfurt ) of the SSV under coach took Gerd vom Bruch at the German Cup in part, but failed both times in the first round.
Sporty and voluntary descent
In 1981 the SSV Dillenburg rose after a disappointing season from the highest Hessian league in the state league . After participating in the DFB-Pokal again in the 1981/82 season (2: 7 in the first round against Borussia Mönchengladbach ), the SSV missed the possible return to the league in 1990 and 1991. In 1993, the club withdrew its first team from the game operation due to financial problems, so that the former second team took up the new first team in the district league, from which they, however, relegated to the A-League .
New beginnings and ascents
After the new start in the A-League, the leap back to the district league was successful in 1996, and in 2001 one step higher. For a long time the SSV Dillenburg belonged to the group league Gießen / Marburg, currently (July 2014) they play again in the district league A Dillenburg.
