history

The first local football club in Asbach was founded in 1911 when some young people were practicing this sport on a local hat . The club later split into the Asbach game association with the Fink club and the Germania sports club with the Herzog restaurant as the club. After the beginning of the First World War , both clubs dissolved and were not re-established in the first few years after the war. When a free gymnastics association was formed in Asbach in 1922 , it did not offer football.

On August 5, 1928, the club was re-established at Gasthaus Fink on the initiative of the club's host Kurt Fink and chaired by Adam Fey II, although it had to do without its own sports field until 1936. The year before, the district class had at least reached the second-highest division at the time, but it was not enough to achieve national successes until the end of the Second World War.

Even in the first post-war years, the SVA only shuttled between A-Class and 2. Amateur League Hessen at the local level. In 1947, the A-youth attracted attention by reaching the Hessen finals (0: 1 against FSV Frankfurt). In 1957/58 the first team also achieved their first breakthrough in national football: As the superior relay champion with seven points ahead of second in the table SV Neuhof , the SVA won two wins in the promotion round - 2: 1 over TSV Heusenstamm and 5: 2 over Hermannia Kassel - in the 1st amateur league Hessen. The pillars of the team at that time included five members of the local Fey football family, including team captain Hans Fey. In the Hessian upper house, however, the SVA could not assert itself, despite some surprising successes - 5: 1 against Bad Homburg, 5: 2 against Kastel 06 - they had to relegate after a year. After the last attempt to return to the top amateur class failed in 1963, the SVA even temporarily relegated to the A class five years later, in 1968. In 1973, however, they managed to rise again to the district level, where the team remained constant until the end of the 1980s.

The return to national football was heralded in 1986 when Karl Schmidt, previously active in Wabern and for SG Hessen Hersfeld , joined the SVA as a player-coach and consistently focused on youth development and targeted reinforcements. In 1992/93, SV Asbach rose to the state league under coach Norbert Kallee, which also marked a changing of the guard in local football, as local rivals Hessen Hersfeld were relegated from the same for the first time since 1971. A few years after the promotion, the black and yellow rose to the Oberliga Hessen : In 1997, barely failed, the team moved into the highest Hessian league under Kallee's successor Werner Schlacher. However, the Hessenliga turned out to be too strong for the SVA to last. In the 1998/99 round they could still exist and celebrate two highlights of the season with a 2-1 win and a 1-1 win at Böllenfalltor against ex-Bundesliga club SV Darmstadt 98 , but one year later they went back to the national league .

In 2001 they almost managed to get up again, but SVA first missed the championship with two defeats against Buchonia Flieden and then also the promotion in the relegation against SV Bernbach . From 2002 the former Eintracht professional Uwe Bein from the region played at the end of his career at SVA. The club was now constant in the Landesliga Nord (from 2008: Verbandsliga Nord ), but the return to the Hessenliga was not possible until 2009 via relegation. However, after only 16 points from 36 games, the team rose immediately back to the association league.

The SVA has played in the Fulda group league since the 2016/2017 season. After relegation from the association league, many players left the club. After the end of the 2017/2018 season, SVA Bad Hersfeld stopped playing and merged with SG Hessen Hersfeld to form SG Festspielstadt Hersfeld .
