In the spring of 1962 the pilots of the "Glider Flying Group Hochschwarzwald" and the "Glider Flying Group Roter Milan " founded the "Luftsportvereinigung Hochschwarzwald eV Roter Milan". The founding location was the "Sonne" in Bonndorf and the seat of the association was also Bonndorf.
In 1969 the club was renamed "Segelfluggruppe Hochschwarzwald eV". The seat of the association remained in Bonndorf. It was not until 1970 that the company moved to Reiselfingen.
At a general meeting on March 19, 2005 the Reiselfinger Flieger decided to include the place name Reiselfingen in the club name. The association is registered today under "Segelfluggruppe Reiselfingen eV".
The "Segelfluggruppe Reiselfingen eV" is currently a training company for glider, cloud and aerobatics as well as for motor glider and ultralight pilots in the BWLV (Baden-Württemberg Air Sports Association).
