history

The club was founded on February 15, 1907 under the name 1. Football Club Ludwigsburger Kickers , and when the club started working again after the First World War, it was renamed VfB Ludwigsburg . In 1938 the VfB Ludwigsburg merged with the RKV Ludwigsburg to form today's sports association 07 Ludwigsburg .

After the Second World War, the sports association initially played in the 2nd amateur league. In 1955 SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg was penultimate and had to be relegated to the third in the promotion round to the 2nd amateur league. Here they won against VfB Conweiler 7-1 and avoided falling into the A-class. As a result, the sports association occupied places in the top third of the table. After completing the points round in 1956/57, Ludwigsburg was at the top of the table together with the previous year's relegated team, Stuttgarter SC . The final game for the championship, scheduled for Easter Saturday 1957, was won 1-0 by 07 Ludwigsburg in front of 7,000 spectators on the Schlotwiese in Zuffenhausen with a goal from the oldest 07 player, Willy Kanzok. By winning the championship, the club had qualified for the promotion round to the 1st amateur league Württemberg , in which three of the six champions of the 2nd amateur leagues were promoted to the highest amateur class in Württemberg. In the end, Ludwigsburg was first ahead of FC Wangen 05 and SpVgg 08 Schramberg and made it into the first amateur league for the first time.

In 1963 the Wuerttemberg Vice Championship came in second behind the amateurs of VfB Stuttgart . After SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg was only eleventh in the following year, they played again against relegation in the 1964/65 season. At the end of the season they finished third from last with SSV Ulm . In the subsequent deciding game for relegation, Ludwigsburg prevailed 4-1 against SSV Ulm and remained third-rate for another year. In the following season, the team rose as the penultimate with 20:44 points and 41:64 goals in the 2nd amateur league. After relegation to the 2nd amateur league in 1966, it was not until 1970 that the rise could be celebrated.

The 1970s were a successful time for Sportvereinigung 07 Ludwigsburg. In the first year after returning to the first amateur league, the club was able to reach the vice-championship and qualification for the promotion games to the regional soccer league - the second highest German division at the time - as a newcomer . After the promotion round, FC Singen , SV Waldhof Mannheim and Ludwigsburg were tied, so a decision-making round was necessary to determine who was promoted. Waldhof defeated Singen on penalties in the first play-off and met 07 Ludwigsburg in the final on June 20, 1971 in Rastatt. With two goals within 60 seconds, striker Günther Schuh brought SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg 2-0 up, while Ludwigsburg saved the narrow 2-1 victory for 30 minutes and were promoted.

From then on, well-known clubs such as 1. FC Nürnberg , which was defeated 5: 1 in the Jahnstadion, 1860 Munich and Karlsruher SC in Ludwigsburg made guest appearances for two years . Three times (around 1860, the club and VfR Heilbronn ) the stadium was sold out with 15,000 spectators. The success and the popularity of the audience aroused desire, and so professionals from Germany, but also from France and Belgium, were hired. The Swabian promoted team was taken over by former Bundesliga coach Kurt Baluses for the 1971/72 round , who died on March 28, 1972 - two days after a 2-1 draw at 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 . After two seasons, the regional league adventure was over. This was followed by relegation to the 1st Amateur League Württemberg, to which the black and yellow belonged until 1978.

1974 was the only title win in the club's history. In front of their home crowd, the team around the later Bundesliga professionals Rainer Adrion and Frank Schäffer were able to defeat the amateurs of VfB Stuttgart on penalties in the final of the WFV Cup . 1700 fans watched the final in the Ludwigsburg Jahn Stadium. After no goal had been scored in 120 minutes of playing time, the hosts showed better nerves and won 5: 3 with all Ludwigsburg shooters - Schäffer, Zwickel, Swillus, Eisenhardt and Häfner - scoring. In 1981 the same pairing took place again in the Jahnstadion. Jürgen Heselschwerdt equalized the VfB lead, and overtime was again. The knockout with the 1: 2 overtook Ludwigsburg shortly before the end of the game.

In 1978 the SpVgg qualified for the newly founded Oberliga Baden-Württemberg , in which the best teams from the associations North Baden, South Baden and Württemberg are represented. With one interruption in the 1988/89 season - when they were relegated to the Württemberg Association - they belonged to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg without interruption until the regional league was introduced in 1994. The aftermath of the regional league intermezzo from 1971 to 1973 accompanied the sports association over the years and almost led them to financial ruin in the mid-1980s. This was prevented at the last minute by the Ludwigsburg architect Kurt Knecht (born February 7, 1934 in Stuttgart ; † March 7, 2018 in Rottach-Egern ), who supported the badly ailing association for ten years as a patron.

SpVgg 07 flourished again under Knecht's aegis. In 1988 Rainer Adrion took over the team as a coach in the Württemberg Association League and led them to the championship and back to the league immediately with talents like Lust , Widmayer , Mödinger or experienced players like Deutsch and goalkeeper Nossa. In 1991, the Ludwigsburg made second place and took part in the final round of the German Amateur Championship as champions from Württemberg. After victories in Unterhaching and against Eintracht Trier , the zero sevens made it into the final and, in front of 4500 spectators in the Jahn Stadium, had home rights against the amateurs of SV Werder Bremen , who won the final 2-1. Adrion then moved to the Bayern league team SpVgg Unterhaching. By participating in the amateur championship, the Ludwigsburg had qualified for the DFB Cup , defeated the then second division Eintracht Braunschweig in the first round , but failed in the second round against the Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt .

In 1994, coach Horst Hägele and the 07 team qualified for the new Regionalliga Süd. After three years of regional league membership, relegation took place in 1997. After a 1: 2 home defeat on the last matchday against the long-established amateur team of FC Bayern Munich , the Ludwigsburg had to relegate to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. The club belonged to the newly founded regional league for three seasons, until 1997 after a 16th place in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. After not being promoted again, after eight seasons in the major league in 2005, he was relegated to the Württemberg Association. In 2011 there was another descent into the seventh-class regional league, which was followed by relegation to the district league in 2018.

Due to financial and personnel difficulties, the general meeting on March 29, 2019 decided to merge the association with MTV Ludwigsburg. In the course of the merger, SpVgg 07, which had a bank debt of over EUR 200,000, was dissolved.
