The club was founded in 1909 as Amicitia and through the merger with the sports club 09 in January 1923 to the sports association Amicitia Viernheim . Although the club joined the Hessian Football Association as early as 1910 , the people of Viernheim are integrated into the game operations of the Baden Football Association .

The club achieved their first major national success in 1932, when they lost 4-0 to the Stuttgart Kickers in the final of the South German Cup . In 1935 and 1939, the Viernheimers rose to the Gauliga Baden , the highest German soccer class at the time, but could only hold out for one season at a time.

After the Second World War, the Amicitia won the North Baden championship title four times in a row (1954–1957). In the fourth attempt in 1957, he won the South German Amateur Championship and at the same time was promoted to the 2nd South League . The placements there until 1963 were 6, 9, 13, 15, 13 and 7. When the Bundesliga was founded for the 1963/64 season, the club qualified for the Regionalliga Süd , which was also newly created as a substructure , but in 1964 it was the 20th immediately descent followed.

After that, the club played in the 1st amateur league for several years . After the fall down to the district league, you could work your way up to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg at the end of the 1980s and mid-1990s . After several relegations to the regional league, Amicitia played again until 2017 - after two consecutive promotions - in the Baden association league . There she achieved the runner-up in the 2007/08 season and therefore had the opportunity to move up a third time in a row via a relegation round ; however, it failed against FV Illertissen and Kehler FV . The regional league Rhein-Neckar has been the current division since relegation in 2017.

TSV

history
Logo of the previous club TSV Viernheim

The football club Sodality was founded in 1906; the name refers to a “ Marian youth sodality ”.

In 1920 the association joined the newly founded Deutsche Jugendkraft and renamed itself DJK . As a result, gymnasts, track and field athletes, fencers and a marching band came to the footballers. In 1927 handball players and fistball players followed. In the same year, on the area on Lorscher Strasse, which is still used today, the facility for the sports fields was largely self-help.

In 1930 the sports hall was built as the first covered sports facility in Viernheim. On June 22, 1934, the DJK was banned by the new rulers. The majority of the members of the forbidden club switched to TV 1893 Viernheim, which then moved its entire sports operations to the DJK-Platz. After the Second World War, those in charge of the former DJK and TV 1893 agreed to continue the sports business as before. In order to meet the requirements of the occupying powers, the name was changed to TSV 1893.

The DJK site was confiscated by the military government until May 1947 after the war, so that the full sports operations of the TSV could only be resumed afterwards. Only the handball players played on what was then the forest sports field until mid-1947. The footballers were only able to start playing again in the summer of 1947 after a makeshift repair of the main pitch.

In the early summer of 1952, the gymnastics, athletics and table tennis departments left TSV 1893 completely and re-established TV 1893 Viernheim. Because of the naming and property rights, there was a legal dispute that ended in a settlement; the TSV took the founding year of the former DJK, namely 1906, in its club name.

The members Nikolaus Bugert (Gymnastics Dept.), Ernst Kempf (Athletics Dept.), Karl Hanf and Erich Neckermann (Table Tennis Dept.) made it possible to rebuild these departments in TSV 1906 immediately.

From 1967 the sport of basketball became at home in the new club and since autumn 1991 the TSV has also had a very efficient triathlon department.

In 1996 the TSV took over the administration of the traditional stadium area on Lorscher Straße with a grass pitch, two hard courts, the small TSV hall and the large Rudolf Harbig hall, which was built in 1972 by the city of Viernheim.

Girls' soccer has also been around since 2001.

TSV Amicitia

Football department

The soccer department was hardest hit by the founding of the club. After initial difficulties and the relegation of the first team to the Landesliga Rhein-Neckar in 2012 and several relegations of the second team to the district class A2, the department has recently found its way back on the road to success. In 2013, the first team managed to get promoted back to the Nordbaden Association League and established itself as a permanent fixture. The team is currently even ahead of local rivals TSG / 09 Weinheim and VfR Mannheim in the table. The development in the youth sector is particularly gratifying. For years, the department management focused on improving youth work. All teams from the D youth, with the exception of the A youth, were able to advance to several classes and establish themselves in the respective leagues.
