The association was founded in 1937 when SpVgg Deichsel Hindenburg (founded in 1919) and TV Deichsel Hindenburg (founded in 1909) merged.

In the 1940/41 season he was promoted to the Gauliga Oberschlesien . The league was only held two seasons, however, as early as 1943 , the TuS rose again together with the LSV Adler Tarnowitz . In the period that followed, the club was unable to return to the Upper Silesian Gauliga. At the end of the war in 1945, the association expired.
