history

The league was introduced under the name "Amateur League Southwest" for the 1952/53 season after the amateur leagues Rheinhessen , West Palatinate and Front Palatinate were merged. At that time it represented the substructure for the 2nd Southwest League and was therefore third-class in the overall league hierarchy. The same was true after the introduction of the Regionalliga Südwest as the second highest division. From the season 1974/75, the league acted as a substructure for the newly introduced 2nd Bundesliga , with the Südwestmeister determined against the champions of the Amateur League Rhineland and the Amateur League Saar in a promotion round a climber in the southern season of the 2nd Bundesliga. From the 1978/79 season, the Oberliga Südwest was (re) introduced as the highest amateur division. The division was renamed "Verbandsliga Südwest" and was only fourth class from that point on. The master rose in each case to the league. Since the introduction of the third-tier regional leagues in the 1994/95 season, the Verbandsliga Südwest only represented the fifth highest division and after the introduction of the third division from the 2008/09 season only the sixth highest level in German league football.
