history

In 1903, the city's first football club, the Hilden Football Club, was founded. FC Germania 05 was founded two years later . At the end of the First World War , the HFC and FC Germania 05 merged in 1918 to form the Association for Movement Games 03 Hilden.

The club played in both 1939 and 1944 in the Gauliga Niederrhein , the top division at the time. Due to the Second World War, the second season was canceled. There were also occasional successes in the cup. In the Tschammer Cup in 1940 , the club narrowly missed the final round. After victories over VfR Ohligs (6: 1) and BV Remscheid (4: 3) in the Westphalia / Niederrhein region, Hilden only lost 1: 3 against TuS Duisburg 48/99 . After the war VfB Hilden in the highest regional league, which was Landesliga Niederrhein divided and won in the season 1947/48 the season victory on points with Rot-Weiss Essen . The playoff against Essen was lost 2-1 and VfB missed the promotion to Oberliga West . In 1949 he was relegated from the regional league and in 1951 was promoted again.

The next decade was marked by changeable successes and relegations. In 1969, the club managed to return to the now fourth-class national league, where he reached third place in the table in the following seasons. In 1972, the team failed as tied runners - up in the table behind Schwarz-Weiß Essen, just barely advancing to the top amateur division, the Niederrhein Association League . In the 1976/77 season, VfB finally became champions of the Lower Rhine regional league and was promoted to the association league . It was only a short guest appearance and the club played in the regional league again in the 1980s, before falling into the district league in 1991 was unavoidable.

Between 2003 and 2005, VfB Hilden managed to march through from the district via the state to the association league. When in May 2008, after three years of membership in the association league, it was clear that he was relegated to the seventh-class national soccer league, there was also a change in personnel. The new coach from 2009 was Michael Kulm, ex-coach of the regional division Rot-Weiss Essen . For the 2010/11 season, Christian Deutzmann was brought in as a new managing director with high-level experience and management licenses. Deutzmann was managing director and manager at 1. FC Union Solingen until 2009 . VfB 03 finished the 2010/11 season in eighth place in the Lower Rhine regional league. The club could also look forward to the rise of the "Zwoten" in the district league A of the district of Düsseldorf and the VfB women in the district league. In 2013, VfB, led by the outgoing coach Michael Kulm and captain Sebastian Siebenbach, made it into the fifth-class Oberliga Niederrhein as champions of the regional league season 2 .

The club plays its games on the municipal sports field on Hoffeldstrasse.
