history
In 1919, the Schwerter football club was founded, which was later called SSC Union Schwerte . This merged in 1933 with the Alemannia Schwerte club founded in 1921 to form VfL Schwerte . After the Second World War , all sword clubs were merged into a large club not known by name. In 1951, VfL Schwerte split off from this major club.
After a runner-up in the Dortmund district class in 1957 behind Arminia Marten , he was promoted to the Westphalia regional league a year later . There succeeded in the following season 1958/59 the march into the then third-class Association League Westphalia . There, the swords initially fought against relegation before VfL went up in the mid-1960s. In 1966 and 1967, VfL finished fifth.
The following season 1967/68 the swords ended the season as runner-up behind SSV Hagen and had the chance to qualify for the German amateur championship. The first leg against Hammer SpVg was initially won 2: 1, but in the second leg Hamm prevailed 8: 3 after extra time . The VfL slipped back into mediocrity and had to relegate to the state league in 1973 after a playoff defeat against DSC Wanne-Eickel . Several years followed in the lower division.
In 1999, VfL was runner-up in the national league behind VfB Westhofen , but failed in the following round of promotion to the association league at FSC Rheda and FC Rhade . A year later, the swords secured the championship and returned to the association league. In 2005, the team finished fifth again. Five years later, VfL was relegated from what is now the Westphalian league, and two years later slipped down to the district league.
