The club was created in 1933 through the merger of the Wald gymnastics and sports association founded in 1897 with the Walder Ballspielverein founded in 1903 and VfB Wald founded in 1932 . For years the club was officially called VfL Wald 1897 , before it was called VfL Solingen-Wald from 1970 . Until the end of World War II , the woods played on a local level.
