The VfR Achern is a German sports club from Achern in southern Baden .

Soccer

Founded in 1907 as FC Achern, the club was renamed VfR Achern three years later. In 1939 the VfR rose to the Gauliga Baden as champions of the Freiburg division . After they had remained in the finals of the regional championship in ten games without a win, the team did not appear in the top division in the following year.

When it was re-established after the end of the Second World War in the summer of 1946, the club took on the name Sport-Vereinigung Achern. In 1949 the club was promoted to the South Baden Amateur League , in which the team took third place behind SC Baden-Baden and FV St. Georgen . When SV started the following season, the club ended the season after another renaming in October 1950 under the name VfR Achern in eleventh place. In 1955 the club was relegated as penultimate, but returned in 1965 to the third division. The immediate relegation was followed by renewed promotion and this time the club stayed in the top amateur league until 1970 . For the season 1977/78 the club returned for one season in the amateur league, but could not qualify for the newly created Oberliga Baden-Württemberg . A season earlier, the team returned to the national football level and competed in the DFB Cup 1976/77 . After a 2-0 win over BV Bad Lippspringe in the first round, the team was eliminated from the competition in the following round against TV Unterboihingen . Currently (since 2016) the club has been relegated from the district league to the district league A Baden-Baden.
