History
The club was established in 1988 through the merger of Sportfreunde Germania Oberbreisig and Sportverein Niederbreisig. The combined side advanced to the Verbandsliga Rheinland (V) in 2004. The 2007–08 season was the most successful in the short history of SG as they advanced to the semi-final of the Rheinland Pokal (Rhineland Cup) and won promotion to the Oberliga Südwest (V). The club attempted twice to establish itself in the Oberliga but on both occasions was relegated again to the Rheinlandliga.
Since 2004 the position of club chairman has been held by Guido Ernst, a politician and spokesperson for the Christian Democratic Union, the country's largest political party.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
