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:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
