History
The club was established as Fußball Club Kreuznach on 18 June 1902 and later, in 1907 merged with Sport Club 1906 Kreuznach to become 1. FC Kreuznach. This side was joined on 19 August 1932 with Fußballsportverein 07 Kreuznach.
During the World War II, the club became part of the first division Gauliga Mittelrhein when that circuit was expanded from 10 to 21 teams and split into the Gauliga Köln-Aachen and Gauliga Moselland. They finished atop the Moselland Gruppe Ost, but then lost the divisional playoff to FV Stadt Düdelingen, a club from German-occupied Luxemburg. Kreuznach remained part of Gauliga competition until the end of the 1943–44 season, after which the war overtook the region and play in the division was suspended.
Eintracht Bad Kreuznach played one year in the 2nd Bundesliga, which was during the 1975/76 season.
In 2000, the club advanced to the Oberliga Südwest (IV) where they played until being sent down to the Verbandsliga Südwest (V) after a 17th place Oberliga result in 2008. What followed was two more relegations and an insovlency in 2011, caused by a dept of Euro 110,000, which took the club to the tier eight Bezirksliga Nahe.
The club began its recovery in 2011-12 when it took out the Bezirksliga title and earned promotion to the Landesliga again.
