TSV Aindling - History

History

The club was founded in 1946 as Turn- und Sportverein Aindling-Todtenweis and in 1956 merged with TSV Pichl.

The clubs first rose out of regional Schwaben football in 1982 when they won the Bezirksliga Schwaben-Nord and were promoted to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd (V) where they made an immediate impact with a second-place finish. They took part in a promotion round for the Bayernliga (IV) but failed to advance. Their second season in the league was almost as successful, finishing third, but, after this, the team declined and in 1989, it was relegated to the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben (V).

The club again gained promotion from the Bezirksoberliga to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd (V) in 1992 on the strength of a second place finish. A second place result at that level in 1996 then earned the team promotion to the Fußball-Bayernliga (IV) where they established themselves firmly as a mid-table side.

The 2008–09 season became the clubs most successful to-date, finishing runners-up in the Bayernliga.

TSV qualified for play in the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) in 2003 and 2004, but went out early on both occasions against Bundesliga sides. In 2003, they won the Bavarian Cup with a 14–0 victory over TSV Gerbrunn and made a losing appearance in the next year's final versus Jahn Regensburg II.

The club made negative headlines in 2011 when it, club officials and current and former players were raided by the German customs department in December 2011. Aindling is thought to have knowingly withheld social security payments. Consequently the club declined to apply for a licence for the new Regionalliga Bayern but retained its place in the Bayernliga, entering the southern division of the newly divided league from 2012.

The clubs reserve team, the TSV Aindling II has been playing in the Bezirksliga Schwaben-Nord from 2003 to 2012 when it was relegated to the Kreisliga.
