History

The club was formed out of the 1973 union of ''SGV Heutingsheim'' and ''TSV Beihingen''. The roots of the Heutingsheim club go back to the establishment of ''FC Spartania Heutingsheim'' on 28 January 1913. This club fused briefly with ''SV Beihingen'' in 1919 to form ''FV Beihingen-Heutingsheim'' before the two went their separate ways again within a year. ''Spartania'' then formed a new partnership with ''TV Heutingsheim'' and ''RFV Wanderlust Heutingsheim'' in 1921 to create ''SV Heutingsheim''. ''RFV'' left the association in 1926, while ''ASV TV Heutingsheim'' joined in 1933. Following World War II occupying Allied authorities banned all organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs. The sports club was re-established in 1945 as ''SGV Heutingsheim''. ''TSV Beihingen'' made a fleeting appearance in the
