History
The club was established as the gymnastics club ''Turn- und Sportverein Altenholz'' on 1 May 1948 and did not form a football department until nearly two decades later on 29 June 1966.

KG'' in order to protect it from any future financial risk. They played four seasons under this status at the Oberliga level with their best result coming as a third-place finish in 2000. The legal separation between the two entities was later undone in 2001. The club voluntarily withdrew to the Bezirksoberliga (VI) at the conclusion of their 2002–03 campaign despite finishing outside of the relegation zone in 12th place. ''TSV'' advanced to play in the Verbandsliga (V) and qualified in 2008 for the
