History

TSV Bogen was formed in 1883 and, for most of its history, has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football. Formed as a gymnastics club ''TSV'' started operating a football department in 1926. For a short time, after the

Second World War World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposin ...

, the club was renamed ASV Bogen but soon reverted to its original name. The club briefly rose to the tier four 2. Amateurliga for a season in 1953–54 but was promptly relegated again. After this the club continued, for a time, to be a force in the local A-Klasse but was eventually relegated to the B-Klasse in 1961. Only in 1970 did the club return to the A-Klasse, followed by promotion to the Bezirksliga in 1972. ''TSV'' played in one of the two divisions of the Bezirksliga Niederbayern from 1972 to 1985, on occasion coming close to Landesliga promotion without quite succeeding. After 1985 a lengthy decline followed, lasting until 2008 when the club once more won promotion to the Bezirksliga, where it played for two seasons from 2008 to 2010. It finished runners-up on both occasions, earning promotion to the Bezirksoberliga in 2010.Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Süd tables & results
