History

''TSV'' was established in November 1882 as the gymnastics club ''Männerturnverein 1882 Landsberg'' and adopted its current name around 1918. The club's footballers went their own way in 1923 as ''Fußball-Club 1911 Landsberg''. In 1934, ''FC'' was re-united with ''TSV'' and joined by the army club ''Militär-Sportverein Landsberg'' to create ''TuSpV Landsberg''. After World War II occupying Allied authorities dissolved all organizations in the country, including sports and football clubs. ''FC'' and ''TSV'' were both later re-formed sometime in 1945. ''FC'' adopted the name ''Sportverein 1911 Landsberg'' in 1947 and on 31 March 1949 the club was again re-united with founding association ''TSV''. Throughout its existence the football team has played in lower tier local competition with the exception of a single season spent in the
