Lehnerz would play the next sixteen seasons at this level, generally achieving good results and finishing in the upper half of the table. It finished runners-up in 2007 and, again in 2012 but failed to win promotion on each occasion. The 2012–13 season proved to be the most successful for the club, winning its Verbandsliga division and thereby direct promotion to the tier five

In its first season in the Hessenliga the club finished in fourth place. In 2014–15 the club finished runners-up in the league and thereby earned the right to take part in the promotion round to the
Regionalliga Südwest. After two draws the club missed out on promotion with
Bahlinger SC promoted instead.
In April 2018, TSV acquired the men's first team of
Borussia Fulda, which resigned from the Hessenliga, but remained as an association and continued to provide youth teams. The club was renamed SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz and received a new logo and new club colours. With the addition of the name ''Barockstadt'', the connection to the city of Fulda has been emphasised.
On 1 July, all these became official.
