History
[edit]Germania Teveren was formed in 1910 and, for the most of its history, has been a non-descript amateur side in local football.[1]
The club's rise began in the early 1980s when it won promotion to the Bezirksliga for the first time, followed by promotion to the Landesliga Mittelrhein in 1985. Germania moved between those two league for the next decade until it earned promotion to the Verbandsliga Mittelrhein in 1992 and to the Oberliga after a championship in the former the following season.[2]
Germania played the next three seasons in the Oberliga Nordrhein, coming eleventh in its first season there. The club greatly improved after this, coming fourth in 1995 and winning the league in 1996. The later also allowed the club direct promotion to the Regionalliga for the first time.[2]
In the Regionalliga West/Südwest from 1996 to 1998 the club came twelfth in its first season there but finished last the year after, ending the Germania's spell in the third division. Back in the Oberliga Germania came ninth in 1999 but was relegated in 2000 after a sixteenth place. It remained in the Verbandsliga until 2003 when it dropped back to the Landesliga for a season.[2]
The club dropped out of the Verbandsliga again in 2006, playing in the Landesliga for two seasons. From 2008 to 2011 it returned to the Verbandsliga but was relegated once more and now plays in the Landesliga.[3]
