The club's greatest success came in 2012 when it qualified for the new northern division of the expanded Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system but lasted for only one season before being relegated again.

For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football.

It won the league in 1978 and earned promotion to the Bezirksliga where it lasted for two seasons.

The club promptly returned to the Landesliga the following season after a second Bezirksoberliga title and came eighth in the league in 2012,[4] a high enough finish to qualify directly for the new northern division of the Bayernliga.

Trogen lasted for only one season there before being relegated back to the Landesliga Bayern-Nordost.
