The club's greatest success has been to earn promotion to the tier four Regionalliga West in 2014 but they were relegated after just one season.

After an eleventh-place finish in 2011 the club entered a more successful era, winning the league in 2012.

It also won the Middle Rhine Cup that season and qualified for the first round of the 2012–13 DFB-Pokal where it lost to TSV 1860 Munich.

[2][1] At the end of the 2011–12 season the German football league system saw some changes, among them the Verbandsliga Mittelrhein being elevated a tier and receiving Oberliga status.

Hennef remained at this level rather than being promoted to the Regionalliga West and won the Oberliga in the next two seasons.
