At the end of the 2011–12 season, the team qualified for the newly expanded Landesliga after finishing seventh in the Bezirksoberliga and defeating 1.

[5] The 2012–13 season saw the club finish seventeenth in the Landesliga, requiring it to enter a play-of-round with the Bezirksliga runners-up.

TuSpo was formed on 4 December 1898 under the name of Freie Turner Bayreuth as a working-class gymnastics club.

They made the disastrous decision to purchase their football field and the associated costs forced the VfB into liquidation in 1930.

[10] Several old members formed a new VfB Bayreuth almost immediately and the new club soon became a force in regional football.

It soon advanced to the tier-two Bezirksliga, where it met strong northern Bavarian clubs like FC Bayern Hof.

[11] The league split into a northern and a southern division in 1953 and VfB became part of the Amateurliga Nordbayern.

Oberliga Süd, the team could only win one of its four games, and SpVgg Neu-Isenburg and VfR Heilbronn were promoted instead.

[17] On 19 December 1968, the members of VfB voted in favor of the merger and the club ceased to exist shortly after, becoming part of BSV 98.

[21] After a third place in its first Bezirksliga season, it slipped to the other end of the table the year after and was relegated to the A-Klasse in 1998, following 1.

FC was the only one to reach top-level football in its history, earning promotion to the Bezirksliga Bayern in 1926.

FC Nürnberg and SpVgg Fürth, the club held its own, a fourth place in 1933 being its best result.

FC attempted to return to Bavaria's highest league, now the tier-two Landesliga Bayern, in 1946 but failed in the promotion round.

[23] In 1949, it fared better, winning the Kreisliga Oberfranken-Ost and the promotion round and moving up to what was now the tier-three Amateurliga Bayern.

[24] In this league, the club finished second and earned the right to compete in the first edition of the German amateur football championship, where it lost 1–0 to VfL Sindelfingen in the first round.

[25] The club continued to be a strong side in the league the following season and became part of the northern group of the Bavarian Amateurliga.

[28] the club returned immediately to the Amateurliga in 1962 but missed qualification to the new single division league by two points in 1963.

[30] The team played as an elevator side in the following years, earning promotion to the Amateurliga in 1969 and 1972 again, while being relegated from there in 1966, 1970 and, for a last time, in 1975.

It made an immediate return from there but, in 1985, it was relegated for the last time from the Landesliga, alongside BSV.

[22] Up until the merger in 2003, neither club managed to return from local Bayreuth amateur football.
