[2] Through the 1980s and 1990s, FSV was as an upper table side in third division play and earned a single season promotion to the 2.

The team again qualified for promotion play following their 1992 Oberliga title, but were beaten by Wuppertaler SV.

Between 1992 and 1996, Salmrohr captured five consecutive regional cup titles, however, in the late-1990s the club's performances began to tail off and they slipped to lower-level competition.

The next year the club only escaped relegation because a pair of teams that finished ahead of them were denied licenses due to their financial problems.

By the turn of the millennium Salmrohr was playing in the Oberliga Südwest as a fourth division side.
