[3] In 1928, 1931, and 1932, the club, now based in the Groß Biesnitz neighbourhood, became Upper Lusatian champions and thus qualified for the participation in the south-east German finals.

By finishing 1st in group 2 of the 1940–41 Bezirksliga Niederschlesien, Görlitz qualified for the district championship final, which they lost to WSV Liegnitz, but were however promoted to the newly created Lower Silesian Gauliga.

After a total of four seasons in the third tier of the East German pyramid, BSG Motor WAMA Görlitz, as the club was known from 1965, mostly played at the regional level in the Dresden district leagues.

However, Görlitz found this level too challenging and was relegated back to the Bezirksliga Dresden along with Fortschritt Weißenfels and Dynamo Lübben in both years.

In September 2016, NFV Gelb-Weiß Görlitz withdrew its first team from Landesliga operations with immediate effect and thus became the first relegated club of the 2016–17 season.
