After World War II occupying Allied authorities banned all organizations in the country including sports and football associations.

SG Waldgirmes was re-established in the summer of 1945 as a general community sports association.

The footballers were promoted to Landesliga Hessen-Mitte in 1970 and played at that level over the next three decades with the exception of single season demotions in 1975 and 1993.

In 2002 Waldgirmes earned promotion to the Oberliga Hessen (IV) after capturing their first Landesliga (V) title.

In 2008–09, the club won the Oberliga but decided not to apply for a Regionalliga licence and remained at this level.
