Following World War II occupying Allied authorities banned all organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs.
TSV Beihingen made a fleeting appearance in the Amateurliga Württemberg (IV) in 1961–62 before the merger that formed SGV.
In July 2013, Freiberg played a friendly match against Bundesliga side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim to mark SGV's 100-year anniversary, surprisingly beating them 2–1 thanks to goals from Spetim Muzliukaj and Ouadie Barini.
In addition to its football side SGV has departments for accordion, basketball, gymnastics, Kung Fu, swimming, theatre, and volleyball.
