[1] The origins of SSV go back to the 1906 founding of Sport Club Germania Rott.

The club was renamed Sportgemeinde Blau-Gelb Wuppertal in 1929 before again taking up the name SSVg Barmen in 1939.

SSV played a single season in the postwar Bezirksliga Berg-Mark (II) in 1946–47.

The Barmen side disappeared into the newly formed Allgemeiner Sport-Verein Wuppertal on 11 June 1970.

From 1920 to 1945, SSV played in Schützenstaße, before moving to Am Gelben Sprung – which also served as the home ground for the newly formed ASV in its inaugural 1970–71 season.
