[1] Josef Bauer, a local trader, was the driving force behind the new club and became its chairman, an office he held until 1933.

[2] The club's early years were spent in the local C- and B-Klasse, but, in 1931, it won promotion to the A-Klasse Bamberg for the first time.

[4] The club performed well in this new league and came second in 1977–78 but lost its greatest talent, 20-year-old Joachim Pickel in a car accident.

Finishing second on equal points with SV Hallstadt, a decider had to be played in Bamberg and SVM won 6–3 in front of 1,200 spectators.

In the decisive third game, it beat FC Eibelstadt 2–0 and earned promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Nord (IV) for the first time.

The team thereby earned the right to take part in the Oberliga promotion round, where it faced SpVgg Fürth and lost 5–3.

[5] Fürth in turn had to wait another two years to return to the Bayernliga, losing to FC Memmingen in the promotion final.

At the end of the 2011–12 season the club qualified directly for the newly expanded Bayernliga after finishing fifth in the Landesliga.
