SV Schermbeck

The footballers are part of a larger sports club that also has departments for athletics, badminton, handball, swimming, table tennis, and water polo.

The club suspended its activities in mid-1917 because of World War I, not taking up sport again until late 1919, following the end of the conflict.

A football department was soon formed within the club, however by the early 30s the popularity of the sport in the Schermbeck area was challenged by a local enthusiasm for fistball.

The subsequent collapse of the club's management and the outbreak of World War II led to the association again suspending operations.

Relegated again in 2013 the club played in the tier six Westfalenliga for two seasons where a runners-up finish in 2015 qualified it for the promotion round to the Oberliga.
