[1] Known under this name, the men's first team gained promotion to Amateurliga Südbaden, which was the third tier of the football league system at that time.

Apart from the 1968–69 season, which they finished in fifth place, the team played in the bottom half of the table until being relegated in 1975.

During the 1987–88 season, Sportfreunde competed against teams like Freiburger FC, VfR Mannheim, Offenburger FV, SV Sandhausen and SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg.

After the sports ground had been destroyed, they played on Waldkircher Straße for two years and on Messplatz, Schwarzwaldstraße from 1947 until 1951.
