Three years later German football was restructured under the Third Reich into sixteen top flight Gauligen.

The team did not initially qualify to play at that level, but won promotion to the Gauliga Niederrhein for single season appearances in 1934 and 1943.

SV played in the Amateurliga Niederrhein (III) in the late 1940s and captured divisional titles in 1953, 1955, 1963, and 1964.

A league championship in the Landesliga in 2015–16 took the club back up to the Oberliga, which they won in 2019 to gain promotion to the Regionalliga West.

The stadium also serves as the home venue of women's Bundesliga side FCR 2001 Duisburg.
