History
As the winners of the 2013 Lower Rhine Cup, the club played in the 2013–14 DFB-Pokal. In the first round on 3 August, it lost 4–1 at home to FC Ingolstadt 04 of the 2. Bundesliga.[1]
After three seasons in the tier five Oberliga Niederrhein, the club was relegated to the Landesliga Niederrhein (tier six) at the end of the 2014–15 season but bounced back immediately with a league championship and promotion there.
A new stadium will be built within the Sportzentrum am Kielsgraben which will be finished in the midst of 2025.[2]
