[edit] History
The club was founded on November 13, 1930 and was made up largely of employees from the local chemical factory Wacker Chemie, established in 1914, which still sponsors the club today. They won the East Bavarian championship just three years later in 1933, but then afterwards toiled in anonymity in the local lower level leagues until 1993 when they won the Landesliga Bayern-Süd (V) title, followed by the Oberliga Bayern championship two years later, which advanced the club to the Regionalliga Süd (III). In 2002-03, the team played their way into the Second Bundesliga where they competed until being relegated to the Regionalliga Süd at the end of the 2006-07 season.
The club managed to finish seventh in the Regionalliga in 2007-08 which qualified it for the new 3rd Liga.
[edit] Reserve team
The Wacker Burghausen II team played in the Bayernliga from 2005 to 2007, making Burghausen one of the few clubs to have both first and second team play in this league level. The reserve team finished 6th in the Landesliga Süd in the 2007-08 season and will remain in this league for the coming season.
