FSV Salmrohr is a German association football club in the village of Salmrohr, Rhineland-Palatinate. Founded in 1921, the small club has limited resources and has relied largely on local talent, but still managed two decades of play in the tier III Amateur Oberliga Südwest and Regionalliga West/Südwest and earned a national amateur title in 1990.

History

In 1925, they became part of the Deutschen Jugendkraft, a Catholic-sponsored national league, playing as DJK Salmrohr/Dörbach. The modern-day side was formed following World War II in 1946 as SV Salmrohr. It was re-named Fussball Club Salmrohr 1946 the following year and took on the name Fußballsportverein Salmrohr/Dörbach in 1957.[1]

Through the 1980s and 1990s, FSV was as an upper table side in third division play and earned a single season promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in the 1986–87 following their qualification round win over SSV Ulm 1846. In 1990, they beat Rheydter SV 2:0 to claim the national amateur championship. The team again qualified for promotion play following their 1992 Oberliga title, but were beaten by Wuppertaler SV. Between 1992-96, Salmrohr captured five consecutive regional cup titles, however, in the late-1990s the club's performances began to tail off and they slipped to lower level competition.[2]

An attempt to give Eintracht Trier a boost into the 2.Bundesliga in 1997 through a partial union that saw a number of Salmrohr's footballers go to Trier failed. The next year the club only escaped relegation because a pair of teams that finished ahead of them were denied licenses due to their financial problems. By the turn of the millennium Salmrohr was playing in the Oberliga Südwest as a fourth division side. Most recently the team has played in the Verbandsliga Rheinland which became a sixth tier circuit with the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008.
