Falke Markt Schwaben is a German association football club from the city of Markt Schwaben, Bavaria. Falke is the German word for falcon, with the animal being depicted in the Coats of arms of Markt Schwaben.
History
The club was formed in 1930 through the merger of predecessor sides Ballspiel-Club Markt Schwaben and Deutsche Jugendkraft Markt Schwaben. In the aftermath of World War II the club briefly disappeared when occupying Allied authorities banned organizations across the country, including sports and football clubs, as part of the process of denazification, before being reestablished on 4 November 1945.[1] In 1967, team won its first title and gained promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd where they played for seven seasons before being sent down.
Falke reappeared in Landesliga (V) play in 2001, having spent the previous nine seasons in the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern, and immediately captured the championship there. They moved up to the Oberliga Bayern (IV) where they played two seasons.
After a 17th place Landesliga (VI) finish in 2011, the team slipped to play in the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern (VII). At the end of the 2011-12 season the club qualified directly for the newly expanded Landesliga after finishing fourth in the Bezirksoberliga.[2]
