The TSV Schwabmünchen is a German association football club from the town of Schwabmünchen, Bavaria.

The club's greatest success came in 2012 when it qualified for the new southern division of the expanded Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system.

History

For most of its history the club has been a non-describt amateur side in local Bavarian football. The club first rose above local football in Bavarian Swabia in 1968 when it won the Bezirksliga Schwaben and earned promotion to the tier four Landesliga Bayern-Süd. At this level the Schwabmünchen lasted for two seasons, coming 14th and 18th before being relegated again, now to the Bezirksliga Schwaben-Süd.^[1]

The club remained undistinguished after that from 1970 to 1998, when it earned promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben.^[2] After a ninth place in 1999 a third rank in 2000 allowed the side to take part in the promotion round to the Landesliga Süd. Having been successful at that the 2000–01 season in the Landesliga saw TSV Schwabmünchen relegated straight again.^[1] The side became a jo-jo team after this, earning promotion back to the Landesliga in 2003, once again lasting for only one season and even being relegated from the Bezirksoberliga in 2005.^[1] A league title Bezirksliga in the following year took the club back up to the Bezirksoberliga and, within two seasons, back to the Landesliga.^[2] Four years at this level followed, with a third place in 2011–12, the 49th and final season for the Landesliga Süd, as its best result.^[1] The later earned the club direct promotion to the new southern division of the Bayernliga, finishing a place above the relegation ranks in its first season there. The club performed much better in its second season there, finishing eighth.
