SSV Jahn Regensburg is a Germany football (soccer) List of football clubs in Germany based in Regensburg, Bavaria. The team was part of a larger sports club founded in 1889 as
Turnerbund Jahn Regensburg which took its name from Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, whose ideas of gymnastics greatly influenced German sport in the 19th century. The football department was created in 1907. The footballers and swimmers left their parent club in 1924 to form
Sportbund Jahn Regensburg.
History
A merger with
Sportverein 1889 Regensburg in 1934 to form
Vereinsname Sport- und Schwimmverein Jahn Regensburg strengthened the football side somewhat, but mostly produced only indifferent results, from 1927 in the Bezirksliga Bayern, coming second as its best result in 1930. In the Gauliga Bayern, one of sixteen top flight divisions formed in the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich in 1933,
Jahn lasted for only two seasons before being relegated in 1935. It returned in 1937 and their best performances were consecutive third place finishes in 1938 and 1939 after which they languished as an uncompetitive mid-to-lower table side.
SSV Jahn Regensburg spent most of the period between the end of World War II and the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963 as an "yo-yo" team bouncing up and down between the Oberliga Süd (1945-63) and the 2nd Oberliga Süd.
Regensburg played the early 60s in the third division before making their way back to the Regionalliga Süd (1963-74) (II). By the mid-70s SSV Jahn Regensburg began to falter and by the end of the decade had become a third and fourth division side, even playing three years in the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte (V) in the late 90s.
In 2000 the football team left to become an independent club and were joined by players from
SG Post/Süd Regensburg in 2002.
Regensburg has recovered to some degree and has played in the Regionalliga Süd (III) since the turn of the millennium with a single season in the 2nd Bundesliga (football) in 2003-04. However, SSV Jahn Regensburg faced financial difficulties and narrowly avoided bankruptcy in 2005. After sinking to the fourth division Oberliga Bayern in 2005-06 Jahn achieved first place in the following season and were promoted again to the Regionalliga Süd. Due to a reorganisation of the leagues, Jahn had to finish in tenth place or higher in order to stay in the third division, which is now the new 3rd Liga. Jahn struggled to do so but finished ninth in the end and gained entry to the new league.
Reserve team
The
Jahn Regensburg II (or
Jahn Regensburg Amateure) played in the
Bayernliga from 2002 to 2006, when the first teams relegation meant, they had to move down one level even so they finished eleventh this season. In the 2007-08 season, SSV Jahn Regensburg finished eight in the
Landesliga Bayern-Mitte.
The team took the place of
SG Post/Süd Regensburg in 2002, which had earned promotion to the Bayernliga in its last season.
