History

Wacker Burghausen was founded on 13 November 1930 and was made up largely of employees from the local chemical factory Wacker Chemie, which was established in 1914, and still sponsors Wacker Burghausen today. The footballers 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 (IV) championship two years later, which advanced Wacker Burghausen to the Regionalliga (football) (III). In 2002-03, Wacker Burghausen played its way into the 2nd Bundesliga (football) where they competed until being relegated at the end of the 2006-07 campaign.

Wacker earned a seventh place finish in the Regionalliga in 2007-08, which qualifies Wacker Burghausen for the new 3rd Liga next season. It finished the 2008-09 season in 18th place, on a relegation rank but was saved from having to step down to the Regionalliga by Kickers Emden withdrawing from the league.
