History
Sportfreunde Siegen won local titles in the 1900s and went on to their greatest successes in the 1920s when they won several South German league titles. In spite of their good results the side did not qualify for first division play after the re-organization of German football into sixteen Gauligen under the Third Reich in 1933.
The club's next appearance in the upper levels of German football was in the 2.Oberliga West (II) in 1961. After the formation of the Bundesliga (football) in 1963
Siegen played in the second division Regionalliga West for a single season before slipping to the third tier Amateurliga Westfalen. In the mid-80's Sportfreunde Siegen fell even further to the Verbandsliga Westfalen-SW (IV) and spent nine of the next eleven seasons at that level.
Siegen recovered and returned to third division football in 1997. After two consecutive 16th place finishes - including a brush with relegation in 2003 which they avoided only because
SV Waldhof Mannheim and
SSV Reutlingen were denied licenses due to their financial weakness - Sportfreunde Siegen managed to claw its way to the 2nd Bundesliga (football) on the strength of a surprising second place result in 2006. However finishing 18th they faced relegation right away. Despite an 11th place in the Regionalliga Süd they finished relegation again due to financial issues. In the 2008-09 season they will in the fifth division.
