SGV Freiberg is a German football club from the city of Freiberg am Neckar, Baden-Württemberg.

History

The club was formed out of the 1973 union of "SGV Heutingsheim" and "TSV Beihingen". The roots of the Heutingsheim club go back to the establishment of "FC Spartania Heutingsheim" on January 28, 1913. This club fused briefly with "SV Beihingen" in 1919 to form "FV Beihingen-Heutingsheim" before the two went their separate ways again within a year. "Spartania" then formed a new partnership with "TV Heutingsheim" and "RFV Wanderlust Heutingsheim" in 1921 to create "SV Heutingsheim". "RFV" left the association in 1926, while "ASV TV Heutingsheim" joined in 1933. Following World War II occupying Allied authorities banned all organizations in Germany, including sports and football clubs. The sports club was re-established in 1945 as "SGV Heutingsheim".

"TSV Beihingen" made a fleeting appearance in the Amateurliga Württemberg (IV) in 1961-62 before the merger that formed "SGV". The combined side was in and out of the Amateurliga Württemberg (V) through the course of the 90s. Since winning promotion to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (IV) on the strength of a Verbandsliga Württemberg (V) title in 2001 the football team has earned lower table results, but improved to a 7th place finish this past season.

"SGV" plays its home matches at the Wasenstadion which has a capacity of 4,000 (800 seats).

In addition to its football side "SGV" has departments for accordion, basketball, gymnastics, Kung Fu, swimming, theatre, and volleyball.
