The TSV Aubstadt is a German association football club from the town of Aubstadt, Bavaria.
The club's greatest success came in 2012 when it qualified for the new northern division of the expanded Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system. In 2014 the club also came close to Regionalliga Bayern promotion when it finished second in the Bayernlig Nord but failed in the promotion round.
History
For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football. In post-Second World War football Aubstadt played in the local C-Klasse, the lowest division of the Bavarian football league system. It won promotion to the B-Klasse in 1961 and on to the A-Klasse four years later in 1965. In the 1980s and early 1990s the club won promotion to the Bezirksliga from the A-Klasse twice but was relegated again each time. In 1993 it permanently left local football when it won promotion to the Bezirksliga again which was followed by a title in this league in 1994.[1]
The later won promotion to the tier five Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken, then the highest football league in Lower Franconia, in 1994. It spent two seasons at this level, coming 13th in its first year there but winning the league the year after and earning promotion to the Landesliga Bayern-Nord.[2] Three seasons in the Landesliga followed in which the club never finished better than 13th and was relegated again in 1999.[3]
A runners-up finish back in the Bezirksoberliga in 1999–2000 took TSV straight back up to the Landesliga but again the club could never break into the upper half of the table and was relegated again after four seasons.[2][3]
The club now spent the next four seasons in the Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken where it finished as low as twelfth in 2006 but won the league for a second time in 2008.[2] TSV Aubstadt's third stint in the Landesliga threatened to become as unsuccessful as the first two with a 9th, 15th and 13th-place finish in the following seasons. The leagues last-ever season, 2011–12 however was also the clubs best, finishing runners-up and qualifying for the new northern division of the Bayernliga.[3]
In the Bayernliga the club came eighth in its first season there but finished runners-up in 2013–14. Having received approval for a Regionalliga Bayern licence the team took part in the promotion round but failed in the first of two rounds, losing 7–3 on aggregate to 1. FC Schweinfurt 05.[4]
