FSV Salmrohr is aGerman association football club in the village ofSalmrohr, Rhineland-Palatinate. Founded in 1921, the small club has limited resources and has relied largely on local talent, but still managed two decades of play in the tier IIIAmateur Oberliga Südwest andRegionalliga West/Südwest and earned anational amateur title in 1990.
In 1925, they became part of theDeutschen Jugendkraft, a Catholic-sponsored national league, playing asDJK Salmrohr/Dörbach. The modern-day side was formed followingWorld War II in 1946 asSV Salmrohr. It was renamedFussball Club Salmrohr 1946 the following year and took on the nameFußballsportverein Salmrohr/Dörbach in 1957.[2]
Through the 1980s and 1990s,FSV was as an upper table side in third division play and earned a single season promotion to the2. Bundesliga in the 1986–87 following their qualification round win overSSV Ulm 1846. In 1990, they beatRheydter SV 2:0 to claim the national amateur championship. The team again qualified for promotion play following their 1992 Oberliga title, but were beaten byWuppertaler SV. Between 1992 and 1996,Salmrohr captured five consecutive regional cup titles, however, in the late-1990s the club's performances began to tail off and they slipped to lower-level competition.[3]
An attempt to giveEintracht Trier a boost into the 2.Bundesliga in 1997 through a partial union that saw a number ofSalmrohr's footballers go toTrier failed. The next year the club only escaped relegation because a pair of teams that finished ahead of them were denied licenses due to their financial problems. By the turn of the millenniumSalmrohr was playing in the Oberliga Südwest as a fourth division side.
Most recently the team drifted between the Oberliga Südwest and theRheinlandliga, winning another promotion in 2011 and finishing sixth in the Oberliga in 2012. From 2012–13 the Oberliga Südwest was renamed Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar, withSalmrohr continuing in this league. It came second in the league in 2013 and 2014 and narrowly missed out on promotion when it lost toFC Nöttingen in the newly introduced promotion round of the Oberliga runners-up.
