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 but lasted for only one season there. It made a return to this league in 2015 after a Landesliga championship.

History

DJK Don Bosco Bamberg was formed in 1950 by local catholic priest Richard Feuerlein. Its primary focus was to be towards providing sporting opportunities for the local youth, inspired by the work of Don Bosco who engaged in work with impoverished youth. [1] [2]

For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football. The team rose as far as the Bezirksliga Oberfranken-West in 1996, but was soon relegated. Promoted in 2000 and relegated from this league again in 2002 it once more returned in 2006. After two more Bezirksliga seasons the club won the league in 2008 and earned promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken. [3] The club spent two seasons there before earning another promotion, now to the Landesliga. [4]

The club played for two seasons in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord, until the league was disbanded in 2012. Don Bosco came seventh in its first season there but finished only twelfth in its second year. Through the promotion round, however, the club managed to qualify for the new northern division of the Bayernliga. [5]

DJK Don Bosco lasted for only one season in the Bayernliga before being relegated again, now to the Landesliga Bayern-Nordwest, where it plays today. [6] [7] The club broke a Landesliga record when it won all of its first twelve games in the league at the start of the 2014–15 season, [8] and eventually won the league and earned promotion back to the Bayernliga.
