History

The KSV was formed in 1991 through a merger of to local clubs, the FC Nordstern Rintheim, formed 1909, and the FC Waldstadt, formed in 1962. [1]

The clubs rugby department achieved promotion to the 2. Rugby-Bundesliga from the Rugby-Regionalliga in 2003, finishing fifth in the new league in its first season there.

The second season ended with relegation back to the Regionalliga and it took the club until 2009, to return to the second division. Hopelessly outclassed at this level, the club withdrew its team from the competition at the winter break, KSV therefore being automatically relegated from the league. [2] In 2010-11 KSV made a new start playing in the lowest league, the Rugby-Verbandsliga Baden-Württemberg, the fifth division, to rebuild and restructure the squad and management of the rugby department. In 2011-12 the team played in the Regionalliga Baden-Württemberg and finished in 2nd place. Since the 2012-13 season KSV plays in the 3rd Liga South/West. They finished the 2015-2016 Season in 2nd place and got repromoted to the 2. Rugby-Bundesliga, after winning the Playoff-Games against RC Unterföhring.
