History
For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football. The club was formed as ATSV Kleinrinderfeld in 1923 as a working men's sports club. Because of this background ATSV was outlawed by the Nazis in 1933 and it took until 1937 for a new club to be granted permission to form, the TSV Kleinrinderfeld. [1]
From 1990 onwards the club played in the Bezirksliga Unterfranken-Mitte. It changed to the western division in 1993 and earned promotion to the Bezirksoberliga for the first time. [2]
Kleinrinderfeld played for two seasons in the Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken from 1994 to 1996, finishing third in its first year but being relegated the season after. It made an immediate return to the Bezirksoberliga in 1997 and played another four seasons at this level, now with a seventh place as its best result. Relegated again in 2001 the club would not return to this league for the next seven seasons. [3]
After two seasons in the Bezirksliga Kleinrinderfeld dropped down to the Kreisliga for a season in 2003 but made an immediate return. Another four Bezirksliga seasons followed before a league title took the club back up to the Bezirksoberliga. [2] [4]
After promotion back to the Bezirksoberliga in 2008 Kleinrindefeld played the next three seasons in this league, achieving good results, culminating in a runners-up finish in 2011 and promotion to the Landesliga. [3]
The club played the 2011–12 season in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord and came seventh which was sufficient to qualify it for the new northern division of the expanded Bayernliga. [5] TSV lasted for only one season at this level, finishing last and being relegated to the Landesliga Bayern-Nordwest, where it plays today. [6] [7]
