The SpVgg Ludwigsburg is a German association football club from the city of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg. ==History== The club was formed in 1907 under the name of 1. FC Ludwigsburger Kickers.〔(History of the SpVgg Ludwigsburg ) SpVgg Ludwigsburg website, , accessed: 17 October 2008〕 In August 1907, the club then played its first game, a 0–2 loss to FC Vorwärts Stuttgart-Ostheim. In 1909, the club entered the local ''C-Klasse'', beginning its area of competitive football. The First World War took a heavy toll on the relatively new club, of its 100 members, 35 did not return from the war. On 17 February 1919, the club reformed itself after being dormant throughout the war and adopted a new name, VfB Ludwigsburg. The new name was meant as a sign to show that the club had evolved from a football-only to a multi-sport association. By 1921, the ''VfB'' counted 500 members but internal strife lead to some the footballers going their own way that year, forming the RSV Ludwigsburg. ''VfB'' and ''RSV'' at times competed on the same level, resulting in interesting derbies. Both clubs reached as far as the local second division, the ''Kreisliga''. In 1938, the two clubs finally came together again, merging and forming the current SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg. the aim of the new club was to gain entry to the ''Gauliga Württemberg'', then the highest level of play in the state. ''SpVgg'' also became the owner of the Ludwig-Jahn-Stadion, the second-largest stadium in Württemberg at the time. Despite all this, the club did not achieve promotion to the ''Gauliga'' until 1944, when playing football was already almost impossible due to the worsening war situation. The 1944–45 season barely got under way before it had to be cancelled and the ''SpVgg'' managed to play only four games. After the end of the Second World War, the US occupation authorities did not permit the formation of more than one club in Ludwigsburg at the time, therefore, all clubs merged temporarily into the SKV Ludwigsburg. In January 1947, the ''SpVgg'' reformed and got approval from the authorities a month later. The early post-war years were difficult for the club, its old ground was for a time occupied by the US Army and unavailable. To entice the TSV 1860 Munich to play a friendly in town in 1947 for example, the ''SpVgg'' had to pay the other club 120 kg of fruit as money was virtually worthless at this time. On the playing field, the ''SpVgg'' languished in the second-highest league in Württemberg, the tier-four ''Bezirksklasse''. In 1955, it barely escaped relegation from there but then managed to improve its fortunes and in 1958, it earned promotion to the ''Amateurliga Württemberg'' (III). In this league, the club archived mid-table finishes in its first couple of seasons. In 1962, it struggled against relegation, but the season after, 1962–63, it finished runners-up to the VfB Stuttgart Amateure in what was now the ''Amateurliga Nordwürttemberg''. After this short run of success, the team deteriorated, falling back to the end of the table. After a narrow escape in 1965, the club was relegated to the ''2nd Amateurliga'' in 1966. A championship in this league in 1970 earned the club the right to return to the third division. Back at this level, the ''SpVgg'' once more managed to finish runners-up to the second team of the VfB Stuttgart. Because reserve teams were ineligible for promotion to the ''Regionalliga'', Ludwigsburg earned the right to take part in the promotion round. In this round, the club managed to beat Waldhof Mannheim and earn promotion to the second division ''Regionalliga Süd''. It was the clubs first entry into professional football. It lasted for two seasons in the ''Regionalliga'', finishing 15th in the first year and 16th in the second and with this being relegated back to the ''Amateurliga''. Back in this league, Ludwigsburg performed strongly, finishing third, second and first in the next three seasons. It also won its first Württemberg Cup in 1974. This allowed the club to play in the DFB Cup 1974-75, where it lost to 1. FC Mülheim in the first round replay.〔(SpVgg Ludwigsburg .:. Die Bilanz gegen 1. FC Mülheim ) Weltfussball.de , accessed: 18 October 2008〕 The second place in 1975 also earned the club entry into the German amateur football championship, where it competed with very little success. In 1975–76, the club once more competed in the German Cup, losing 0–6 to Borussia Dortmund at home in the first round.〔(SpVgg Ludwigsburg .:. Die Bilanz gegen Borussia Dortmund ) Weltfussball.de , accessed: 18 October 2008〕 In 1976–77, the club had a bad season but recovered to qualify for the new ''Oberliga Baden-Württemberg'' in 1978, finishing fifth, the last possible spot to do so. After a slow start in the new league and two difficult seasons, the club managed a second place finish in 1982. Entering the German amateur championship for a second time, it narrowly lost to SV Werder Bremen Amateure in the semi-finals in extra time. After this, the club didn't play a big role in the league, eventually finding itself relegated in 1988, to the ''Verbandsliga Württemberg'' (IV). It staged a quick recovery in this league and by winning it returned to the ''Oberliga'' on first attempt. In 1991, it once more came second in this league and went all the way to the final of the amateur championship. Despite having a home game, ''SpVgg'' managed to lose 1–2 to Werder Bremen Amateure once more. Reaching the final meant however the club was qualified for next seasons German Cup, where it lost 1–6 to Eintracht Frankfurt at home in the second round,〔(SpVgg Ludwigsburg .:. Die Bilanz gegen Eintracht Frankfurt ) Weltfussball.de , accessed: 18 October 2008〕 having beaten Eintracht Braunschweig 3–2 in the first round.〔(SpVgg Ludwigsburg .:. Die Bilanz gegen Eintracht Braunschweig ) Weltfussball.de , accessed: 18 October 2008〕 With the reforming of the ''Regionalliga Süd'', the club managed to qualify for this league, too in 1994. The ''SpVgg'' lasted three seasons in this league, a seventh place in 1995–96 being the highlight. However, the season after it was relegated back to the ''Oberliga''. After eight seasons with mixed results, the club once more found itself relegated to the ''Verbandsliga'' in 2005. Despite ambitions to return to the ''Oberliga'', more than upper-table finishes could not be archived in this league and the ''SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg'' eventually found itself relegated from the ''Verbandsliga'' in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SpVgg Ludwigsburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
