Encyclopedia
TSG Thannhausen is a German association football club
located in Thannhausen
, Bavaria.

in a first round cup match, losing 3–0. Their only previous appearance in the German Cup was a 6–0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen
in the first round in 1975.
For most of its history, the club existed in the lower levels of the Schwaben league system, its only bright moments being back-to-back Schwaben Cup wins in 1974 and 1975. In 1965 and 1971, the club archived promotion from the A-Klasse to the Bezirksliga, from 1971 onwards the club always stayed in the Bezirksliga or higher. In 1984 and 1985, the club came close to promotion to the Landesliga, both years losing the promotion deciders.
The club made a single season appearance in the Landesliga Bayern-Süd
(V) in 1990–91 before returning to fifth tier play in 2001, being relegated to the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben
. The next decade saw the club moving between Bezirksoberliga and Bezirksliga, before regaining its Landesliga status in 2001, for two more seasons, before being relegated again. The club bounced right back however, winning its third promotion to the Landesliga in 2004. After a second place Landesliga result in 2007 Thannhausen advanced to the Oberliga Bayern
(IV) for the first time, winning the promotion round
, becoming the 99th team to play in this league since 1963. A series of good results in spring 2008 put TSG in contention for promotion to the Regionalliga Süd
, the excellent seventh place finish at the end of season was however not quite good enough to archive this. After two good seasons in the league, 2009-10 proved unsuccessful, with the team finishing 18th and being relegated back to the Landesliga.
In addition to its football side, the current day sports club boasts over 1,100 members with departments for athletics
, gymnastics, table tennis, volleyball, and winter sports.
