Амберг

Following World War II on 9 November 1945 the club merged with Turnverein 1861 Amberg to form Turn- und Spielverein Amberg. The union was short-lived and the two clubs went their separate ways on 15 July 1949 with the former VfL reorganizing as 1. FC Amberg. The club won the local Oberpfalz championship in 1948 and originally qualified for the new Amateurliga, but, because it used an ineligible player, it was denied promotion.

The Amberger side first came to note in the 1951–52 season, capturing the Amateurliga Bayern (III) title, but failing in their attempt to advance through a promotion playoff to the 2. Oberliga Süd. The club lost the 1956 title to ESV Ingolstadt, losing a decider 1–0. A sixteenth-place finish in 1963 spelled the end to their twelve-year membership to the league, and they did not appear in third-tier play again for more than two decades until they returned to the Amateurliga in 1975, where they would compete until sent down in 1982, a second place in 1979 being their best finish.

They again made their way back in 1986 to what in 1978 had become the Amateuroberliga Bayern (III) and played there as a middling side until 1991. The club made its only appearance in DFB-Pokal (German Cup) in the opening round of the 1987 tournament, going out 0–7 to Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach. In 1994–95 Amberg made its last appearance in upper tier regional play, in the Oberliga Bayern (IV). The club folded after this, being DM1.7 million in debt.

A new club was formed within the TV Amberg, the FC Amberg. This new club started to make a recovery from the lower reaches of Bavarian amateur football in the early 2000s, reaching the level below the Oberliga, the Landesliga, in 2003 once more. For a number of years Amberg played as a mid-table side in the Landesliga Bayern Mitte (VI) before a loss in the relegation round in 2011 caused the club to drop back to the Bezirksoberliga.

Changes in the league system in 2012 meant that the club, after a championship in the Bezirksoberliga, qualified for the promotion round to the newly expanded Bayernliga and managed to return to this level after victories over 1. FC Bad Kötzting and Dergah Spor Nürnberg. Amberg finished fourth in the Bayernliga in each of its first two seasons back. In the 2014–15 season the club finished runners-up and thereby qualified for the promotion round to the Regionalliga Bayern where it won promotion after two victories over VfR Garching. Amberg came second-last in the Regionalliga in 2015–16 and was relegated again.
