History

Founded in 1903, the club had a different trajectory from other German clubs after World War II. At that time, Saar was a protectorate separate from Germany. Saarbrücken represented the region in the first edition of the European Cup, in 1955-56, and defeated Milan 4-3 in San Siro in the first leg. Back in German football, the club disputed the German Championship final in 1952 and lost to VfB Stuttgart 3-2. In 1963, it was one of the founders of the Bundesliga, but fell in the first season. In recent decades, Saarbrücken has stood out in the cups. In 2019-20, still in the fourth division, it reached the DFB-Pokal semi-final after eliminating Fortuna Düsseldorf on penalties, and lost to Bayer Leverkusen. In 2023-24, already in the 3. Liga, it eliminated Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach before falling in the semi-final against Kaiserslautern.
