opened in 1970. From there, the club entered its most successful era, reaching the final of the Schwaben Cup for the first time, where FC Augsburg proved to good, winning 3–1. In the following years, the club finished runners-up in the Bezirksliga on two occasions, 1973 and 1976. On the wave of this success, SVT decided to build a 400-seater grand stand in 1976. In June 1979, the club reached the cup final for a second time, losing 3–5 to BSK Neugablonz but qualifying for the German Cup in the process. The side had to travel to fellow amateur side Bonner SC, where it lost 4–0. At the end of the 1979–80 season, the side stood at the top of the Bezirksliga table and earned promotion to the Landesliga, the club's greatest league success. Salamander Türkheim's Landesliga experience was restricted to just one season. Just five wins in 34 games was not enough for survival and the club came 16th out of 18 teams and was promptly relegated, starting the decline of the side. Back in the Bezirksliga, Salamander suffered another relegation, returning to the A-Klasse. The club briefly returned to the Bezirksliga in 1988, but could not establish itself and was relegated after two seasons again. A lack of quality players coming through from the club's own youth department and financial expanses caused, once again, by waterlogged pitches and the need for a drainage system have prevented the club from reaching former heights. After a number of years in the Kreisklasse, the club won its league in 2009 and earned promotion back to the Kreisliga, the former A-Klasse.
