The SV Salamander Türkheim is a German association football club from the town of Türkheim, Bavaria. The club spent almost its entire history as an amateur side in the leagues of the Schwaben football league system. Salamander's most notable moment came in 1979 when, after having won the Schwaben Cup and qualified for the first round of the German Cup, the team met Bonner SC and lost 4–0 in Bonn. In the same season, the side earned promotion to the tier-four Landesliga Bayern-Süd but lasted for only one season at this level and has remained within the leagues of Schwaben ever since. History SV Türkheim was formed in 1920, after the First World War, and played its first game of football in August that year. After early difficulties to obtain a permanent home ground, the side merged with TV 1891 Türkheim in 1921, but the union was short-lived, with the two clubs splitting again in January 1923. In the same year, SVT entered league football in the form of the local C-Klasse, the lowest division in the region. In the mid-1920s, the club's fortunes improved, making their third home ground in five years their temporary home and earning two promotions, to the B-Klasse in 1926 and the A-Klasse in 1929. Despite the success, the club was financially troubled but finally managed to find support in the form of the local Salamander shoe factory. For this reason, the club adopted the new name SV Salamander Türkheim in September 1930. The club moved home grounds again in 1931, for the fourth time, now to the Römerschanze, but found itself suddenly disbanded in early 1933 when the Nazis took power and confiscated the club's financial assets and playing materials. The club's demise was however short-lived, being reinstated in April 1933. SVT won the local A-Klasse in 1937 and took out the local Memmingen area cup in the following year. With the outbreak of the Second World War, football became difficult and soon the club had to cease competing altogether. After the war, the club remained in the A-Klasse until 1962, when it was finally relegated. It made a return to this level in 1964 and went even better in 1967, when promotion to the tier-five Bezirksliga Schwaben-Süd was achieved. Troubled by waterlogged pitches caused by the proximity of the Wertach, the club finally moved grounds once more, now to the Wertachstadion, which was
