 The side made an immediate return to the Bayernliga from the 2nd Amateurliga in 1956, spending another seven seasons at this level.A fifth place in its first season back was the club's best result in this period and it generally out of relegation trouble.In 1963, with the establishment of the Bundesliga, the Bayernliga was reduced to a single division once more and "Schwabach" missed the cut in eleventh place to enter the new league.
