The SG Post/Süd Regensburg was a German association football club from the city of Regensburg, Bavaria. The club is still active in a large number of sports, having twenty-two separate departments,[1] but no longer fields a football side since that department left to merge with Jahn Regensburg in 2002.

History

Formed in 1928, the club made its first notable appearance on the German football scene when it qualified for the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) competition in 1981, then under the name Post SV Regensburg as a fifth division Bezirksliga side. Away at Tennis Borussia Berlin, the team left a good impression, losing to the Oberliga Berlin (III) club 4–3 in Berlin. That same season, 1981–82, the club won promotion to the tier-four Landesliga Bayern-Mitte as well.[2]

It played only a Landesliga single season, but was back two years later, for an eleven-year stint from 1985 to 1996. As an additional attraction, the league often included local powerhouse Jahn Regensburg which had fallen on hard times. In 1988, the club merged with TSG Süd Regensburg to form the SG Post/Süd Regensburg.[3]

After a number of seasons spent mid-table, the club began to improve in 1993 and earned promotion to the Oberliga Bayern in 1996 after winning a Landesliga title. It managed to stay at this level for three seasons, a third place in 1997–98 being the absolute highlight. In the 1997–98 season, former German international Dieter Eckstein played for the club.[4] The team also made another appearance in the German Cup in 1998. Twice in this era, the club was coached by Karsten Wettberg, one of the most successful coaches in Bavarian amateur football, having six Bavarian championships in his name.[5]

The season after, it was relegated from the Oberliga but managed to break the fall and remain a good Landesliga side. In 2002, the club earned promotion to the Oberliga once more, but refused the move, instead merging its football department with Jahn Regensburg and becoming that club's reserve side, playing in the Oberliga.[6] Parent club SG Post/Süd still exists, but no longer has a football department.
