Ammerthal

Yet, the club refused to stay down. They ended a barren spell almost immediately, winning the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte in 2016 to bounce straight back. It is a rhythm that defines them: a rapid ascent followed by a quick descent. The club has lived in this small Bavarian town since 1958, playing on the Sportgelände Pürschläger Weg. Their main rivalries are local, against neighbours like DJK Gebenbach and SV Seligenporten. Three regional league titles tell part of the story, but the most recent chapter is still being written. After a brief return to the Bayernliga, they were relegated again in 2025. The drop back into the lower tiers feels like a familiar pattern, one that has repeated since that first promotion. They have the experience of the Bayernliga, but also the memory of how quickly it can be lost.
