Promotion came in 1983, when Waldhof won the 2. Bundesliga under Klaus Schlappner and went up to the top flight for the first time. They stayed seven seasons, until relegation in 1990.

In 2003 the club lost its Regionalliga licence over its finances and dropped to the Oberliga, the fifth tier. Regionalliga Südwest titles in 2016 and 2019, and with the second of them a return to the 3. Liga, where the club has played since.

Before any of that there was a final. Waldhof reached the 1939 Tschammerpokal decider and lost it 0:2 to 1. FC Nürnberg in Berlin on 28 April 1940, the match played nearly a year after the competition it belonged to.

The club was put together on 11 April 1907 in the guest house Zum Tannenbaum by 42 young men from the Waldhof works district. A football group called Ramelia had run there since 1905.

The Carl-Benz-Stadion standing on it now opened on 25 February 1994 and was rebuilt in 2019 to meet 3. Liga requirements.
