History
An informal gymnastics group emerged in Schermbeck in the summer of 1912 and, with the support of local club "Weseler Turnverein", a sports meet was held on 16 August that year to raise funds for the establishment of a new club. This led to the formation of "Schermbecker Turnverein" which claimed a membership of 62 by 1 January 1913. The club suspended its activities in mid-1917 because of
World War I , not taking up sport again until late 1919, following the end of the conflict.led to the association again suspending operations. Following the war the club was re-established as "Spielverein Schermbeck" and included football and athletics departments.
The club enjoyed some limited success in the 60s, advancing out of their local league and into district level competition. In the late 90s "Schermbeck" failed in its attempt to win promotion to the Landesliga Westfalen (VI) on three consecutive occasions, until finally advancing to the Landesliga Westfalen (VI) in 2000 and then winning promotion to the Verbandsliga Westfalen (V) the next year. Just two seasons later the club was again promoted, this time to the Oberliga Westfalen (IV). After two 13th place results, they were relegated in 2006 following a 16th place finish, but promptly returned to the Oberliga after a Verbandsliga title in 2006-07.
