VfR Bürstadt

This club from a small town in southern Hessen has managed to play at the fringes of professional soccer for quite some time.

The club was founded in 1910 under the name SC 1910 Bürstadt and changed it's name to VfR Bürstadt in 1919. The pre-WWII years didn't bring much success, although on a couple of occasions they came close to promotion to the Gauliga. After a short period of being banned, the club was restarted after the war.

In 1973 the main sponsor was added, and the club incorporated that in it's new name, VfR Oli Bürstadt, which lasted through 1983. (When OLI went bankrupt.)

Bürstadt caused a sensation as the smallest 2nd division club, as they made short appearances in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

After finishing last in the Hessenliga in 2002, the club voluntarily relegated itself down to the 7th division Bezirksliga instead of the 5th division Landesliga.
