FSV Salmrohr is a German football club in the village of Salmrohr, Rhineland-Palatinate.

History

Founded in 1921, the small club has limited resources, but still managed two decades of play in the tier III Amateur Oberliga Südwest and Regionalliga West/Südwest. Much of their time there was spent as an upper table side and included a promotion to 2nd Bundesliga in the 1986-87 season. By the mid-90's the club's performances began to tail off.

An attempt to give "Eintracht Trier" a boost into the 2.Bundesliga in 1997 through a partial union that saw a number of "Salmrohr"'s footballers go to "Trier" failed. The next year the club only escaped relegation because a pair of teams that finished ahead of them were denied licenses due to their financial problems. By the turn of the millennium "Salmrohr" was playing in the Oberliga Südwest as a fourth division side. They slipped briefly to the Verbandsliga Rheinland (V) in 2004-05 but have since returned to the Oberliga.
