SC Borussia Lindenthal-Hohenlind is a German football club based in the Lindenthal-Hohenlind district of Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia.

History

The club was founded in 1928 as "SC Borussia Hohenlind" around an interest in handball and football. The original sports club had only a short five-year existence before it was dissolved in 1933. A new group resurrected the old name in 1959 and the club underwent some form of re-organization into a larger association in 1962. In 1986, the club changed its name to "SC Borussia Lindenthal-Hohenlind" to acknowledge growing links to a neighbouring district.

The history of the club consists largely of play in the local Kreisklasse leagues, a steady focus on its youth sides, and the promotion of sports oppourtunities for the handicapped. The football side is strictly local amateur in character with the number one men's side currently playing in the Landesliga Mittelrhein, Staffel 1. In 2008 not only the first and third mens team but also the A-, B- and C-Youth teams were all promoted to the next division.
