History
The club was founded on 12 June,
1949 and first advanced out of local competition to regional play in the Landesliga in1978 , followed by a move up to fourth tier play in theVerbandsliga Südbaden in1981 . As vice-champions there in1987 the team rose to theOberliga Baden-Württemberg (IV) but were immediately relegated after an 18th place result. "Linx" remained a competitive side in the Verbandsliga Südbaden (V) through the late 80s and into the early 90s, earning a number of top three finishes until finally breaking through again to the Oberliga in1993 where they would play the next four seasons until being sent down in1997 . During this period the club made its onlyDFB Pokal (German Cup) appearance after qualifying for the tournament by way of a1994 regional cup win. "Linx" was put out in the first round by Bundesliga side "Schalke 04 " (1:2).The club endured several frustrating seasons through the late 90s and on into the new millennium with a number of second place finishes until once more capturing the Verbandbsliga Südbaden (V) title in
2003 . "SV Linx" has since become an elevator side, moving frequently up and down between fourth and fifth tier play. Their most recent Verbandsliga championship has returned them to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (IV) for the2007 -08 season where a last place finish send them straight down again.Honours
