History
Teutonia Watzenborn-Steinberg was formed on 30 October 1927. For much of its history the club has been playing in local amateur leagues.[1]
From the mid-2000s the club experienced a rise through the league system, reaching the tier five Landesliga Hessen-Mitte in 2006 after a runners-up finish in the Bezirksoberliga Gießen/Marburg. Teutonia played at this level for two seasons before being relegated again in 2008. It returned to what had now been renamed to Gruppenliga Gießen/Marburg, where it played for the next three seasons. A league championship in 2011 took it back up to the Verbandsliga Hessen-Mitte, the former Landesliga. It played at Verbandsliga level for the next four seasons before winning the league in 2015 and earning promotion to the Hessenliga for the first time.[2][3] Winning the league in 2015–16 Teutonia earned another promotion, now to the Regionalliga Südwest.
