SpVgg Jahn Forchheim

The SpVgg Jahn Forchheim is a German from the town of Forchheim, Bavaria. Forchheim is located in Upper Franconia but the club competes in the football leagues of neighbouring Middle Franconia. Apart from football, the club also offers other sports like tennis, badminton and volleyball.
The club's greatest success came in 1994, when it earned promotion to the tier-four Fußball-Bayernliga for the first time. After six seasons at this level in which the side always finished in the top half of the table, "Jahn" decided to voluntarily withdraw from the league in 2000.
History.
The origins of the club date back to 1904, when TV Jahn Forchheim was formed. In 1924, Sportvereinigung Forchheim was established. Both clubs merged in 1947 to form the current club.
"Jahn" earned promotion to the tier-four Landesliga Bayern-Mitte in 1964, a league formed the previous year, but lasted for only one season before dropping down to the Bezirksliga again. In 1971, the club returned to the Landesliga, a league it would spend 25 out of a possible 49 seasons in from 1963 to 2012. "Jahn" spend seven consecutive seasons in the Landesliga until dropping down again in 1978. Promoted back up again for another stint of six seasons, it dropped to the Bezirksliga for a year again in 1985–86. In this era, three fourth places were the club's best result.
From 1986, "Jahn" spend eight seasons again in the Landesliga, which culminated in a league championship in 1993–94 and promotion to the Bayernliga for the first time.
In the Bayernliga, Jahn Forchheim established itself in the upper half of the table, finishing in ninth spot in its first two seasons. In the following two, the club improved further, achieving its best result in the league in 1997–98, when it came fourth. A sixth and an eighth place followed after that until 1999–2000. At the end of this season the club was forced, for financial reasons, to withdraw the team from the Bayernliga to the Kreisliga.
The club, after this, quickly worked its way back up through the league system, winning promotion to the Bezirksliga Mittelfranken-Nord in 2002, followed by a championship in this league in 2003.
"Jahn" won promotion to the Bezirksoberliga Mittelfranken in 2003, a league it would play in for six seasons from 2003 to 2006 and, again, from 2007 to 2010.
The club made a return to the Landesliga for a season in 2006–07 but dropped down again immediately. After three seasons in the Bezirksoberliga, the club returned to the Landesliga, earning its sixth promotion to the league in 2010. At the end of the 2011–12 season the club qualified directly for the newly expanded Bayernliga after finishing eighth in the Landesliga.
The club finished second in its league in 2012–13 but declined the opportunity to play in the promotion round to the Regionalliga, passing this option on to third placed TSV Großbardorf instead. The following season Jahn finished third in the league, applying for a Regionalliga licence but being rejected. After another third place in 2014–15 the club finished 16th the following season, lost to Würzburger Kickers II in the relegation play-off and dropped down to the Landesliga.
