History

edit

SV Mehring was formed on 13 December 1921 and played, for the most part of its history as a local amateur side.[1]

Mehring won promotion to the highest league in the Rhineland, the Rheinlandliga for the first time in 2008. It played at this level for the next four seasons, gradually improving. In 2007–08 the club finished on equal points with Sportfreunde Eisbachtal on first place in the league, won the necessary decider 1–0 and earned promotion to the tier five Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar for the first time. It played in the Oberliga for two seasons before being relegated again in 2014. A runners-up finish in the Rheinlandliga in 2014–15 and success in the promotion round took the club back up to the Oberliga for 2015–16.[2][3] Finishing 17th in the Oberliga in 2015–16 Mehring was relegated back to the Rheinlandliga once more.
