History

The Holzgerlingen Twister entered league football in 1998, joining the tier five Verbandsliga. After a championship in a season without defeat Holzgerlingen moved up to the Oberliga where it played for the next six seasons until 2004. A runners-up finish took the club up to the Regionalliga Mitte but it was relegated back to the Oberliga after just two seasons.[1]

Two Oberliga seasons followed in which the second one produced another league championship and a return to the Regionalliga for 2009. The club finished runners-up in the league in 2009 and, through an aggregate victory over the Kirchdorf Wildcats in the promotion round, moved up to the German Football League 2 for the first time. Holzgerlingen played at the second tier of the German league system for the next three seasons with a third place in 2011 as its best result. The season after the club was however relegated back to the Regionalliga.[1]

The 2013 season saw the team come second in the Regionalliga again and once more enter the promotion round to the GFL 2. Facing the Regionalliga Süd champions Ingolstadt Dukes the club drew six-all in the first leg before overcoming Ingolstadt 24–23 in the return leg and thereby earning another promotion. Back in the GFL 2 it finished fifth in 2014 and sixth in 2015, on both occasions avoiding the relegation ranks. At the end of the 2015 season however the club opted to withdraw back to the Regionalliga for 2016.[1][2]
