History

The team was established 23 March 1912 as Verein für Bewegungsspiele Altena and was joined sometime around 1920 by the football department of Turnverein Deutsche Eiche Altena.[1] After emerging as Landesliga Westfalen (IV) champions in 1974 they were promoted to the Amateurliga Westfalen (III), Gruppe 2. The league was reorganized into a single division in 1978 becoming the Amateuroberliga Westfalen (IV). Altena earned only lower table finishes with their best result being 9th in 1978. They were relegated after a 14th-place finish in 1981 and play today in the Kreisliga A Lüdenscheid (VIII).
