The origins of
SSV go back to the 1906 founding of
Sport Club Germania Rott. That club merged with
Fußball Club Olympia Barmen to form
Barmer Spielverein 06 which joined
Sportverein 07 Carnap on 27 August 1920 to become
Sport- und Spielvereinigung Barmen. The club was renamed
Sportgemeinde Blau-Gelb Wuppertal in 1929 before again taking up the name
SSVg Barmen in 1939. During World War II,
SSV played alongside
Sportfreunde Schwarz-Weiß Wuppertal and
TuRA Wuppertal as the wartime club
Kriegsspielgemeinschaft Wuppertal-Barmen from 1943 to 1945.
SSV played a single season in the postwar Bezirksliga Berg-Mark (II) in 1946–47. The team also played two seasons in the Amateurliga Niederrhein (II) in 1947–48 and 1951–52. The Barmen side disappeared into the newly formed
Allgemeiner Sport-Verein Wuppertal on 11 June 1970. ==Stadium==
