The club was formed on 15 February 1995 through the union of the 1. FC 08 Walldorf and the football department of SG Walldorf Astoria 02. The new club advanced to the
Verbandsliga Nordbaden (V) in 2001. Winning the Verbandsliga in 2007, the club was promoted to the
Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. Like
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim the club is supported by
Dietmar Hopp, the founder of software maker
SAP. Hopp initiated negotiations to merge FC Astoria Walldorf, TSG Hoffenheim, and
SV Sandhausen to create FC Heidelberg 06 with the long-term objective of reaching the
Bundesliga, Germany's first division league. The talks were abandoned in 2005 due to the resistance of the latter two clubs, and the failure to agree on whether the new side's stadium should be located in
Heidelberg or
Eppelheim. A
North Baden Cup win in 2013–14 earned the club the right to enter the first round of the
2014–15 DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, for the first time. In the same season the club also won the Oberliga title and earned promotion to the tier four
Regionalliga Südwest for the first time. ==Honours==
