Sport- und Schwimmverein Jahn Regensburg e. V., commonly known as SSV Jahn Regensburg, Jahn Regensburg, SSV Jahn or simply Jahn, is a German football club based in Regensburg, Bavaria.
The club plays their home games at Jahnstadion Regensburg since 2015. The club colours are white and red, the team's most common nicknames 'Rothosen' (Red Shorts) and 'Jahnelf' (Jahn Eleven). Jahn currently plays in the 2. Bundesliga the German second division, having been promoted from the 3. Liga in the 2023–24 season.
History
[edit]The club is based on a gymnastics club founded in 1886 as Turnerbund Jahn Regensburg which took its name from Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, whose ideas of gymnastics greatly influenced German sport in the 19th century. The football department was created in 1907.
The footballers left their parent club in 1924 to form Sportbund Jahn Regensburg. In 1934, they joined Sportverein 1889 Regensburg and Schwimmverein 1920 Regensburg to form SSV which has departments for athletics, boxing, futsal, gymnastics, handball, kendo and nine-pin bowling. The football department separated in 2000 as SSV Jahn Regensburg.
Despite the 1934 merger of the football section into the wider sports club, the footballing side's best finish in the Bezirksliga Bayern was a second-place finish in 1930. In the Gauliga Bayern, one of sixteen top flight divisions formed in the re-organization of German football under the Third Reich in 1933, Jahn lasted for only two seasons before being relegated in 1935. It returned in 1937 and their best performances were consecutive third-place finishes in 1938 and 1939 after which they became a less competitive mid-to-lower table side.
The club spent most of the period between the end of World War II and the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963 as a "yo-yo team" oscillating between the Oberliga Süd and the second division. Regensburg played the early 1960s in the third division before making their way back to the Regionalliga Süd (II).[citation needed] By the mid-1970s, the team's results worsened and by the end of the decade had become a team mostly playing in the third and fourth divisions, as well as playing three years in the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte, the fifth tier, in the late 1990s.
In 2000 the football team left to become an independent club and were joined by players from SG Post/Süd Regensburg in 2002.[9] Regensburg played in the Regionalliga Süd, the third tier since with a single season in the 2. Bundesliga in 2003–04. However, the club faced financial difficulties and narrowly avoided bankruptcy in 2005.[10][11] After being relegated to the fourth division, the Oberliga Bayern in 2005–06, Jahn achieved first place in the following season and were promoted back to the Regionalliga Süd. Due to a reorganisation of the leagues, Jahn had to finish in tenth place or higher in order to stay in the third division, which is now the new 3. Liga. Jahn struggled to do so but finished ninth in the end and gained entry to the new league.
The club played its first two seasons in the 3. Liga close to the relegation zone but then improved and came third in 2011–12, qualifying to play against the Karlsruher SC in the promotion round to the 2. Bundesliga. They drew 1–1 at Regensburg and 2–2 at Karlsruhe, which meant Jahn returned to second level after eight years thanks to the away goal rule.
The Jahn finished last in the 2. Bundesliga in 2012–13 and were relegated back to the 3. Liga, finishing eleventh in 2013–14. In 2014–15 they also finished last in the 3. Liga and were relegated back to the Regionalliga. In the following season, they won the Regionalliga Bayern and faced the Regionalliga Nord champions VfL Wolfsburg II in the play-offs. The club defeated Wolfsburg II 2–1 on aggregate and immediately returned to third level for the 2015–16 season.[12] The following season Jahn finished third in the 3. Liga. As in 2012, they were subsequently promoted to the second tier via the play-off, defeating 1860 Munich 3–1 on aggregate.

Reserve team
[edit]SSV Jahn Regensburg II (or SSV Jahn Regensburg Amateure) made a single season appearance in the southern division of the Amateurliga Bayern in 1962–63, the last year of the league being divided into two regional divisions. An eleventh place in the league that season was not enough to qualify for the new single-division league and the team also did not become part of the new Landesliga Bayern-Mitte.[13]
A lengthy period[quantify] in the lower amateur divisions followed until 2002, when the merger of the first team with SG Post/Süd Regensburg allowed the reserve side to take Post's place in the Bayernliga, where the team played from 2002 to 2006. In 2006, the first team's relegation meant, they had to move down one level even so they finished eleventh this season. After three average seasons,[according to whom?] the side became a promotion contender again, finishing second in 2010–11, but losing to SpVgg Bayern Hof in the promotion round.
At the end of the 2011–12 season, the club qualified directly for the newly expanded Bayernliga after finishing third in the Landesliga.[14]
