Bergisch Gladbach
A 1973 merger with "SSG Bergisch Gladbach" – itself newly formed out of the union of "SV Blau-Weiss 1962 Hand", "SV Katterbach", and "Sportfreunde Paffrath" – failed to improve the club's fortunes, and "SSG" slipped to lower-level competition. The club has since made sporadic appearances in the Oberliga Nordrhein (IV) (1987–88, 1996–98, 2003–04), most recently returning to fourth-tier play in 2006. In 2007 Bergisch Gladbach decided to drop "SSG" from its name. The club changed its name again in April 2008 to SV Bergisch Gladbach 09, though it is called Bergisch Gladbach 09 most of the time.
