 Despite all this, the club did not achieve promotion to the "Gauliga" until 1944, when playing football was already almost impossible due to the worsening war situation.The 1944–45 season barely got under way before it had to be cancelled and the "SpVgg" managed to play only four games.After the Second World War, the US occupation authorities did not permit the formation of more than one club in Ludwigsburg at the time, therefore, all clubs merged temporarily into the SKV Ludwigsburg.
