historical German domestic league tables, accessed: 18 July 2013 The seniors team's rise to professional football in 2002 meant for the reserve side a name change to SV Wacker Burghausen Amateure, but this was reverted in 2005 when all reserve sides of Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga teams moved to a Roman numeral system for identification. The team spent two seasons in the Bayernliga, but was not able to perform as well there as in its previous years, being relegated again in 2006–07, the same year the senior team was relegated from the 2. Bundesliga. ''Wacker II'' had three reasonable seasons in the Landesliga after that but came only 15th in 2010–11 and very close to relegation. The following year the team improved dramatically, taking out the last league title in the Landesliga Süd before it was disbanded.
